A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully designed and inviting home, nestled in the heart of a sought-after village. This detached family house enjoys generous living spaces and excellent privacy, set in a quiet community area.
The house features a hallway with a downstairs cloakroom, a spacious living room that opens into a conservatory, a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, and a study. Upstairs, there are 4 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, offering plenty of space for family living.
The south-facing garden is dotted with palm trees and includes terraces, a lawn, and a fabulous swimming pool. At the front, there is a broad driveway and a secure double garage.
Location
St. Medard Road sits in a quiet, well-connected community, perfectly positioned within 10 minutes’ walk of both the school and Wedmore’s vibrant village centre. There are several public footpaths that offer excellent walks through open countryside and Lascot Hill woodland.
Description
Built in 1982, this thoughtfully designed house brings a touch of elegance and warmth with its solid mahogany doors, rich colour palette and ornate details. The living spaces are generously proportioned, including spacious double bedrooms, while the outside is a luxurious retreat with palm trees and a swimming pool.
Accommodation
A solid mahogany front door opens into a large, welcoming hallway with a rich wooden banister and lit by floor-length glazed windows. There is a downstairs cloakroom and coat cupboard. To the left, a spacious double-aspect living room has a bright bay window and an ornate Louis XIV-style fireplace with Japanese marble. Sliding glass doors lead into a sunny, southeast-facing conservatory with views of palm trees and the swimming pool.
Returning to the hallway, a door opens to a cosy study or TV room, with ample space for a large sofa or desk. Another door leads into a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with eye-level units, neutral tiles, a built-in fridge freezer, integrated double oven, and a hob with extractor. There is a versatile utility area with an additional sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Off the kitchen, an exterior door opens onto a patio area complete with a barbeque oven and a secluded spot for outdoor dining.
Opposite the kitchen, a generously sized dining room offers an ideal space for entertaining, with sliding double doors that open onto a terrace with a retractable awning.
Moving upstairs, a solid mahogany banister leads to a wide, galleried landing that connects 4 double bedrooms and a family bathroom with an airing cupboard and bath. The principal bedroom enjoys views of the pool and includes an en-suite shower room. All bedrooms are exceptionally well-proportioned, with the garden-facing rooms featuring built-in wardrobes and ample space for additional furniture.
Outside
The rear garden brings a slice of tropical retreat, with palm and cordyline trees surrounding a 31m x 15m swimming pool. Wonderfully private and not overlooked, the space is framed by bay and laurel trees, a wall trellis with climbing clematis, roses and flowerbeds that enhance its sense of seclusion. Beyond the pool is an L-shaped lawn and a spot to enjoy the evening sun.
A paved terrace extends across the entire rear of the house, allowing each room to open into the outdoors. On the southwest side, there is a discreet garden dining area complete with a barbeque. A path continues from here, joining the front of the house through a secure gate.
At the front, the garden is designed for easy maintenance with gravel beds and palm trees providing a splash of greenery. There is a broad driveway with substantial off-street parking and access to a secure double garage.

About the area

There are historic buildings, including the medieval church next to an old coaching inn, as well as interesting and varied shops, including essentials such as the newsagent, butcher, chemist, doctor’s surgery, plus pubs, restaurants, and tearooms. There is a wide range of clubs and societies, both cultural and sporting. The village also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including an annual beer festival, harvest dinner and open gardens. Most sports activities are catered for in the area: swimming pools at both Cheddar and Wells; sailing and windsurfing clubs at Cheddar Reservoir; the Badgworth Equestrian Centre and the Wedmore 18-hole Golf Course; floodlit astroturf tennis courts, indoor and outdoor bowling greens, football and cricket pitches, and a children’s play area.

City shopping centres are available at Taunton, Bath, and Bristol (each approximately 25 miles away). Communications in the area are good, with access to the M5 (J22 – 10 minutes), connecting to the M4 (J16). A local train service from Highbridge (7 miles) links with the Intercity train services at Taunton and Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington, taking approximately 1½ hours. Bristol International Airport is 15 miles away.
There are excellent state and independent schools in the area, including Wedmore First School, Hugh Sexey’s Middle School (which received an “Outstanding” Ofsted rating in 2007), and the high-performing Kings of Wessex Upper School.
