An exceptional contemporary home with quality interiors and landscaped gardens in an elevated position with village and open country views.

Description

This stunning contemporary home, set on the edge of Croscombe village, has been beautifully designed to maximise its elevated south-facing position and far-reaching countryside views. Built to the highest eco and EMF standards, the home blends seamlessly into its surroundings, offering nearly 4,000 sq ft (including balcony) of elegant, energy-efficient living space designed with health and comfort in mind.

The property is entered via a bridge leading to a bright first-floor hallway. From here, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area unfolds with breath taking views and access to a wrap-around terrace via zero-threshold sliding doors. The bespoke kitchen features ebony granite worktops, top-of-the-range Miele appliances, a boiling tap, and a separate prep kitchen—perfect for entertaining.

Also on this floor is a spacious boot room, a guest cloakroom, and a peaceful sitting room with a media wall, custom cabinetry, and terrace access.

The lower level houses four double bedrooms, all with garden access. The generous principal suite includes a luxurious en suite with walk-in shower, deep bath, twin basins, and a his & hers dressing room. Two additional bedrooms have en suite shower rooms, while the fourth could serve as an extra reception room. A family wet room and a well-equipped laundry room complete the accommodation.

Outside

Approached off a quiet country lane via tall electric gates leading into the property there is a driveway with turning circle and parking for a number of vehicles. The cleverly landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to make the most of this gentle sloping site and now offers a number of terraced areas where there is either space to relax and unwind on a patio area or meander along the gravel pathways to take advantage of the well-stocked flower beds and rockeries. The pathways are designed to walk you through the grounds and take you around the site interspersed with steps to help negotiate the different levels. The grounds enjoy a southerly facing aspect with private section to enjoy the peace and quiet of the setting as well as the impressive sunsets over Wells. The whole gardens amount to just under an acre (0.88 acres approx.) and are private and enclosed by robust fencing and natural hedging.

The lower garden level enjoys a second drive with a five-bar gate leading into the garden off Thrupe Lane.
