Nestled in a private and peaceful setting within the charming village of Buckhorn Weston, Bedes Meadow is a delightful 1930s detached residence offering three spacious bedrooms, a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, and a range of well-considered outbuildings including a detached double garage, oak-framed car port, and workshop. Set within beautifully maintained gardens of approximately one-third of an acre, the property is offered with no onward chain. A further 3.23-acre paddock with a private stable block is available by separate negotiation.
Built with traditional brick elevations under a slate roof, the house was thoughtfully extended in 2015/16 to create a well-balanced and versatile home. The accommodation has been carefully designed to suit a variety of buyers, whether as a primary residence, for multi-generational living, or for those working from home.
On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a generous living room complete with fireplace and inset woodburner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen, benefitting from dual aspects, flows seamlessly into a bright and open dining area which overlooks the garden and opens via double doors to an attractive oak-framed loggia – ideal for outdoor dining in all seasons. A utility room, side porch and ground floor cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, a spacious landing gives access to a dual-aspect principal bedroom, alongside two further comfortable double bedrooms. All rooms are served by a stylishly updated family bathroom featuring a panelled bath and a separate walk-in shower.
The one-bedroom annexe sits independently from the main house and enjoys its own private garden space. Inside, the accommodation includes an open-plan kitchen and sitting area, a double bedroom and a modern shower room. This space is ideal for guests, extended family or even as an income-generating rental, and is serviced by its own LPG gas central heating system.
