Summer Lane, West Wick, Weston-super-mare

Elm Tree Farm is an alluring period home offering the perfect mix of convenience, individuality, and flexibility. It is set in a highly convenient position, close to amenities, schools, transport links, and wonderful coastal & countryside walks.

Approached  via a private driveway shared with just one other attractive period residence, Elm Tree Farm is immediately appealing with its whitewashed stone walls, handsome clay-tiled roof and beautiful painted shutters, blending traditional English features with French farmhouse chic. To the front of the house there is ample parking for a good number of vehicles along with a large double garage. A pretty picket fence and gate leads you through into the generous front garden which sweeps behind the garage to the side of the house and eventually links to the rear garden. An oak framed porch protects you from the elements and provides access to the property (it should be noted that the original entrance to the house is set to the rear) but for convenience and ease of access the rear door is the main entry point.

From the porch you continue into a spacious reception hallway with a practical tiled floor and access to a useful ground floor cloakroom and utility room with plumbing for white goods and a number of handy cupboards. As is customary with most farmhouses the kitchen is very much the heart of the home, and at Elm Tree Farm there is no exception, for this atmospheric room exudes charm and homeliness with a focus on gathering the family for mealtimes and entertaining visiting friends and of course family pets.

The dual aspect kitchen has three windows that look out to the front with an additional window to the side which bring in excellent natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditional shaker-style wall and base-level units complemented by a striking galaxy granite countertop. The worktop features an inset Belfast sink with extendible mixer tap and 'Quooker' hot water tap as well as an integrated five ring stainless steel gas hob with a stainless steel canopy extractor over. Further built-in appliances include an electric double oven, integrated dishwasher, wine cooler, and microwave. There is also space for an American-style fridge freezer, with travertine stone tiles to the kitchen area leading to a solid wood floor within the dining area. At the rear of the house you will find three reception rooms, one a great sized home office, which could also be utilised as an additional bedroom, and then a characterful dining room with a beautiful exposed stone wall, working shutters, access to the original porch and front door, and a superb inglenook fireplace which features a multi fuel burning stove and is open through to the sitting room. A striking walnut floor flows between the dining room and sitting room and uniforms the two rooms perfectly. The delightful, triple aspect, sitting room is blessed with excellent natural light and has French doors that lead out to a well-positioned sun terrace.

Moving onto the first floor you will find four/five individual bedrooms again full of character; the master suite is a fantastic dual aspect room with a chic en-suite bathroom, with a large rainfall shower, quality fittings and smart tiling, and there is also a small fifth bedroom just outside of the master suite that is currently used as a dressing room. The four remaining bedrooms share use of the huge family bathroom, which is fitted with a luxurious suite including a slipper bath, walk-in shower and quality fixtures and fittings.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy with established trees flanking the boundary, and there are pretty flower borders, a lovely sun terrace and a large area of level lawn, plus within the rear garden is a superb 37ft outbuilding which has been skilfully converted into a bar/play room, ideal for entertaining visitors and family. There is also a large storage shed with a wood store and a workshop along with the double garage. The garden wraps around the house to three sides with plenty of space for a variety of uses, it also features a delightful walnut tree and apple tree, and has parking for five cars.
