Description

Handsome and impressive from the front; beautiful, tranquil and luscious at the rear, this substantial family home,on approx 1/3 acre, with its well-proportioned reception rooms, five/six bedrooms, extensive driveway with triple garage, and current planning permission, is an exciting find in the heart of historic Wedmore.

This welcoming home combines space and elegance with warmth, charm and character.

It is fitted with modern wall and base units, with timeless granite work surfaces, and a beautiful Aga. French doors open out to a larger terrace offering fantastic space for alfresco entertaining or relaxing. Adjoining the kitchen there is a versatile room which is currently used as a dining room, but could be a playroom, second sitting room or hobby room. There is a large utility/boot room which provides extended storage off the kitchen, and a separate laundry room which also has storage and has plumbing for the washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. A further ground floor room, currently an office, could easily be converted to provide a downstairs bedroom with ensuite facilities. There are four double bedrooms and one single upstairs, the three largest overlooking the beautiful back garden. The fabulous master suite is approximately 16ft square, with a run of fitted wardrobes and a spacious ensuite with a shower and a bath. The second bedroom also has an ensuite shower room whilst the other three bedrooms share a family bathroom. The home is warmed by gas central heating and is double glazed throughout.

Outside

A five bar gate swings open onto an extensive driveway at the front of the property with parking for numerous vehicles. To the side of the triple garage, a lovely wooden lychgate-style entrance opens to reveal a beautiful green and private haven of a rear garden stretching out before you. Mainly laid to lawn and bordered by colourful flower beds the garden offers plenty of opportunities for the green-fingered and space for active family life. There is planning permission for a three bedroom house to replace the existing garage and for a new garage and access for the main house.
