Accommodation
The property is set back within an elevated, tucked away south facing position, along the ever popular The Roman Way. The Roman Way is pleasantly situated towards the outskirts of Glastonbury on a quiet, yet convenient location, just a short walk or drive to the centre of either Glastonbury or Street, with the surrounding countryside, including Wirryall Hill, on its doorstep.
The property enjoys plenty of living space, set across three floors, and so offers a great deal of versatility.
Entering the property from the font, you come into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, with a triple aspect sitting room off to the left and a generous and fully fitted kitchen/dining room off to the right.
Lying ahead of the entrance hall is a cloakroom/shower room, which offers plumbing for laundry/utility facilities, along with a fitted sauna.
The sitting room is one of two large reception rooms, whilst the kitchen/diner offers plenty of space for a dining table, which complements the breakfast bar, Range oven and the comprehensive range of cabinetry. The kitchen is also fitted with a purified drinking water tap.
Both the sitting room and kitchen/diner enjoy plenty of light, with the sitting room having a triple aspect and doors out onto the terrace, whilst the kitchen/diner has a dual aspect and also has doors onto the terrace.
From the kitchen, a doorway leads to a further reception room which is particularly spacious and makes for a fantastic entertaining space. The room has an open fireplace, a dual aspect and stairs which rise to the first floor, whilst a further door leads through into the side porch/ additional utility room.
The remaining accommodation is split across the first and second floors, with the loft having been converted to create additional rooms. In brief, the two floors comprise seven bedrooms, five of which are doubles and two are singles, along with a family bathroom and ample eaves storage.

About the area
Glastonbury has been a religious centre throughout history and back into the times of legends. The Celtic monastery evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys and the town grew up alongside it. Today it’s a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey which sits within 36 beautifully peaceful acres of parkland.
Just 5 miles from Glastonbury is Wells which is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). Its centre is the market place (local markets twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace.
Immediately to the south (2 miles) of Glastonbury is the more recent town of Street and these centres provide a huge range of facilities and amenities. There are excellent local schools and the private sector includes Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows and the Bruton schools. About 12 miles south east is Castle Cary station with a main rail line to London.

P.S. A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help.
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
