Racecourse Lodge occupies a truly unique position overlooking Wincanton Racecourse, offering uninterrupted views of race days from the comfort of your own home. This substantial detached residence is further enhanced by the rare addition of a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or home working. With four generous double bedrooms, spacious and flexible reception rooms, a private enclosed garden, ample parking and beautifully presented interiors, the property combines character, space and lifestyle in equal measure.


The welcoming entrance is via a wooden post-covered porch which opens into a bright hallway with oak flooring and inset matting. A cloakroom is neatly positioned off the hall, fitted with WC, tiled basin and obscured window. From here, a glazed door leads into the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, a real heart of the home. Original flagstone flooring and slate tiles are complemented by light blue shaker-style units with antique-style handles and under-cabinet lighting. Triple-aspect windows flood the room with natural light, while features include a ceramic sink with swan-neck tap, integrated dishwasher, wine rack and a stainless-steel Belling range cooker with matching extractor. A traditional barn-style door opens directly onto the rear patio, and a practical utility area at one end provides additional storage, integrated appliances and space for a large fridge/freezer.


The dual-aspect sitting room enjoys a bay window to the front and is centred around a multi-fuel burner set on a slate hearth with oak mantel. This attractive fireplace also serves the adjoining dining room, creating a warm and inviting flow between the two spaces.


The dining room benefits from French doors opening onto the garden, along with a front-facing window that ensures excellent natural light throughout the day. Solid oak flooring runs through both rooms, and a staircase with wooden balustrade rises from the sitting room to the first floor.


Upstairs, the landing gives access to all four bedrooms and a shelved airing cupboard, with soft beige-fleck carpeting continuing throughout. A glass-fronted bay area along the hallway forms a natural viewing point, perfectly positioned to take in the panoramic racecourse outlook. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, enjoying a dual aspect with a front-facing dormer overlooking the track and a further window to the garden. It is complemented by a spacious dressing room with open wardrobes and cupboards, and a luxurious en-suite featuring a deep tiled bath, walk-in shower, twin countertop basins, heated towel rail, illuminated mirror and obscured window.
Bedroom two is another generous dual-aspect double with its own en-suite, while bedroom three is a further spacious double with original fireplace. Bedroom four, currently arranged as a study, has a front-facing window and inset wardrobe space. A fully tiled family bathroom completes the floor, fitted with bath, separate corner shower, WC, basin and illuminated mirror.


The self-contained annexe offers excellent independent accommodation, ideal for extended family or visitors. French doors open into a central hallway, with a double bedroom to one side and a step up into the open-plan kitchen and living space. This attractive room features solid oak flooring, French doors to the rear garden, sage green cabinetry with light wood-effect worktops and a striking red gloss splashback. Integrated appliances include an oven with electric hob, fridge and washing machine, complemented by a butcher's block island and pendant lighting. The bedroom provides fitted mirrored wardrobes, space for a double bed and French doors opening to the side driveway. The contemporary bathroom is fully tiled in stone-effect finishes and includes a walk-in shower, WC, heated towel rail, illuminated mirror, a glass basin set on a stone plinth and a ceiling light tunnel.


Access from both the main residence and annex plus a wooden gate lead you through to the enclosed rear garden, where a large paved patio creates an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked planted borders, a summer house and a storage shed, all enclosed by fencing and hedging to provide a good degree of privacy.
To the front a block paved driving offers ample parking for multiple vehicles.
