Set within the small and peaceful hamlet of Benter, on the edge of Oakhill, 3 Steeds Terrace is an attractive mid-terrace cottage dating back to 1910 which enjoys a quiet rural setting in the midst of open countryside. The property has been carefully looked after by the current owners and presents as a comfortable, well-balanced home with character features and generous outdoor space.

The ground floor is arranged to offer a choice of reception rooms, allowing the house to adapt easily to modern living. A spacious kitchen and living room provide plenty of room for everyday life, while a separate dining room offers a more formal setting for meals and entertaining. To the front of the house, the sitting room is a welcoming and characterful space, centred around a woodburning stove which adds warmth and atmosphere during the winter months. A useful utility room and ground floor cloakroom are discreetly positioned to the rear.

On the first floor, three well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around the landing and served by a family bathroom. Each room feels light and comfortable, making the most of the cottage’s proportions.

Outside
The garden is a particular strength of the property being exceptionally well sized for a cottage and backing onto open fields, creating long views and a strong sense of privacy. The garden offers plenty of space for seating, planting and enjoyment throughout the year. A detached studio/home office provides excellent additional accommodation for home working, creative pursuits or overflow space, well separated from the main house.

Overall, this is a well cared for period home, in a genuinely rural setting, offering a combination of character, practicality and outlook that is increasingly hard to find.

Situation
Benter is one of a small collection of Mendip Hill villages that together form the Parish of Ashwick, set amidst gently rolling countryside and well regarded for its peaceful, rural character.

The nearest village is Oakhill, which has a particularly vibrant and active community and offers a good range of everyday amenities including a primary school, village hall, doctors’ surgery and local shop. There are parish churches at Oakhill, Ashwick and Binegar, all contributing to the strong sense of local identity in the area.The award-winning Oakhill Inn is well known both locally and further afield for its excellent food, real ales, welcoming log fires and comfortable rooms, and makes a natural stopping point after enjoying one of the many walks that cross the surrounding Mendip countryside.

Schooling in the area is well catered for. In addition to the Church of England nursery and primary school in Oakhill, there is a further primary school in Chilcompton. Senior schooling is available in Shepton Mallet, at The Blue School in Wells, and in Radstock and Midsomer Norton. A number of well-regarded independent schools are also within easy reach, including Downside School, approximately a mile away, Wells Cathedral School and All Hallows Preparatory School.

Despite its rural setting, Benter is particularly well placed for access to Bath and Bristol, whether for work, shopping or cultural attractions.Direct rail services to London Paddington are available from Bath Spa and Castle Cary, while Bristol Airport is approximately a 40-minute drive away, making the area both well connected and appealing for commuters and those who travel regularly.
