Description
Tucked away within a small and private cul-de-sac in the heart of Cranmore, this handsome detached home occupies a particularly peaceful setting, opposite the green and with a gently sloping garden that falls to a picturesque stream feeding the duck pond beyond. Constructed some twenty years ago and subsequently enhanced, it offers generous family proportions, considered modern specification and strong eco credentials, all within a sought after village community.
Approached via a gravel driveway providing parking for four cars and access to the double garage, the house presents an attractive and well-maintained façade, its external walls at the sides of the property professionally recoated in 2019 with a high-performance, breathable and fully waterproof finish carrying a long-term guarantee. The sense of quality continues inside.
A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to the principal reception spaces. The dual-aspect living room is both elegant and comfortable, centred around a Doulting stone fireplace with newly installed wood-burning stove. Oak flooring and soft natural light create a calm and refined atmosphere, with views across the rear garden.
Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, extending to over 30 feet in length and designed for both everyday living and entertaining on a larger scale. French doors open directly onto the garden terrace, encouraging a seamless flow between inside and out. The kitchen itself is well appointed with maple cabinetry, granite worktops and a substantial central island with secondary sink, complemented by a reconditioned Smeg range cooker, integrated appliances and tumbled limestone flooring. Made-to-measure wooden shutters add character and privacy. A separate utility room, complete with additional sink and water softener, provides practical support and internal access to the double garage.
Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, supplemented by oil-fired central heating, ensuring comfort year-round.
On the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including one with an en suite shower room, alongside a beautifully refitted family bathroom. Two bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes. A solid oak staircase rises further to the top floor, where the principal bedroom suite spans the full width of the house. Bathed in natural light from large Velux windows, this is a wonderfully private retreat with its own contemporary en-suite and extensive eaves storage.
All bathrooms have been tastefully renovated in recent years, finished in a clean, modern style with quality fittings.
Outside, the rear garden is both charming and distinctive. A combination of decking and lawn is softened by box hedging, while the ground gently slopes down to a clear running stream - a delightful and increasingly rare feature that enhances the sense of tranquillity. To the front, a gravelled garden and side gate complete the picture.
The property’s eco credentials are noteworthy. Solar panels with battery storage, installed in 2024, significantly reduce electricity costs during peak sunshine hours, complementing the home’s EPC rating of C and underlining its forward-thinking approach.
Cranmore itself is a village with genuine community spirit, centred around a fine medieval church, a country pub opposite the duck pond and an active village hall. The former Manor Farm setting gives the cul-de-sac a sense of heritage, while the communal green hosts seasonal gatherings and summer barbecues. Amenities include a cricket club, tennis court, children’s play area and the much-loved East Somerset Steam Railway with its café and festive winter events.
Despite its rural charm, the village is well connected. Wells is approximately 20 minutes away, Bath around 35 minutes, and Bruton – with The Newt and Hauser & Wirth – within easy reach. Rail services from Castle Cary, Frome and Westbury provide convenient links further afield, and Bristol Airport is approximately 45 minutes by car. A number of highly regarded schools, both state and independent, are within comfortable driving distance, including All Hallows, Downside, Millfield and Wells Cathedral School.
A beautifully balanced family house in a genuinely special village setting, offering space, privacy and efficiency in equal measure.
Please note, a management fee for communal areas of £150 per annum is applicable.
