Rickhayes, Wincanton, BA9

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully extended and comprehensively upgraded home, situated in a highly sought-after location just off West Hill, with excellent access to Cale Park, Wincanton High Street and local amenities. Thoughtfully renovated throughout with exceptional attention to detail, this property offers high-specification finishes, spacious contemporary living and superb energy efficiency with an impressive Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Band B.

As you enter, a spacious entrance hallway welcomes you, featuring built-in storage and stairs rising to the first floor.

Directly ahead lies the heart of the home, this impressive extended kitchen-diner measuring over 20ft in length, a superb open-plan space designed for modern living and entertaining. The high-specification kitchen includes quartz-style worktops, a Belfast sink with mixer tap, integrated Zanussi eye-level double oven, microwave, induction hob, extractor, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A breakfast bar island provides additional seating, perfect for casual dining, while there is ample room for a large dining table. A feature stone hearth adds character, and bi-folding doors open directly onto the south-facing garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

A doorway from the kitchen/dining area leads to a comfortable sitting room, retaining its original fireplace as an attractive focal point and enjoying a pleasant outlook to the front of the property.

From the hallway, a door to the right leads conveniently to the parking area, while straight ahead opens to a versatile multi-purpose room, currently used as a tool room but ideal as a study, home office or hobby room. A further door provides access to the plant room housing the air source heat pump, solar panel system and 6kW battery storage, supporting highly efficient and sustainable living. Returning along the hallway, a door provides direct access to the rear garden, and there is also access to the spacious utility room/cloakroom, which features a stylish walk-in double shower, vanity unit wash basin and WC. This generous room offers excellent flexibility as a multifunctional space if required.

High-quality Amtico flooring runs throughout the ground floor. The property benefits from double glazing throughout, with triple glazing to the extension. Additional energy-efficient features include solar panels with 6kW battery storage and an air source heat pump, contributing to lower running costs and environmentally conscious living.

Returning to the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor. On the first floor, a bright landing with a window floods the space with natural light. All three bedrooms are well proportioned. Bedrooms Two and Three overlook the front aspect, with Bedroom Two currently utilised as the principal bedroom. Bedroom Three benefits from the original overstairs cupboard. Bedroom One enjoys views across the garden towards Cale Park and the churchyard and benefits from modern floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes providing ample storage. The contemporary family bathroom is stylishly appointed with a corner bath and shower attachment, vanity wash basin with storage, WC and heated towel rail.

The rear garden is south-facing, generous in size and fully enclosed, with a substantial patio directly accessed from the kitchen/diner, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. The remainder is mainly laid to lawn interspersed with established trees and shrubs, along with raised vegetable beds perfect for the keen gardener. This attractive outdoor space provides an excellent setting for both relaxation and social gatherings. A rear gate offers direct access to the footpath leading into Cale Park — a truly special feature of this home.

To the front, the property is also fully enclosed with double gates, a pedestrian gate and a newly completed generous driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, along with a neat lawn area and EV charging point.

Set on a substantial plot, this home seamlessly blends modern living, extensive upgrades and outstanding energy efficiency. The extension also offers potential for future upstairs expansion (subject to the necessary consents), making this a rare and exceptional family home that is ready to move straight into. Viewing is highly recommended.
