Sparrow Hill Way, Weare, Axbridge, BS26

Charming, modern, three double bedroom home, with pretty stone façade, lovely southwest facing garden, single integrated garage with driveway parking, in a sought-after village location.

Pippin House is a warm and inviting home, built around 2008, combining a practical layout with contemporary colour palette and finish. The ground floor is designed with modern open-plan living in mind, with double doors between the sitting room and dining room creating more intimate spaces when needed. The current vendors added an attractive ‘David Salibury’ garden room, extending this sociable space into the garden and making the most of the countryside views in all weathers. Beautiful warm wooden flooring flows seamlessly from the hall and cloakroom, into the kitchen and dining room, and into the utility/boot room. The kitchen and utility are fitted with a range of matching wall and base units topped with contrasting worksurfaces. There is space for a range-style cooker in the kitchen and space for appliances in the utility room, where there is also a door to the integral, single garage. The open-plan kitchen/dining area is delineated by a peninsular which provides extra kitchen storage and useful worktop space and there is plenty of room for a dining table and chairs. The sitting room is a cosier, carpeted room and features a log burning stove.

At the top of the stairs, the landing provides a small area with a window, ideal for a quiet reading space or study. There are three double bedrooms, all with countryside views. The principal suite benefits from a contemporary, ensuite shower room, whilst the other two bedrooms share a smart family bathroom.

The pretty, rear garden faces south-west, benefitting from lovely countryside views and enjoys sunshine throughout warm sunny days. The garden is level and is mainly laid to lawn with paved terraces for seating and a raised vegetable bed. At the front of the house a tarmac and shingle driveway provides parking for two vehicles and access to the single garage.

The property is situated within walking distance of Weare First School, making it an ideal family home for those with young children. For rural pursuits and commuting, Weare is ideally placed within the beautiful Somerset countryside with easy access to the A38 which provides direct access to the M5 and Bristol Airport.
