Top Road, Shipham

Positioned in an elevated and exceptionally peaceful setting on the edge of Shipham, Windyridge is a detached home offering generous proportions, wonderful views, and clear potential for further enhancement. 

The house is approached via a useful entrance porch, leading into a central hallway. The ground floor accommodation is well balanced, comprising a good size sitting room featuring a characterful stone-built fireplace, a separate dining room, and a kitchen overlooking the surrounding greenery. The kitchen is a light and airy space, fitted with a range of wooden units providing ample storage and generous worktop space, along with integrated appliances including an oven and separate hob. A convenient cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying a pleasant outlook and served by a spacious family bathroom fitted with a bath, walk-in shower, wash basin and bidet, with a separate WC. While the property would benefit from updating, it has been well maintained and offers an excellent canvas for improvement.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The elevated position provides far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, with a real sense of privacy and tranquillity. The gardens are mature and particularly attractive, offering a variety of established planting and pleasant areas to enjoy the setting. There is also the benefit of outbuildings providing useful additional storage. Ample off-road parking and a large garage further enhance the practicality of the home.

What We Love About The Property... We particularly appreciate the quiet peaceful setting and the sense of space that comes with the elevated position. It’s a rare opportunity to secure a home in such a tranquil spot, with wonderful views and clear potential to make it your own.
