Pilcorn Street, Wedmore, BS28

Hidden away in the heart of Wedmore village, on a private south-easterly facing plot, is this deceptively light and spacious four-bedroom dormer bungalow, with open-plan living area opening out to a lovely terrace overlooking the garden, and with a large, gated driveway and numerous outbuildings.

The Cairns is tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, surrounded by an attractive stone wall boundary with a gated entrance to the driveway. The modest house exterior at the front disguises the contemporary open-plan interior with its warm oak flooring, lantern light roof and expanse of bi-fold doors creating an inviting and desirable modern home. The kitchen it fitted with a sleek range of pale coloured contemporary units with contrasting work surfaces, and an adjacent utility room, with a sink, also provides plenty of extra storage. The kitchen is open to the lovely, inviting living space where a thoughtfully designed extension, with lantern light roof, has created a sociable dining area which spills out onto a large, raised and paved terrace looking out over the garden. This dining area flows through to the sitting room which, although open-plan, is still a cosier and more intimate space with a log burning stove, and benefits from glazed French doors to a south-facing terrace. There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, the larger of the two is the principal bedroom which benefits from a beautiful ensuite shower room, built-in wardrobes, and also has French doors to the terrace. The other bedroom is currently used as an office and has a large cupboard with plumbing in place for an ensuite shower room. Upstairs there are two further double bedrooms which share a family bathroom.

For a property in such an enviable village location, it unusual to find such a private and tranquil garden. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden is relatively low maintenance with mature boarders, pretty rose arches and a paved seating area to make the most of the afternoon and evening sun. To the front of the property there is a gated, shingle driveway with a garage, a log store, a shed and a garden studio/summerhouse with electric and lighting. There is also an EV charging point.
