Gurney Slade, Radstock, Somerset, BA3

A modern, light and spacious four bedroom detached house, built in 2022, situated within the popular Mendip village of Gurney Slade. Enjoying pleasant views across neighbouring farmland, this attractive property has been finished to a high standard and includes a double garage, ample gated parking, air-source heating and EV charging. Viewings highly recommended. EPC rating B.


A door to the front of the property opens into an inviting central hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first floor accommodation and a storage cupboard beneath. To the left of the hall is a downstairs WC, which has added space to add a shower, should a purchaser wish to alter in the future. On the opposite side is the main sitting room, which is dual-aspect with a double glazed bay window to the front and a set of patio doors to the side, allowing in lots of natural light. A corner wood burning stove then creates the perfect focal point.

One of the main selling points of this fabulous modern home is the incredibly spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. Measuring over 30’ long, this impressive room has been designed very much for families and for those who enjoy entertaining guests. At one end of the room is a living area, comfortably accommodating a selection of soft furnishings, with a second set of double glazed patio doors opening out to the lawned garden at the side.

The kitchen itself has been stylishly fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units with Corian work surfaces and a superb island with breakfast bar. Within the kitchen, there are two integrated electric ovens, an induction hob with extractor over, as well as a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. For those who enjoy cooking, located off the kitchen is a wonderful walk-in pantry, another thoughtful addition. In between the kitchen area and living space, there is plenty of room for a good size dining table and chairs. An opening then leads through into a garden room at the rear, providing an additional seating area, taking in a pleasant outlook behind, with further access to the garden.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is the utility room – a particularly useful space offering an external door, plumbing for a washing machine/tumble dryer and entry through to the double garage. The whole of the ground floor is served by under floor heating.

On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, all of which are well-proportioned. The master and the second bedroom are located at the back of the house, both with the advantage of fine views (the master being dual-aspect) and smart en-suite shower rooms.

The family bathroom is well-appointed, with a matching white suite comprising a panelled bath, a low-level WC and a vanity wash hand basin with tiled splashbacks. There is also a heated towel rail and extractor.

OUTSIDE
To the front and side of the property is a large gated driveway providing off-road parking for numerous vehicles, laid to stone chippings and enclosed by attractive stone walling. Upon entry, there is an intercom system, and the driveway also offers an EV charging point beside the adjoining double garage. Fitted with an electric door, light and power, the double garage provides extensive storage and for added convenience, benefits from an inner door to the utility room.

The gardens are situated to the rear and side of the house and are also enclosed with walling and fencing, allowing for a child-friendly space. At the rear, an area of patio and stone chippings, which also wraps behind the double garage, provides a lovely seating area with a rural outlook, ideal for families and outdoor dining. To the side, there is a generous area of lawn which incorporates a garden shed for further storage.

The property is set in the village of Gurney Slade on the Mendip Hills, which has a local store/Post Office and a good pub. The adjoining village of Binegar, located less than a half a mile away, also offers a popular pub and a village hall with a large children’s playpark. Gurney Slade has excellent road links via the A37 and is considered commutable to both Bath and Bristol.

The nearby City of Wells is renowned for its beautiful architecture, including the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace. England’s smallest city, Wells, contains many clubs and societies for those wishing to get involved in the thriving local community.

There are excellent shopping facilities, a bustling High Street with both independent and well-known retailers, as well as various major supermarkets, including Waitrose. Wells also benefits from a busy, twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square. Bristol and Bath are readily accessible, as is Castle Cary to the south, which has the nearest mainline train station to London Paddington.
