Description

This beautifully appointed and extended family home, built in the 1930s, offers an abundance of flexible living space perfect for a growing family, set within stunning grounds of just under half an acre. Situated in a tranquil position, it boasts well-stocked private gardens, ample off-street parking, a large double garage, and is ideally placed for excellent schools and family adventures.

On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a series of adaptable living areas designed for family life. There's a cosy snug with an ornate open fire, perfect for quiet evenings or homework, and an elegant sitting room featuring a multi-fuel burner, providing a wonderful space for family gatherings. A versatile guest bedroom, currently utilised as a Pilates studio, includes a charming mezzanine floor, a pitched roof with two Velux skylight windows, and an adjoining shower room – this would be an ideal suite for visiting grandparents or a teenager wanting their own space. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen/dining room, fantastic for busy mealtimes and entertaining with friends, and complemented by a large utility room, invaluable for family chores. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a bright conservatory with stunning garden views, offering a peaceful retreat,  and a well-proportioned study, ideal for home working or school projects, plus a contemporary WC.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, ensuring ample space for everyone and with beautiful views towards the Mendip Hills. The impressive principal suite features a generous en-suite bathroom and ample storage, providing a private haven for parents, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom.

Externally, the property benefits from a super larger-than-average double garage and generous gardens extending to just under half an acre. The gardens are beautifully maintained, offering complete privacy and a tranquil setting. Predominantly laid to lawn, they create a wonderful sense of openness both at the front and rear of the home. A substantial shingled driveway provides ample parking for multiple cars and enhances the welcoming approach. The front of the property enjoys a desirable south-west-facing aspect. Framed by mature hedging and trees, the front garden is divided into two distinct areas, each with its own lawn and patio – perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation in total seclusion. The rear garden continues the same theme, also with mature hedging providing complete privacy, with a raised lawn, ideal for family activities or entertaining.

The garage, constructed with double-skin walls and added insulation, is currently set up as a home gym, offering potential for conversion into a playroom, home office, or even an annexe (subject to the necessary consents), adapting as your family's needs evolve.

What we love about the property ... This immaculate and well-maintained property is tucked away on a quiet lane within the village, yet is only a short walk to local pubs, a popular cider barn and a well-stocked community village store, making daily errands a breeze. Scenic walks are right on your doorstep, leading to the nearby village of Cheddar which offers an array of cafes, pubs and restaurants. With its excellent village school, and close proximity to middle and secondary schools, this home is perfectly positioned for family life.

Situation: The village of Draycott is located in Somerset, on the Wells side of Cheddar, approximately seven miles from the cathedral city of Wells. It offers an unspoilt rural charm, with a mix of characterful housing including traditional cottages, bungalows, modern homes, and larger period properties that together create a distinctive village atmosphere. Local amenities include a fantastic first school, a popular community-run shop, and welcoming village pubs. A wider range of facilities, including Fairlands Middle School and The Kings of Wessex Academy for older students, can be found in nearby Cheddar. Draycott is well placed for commuting, with Bristol 20 miles and Weston-super-Mare around 13 miles away, and the M5 motorway (junction 22) approximately 12 miles distant. Bristol Airport is also conveniently located about 12 miles to the north. The surrounding countryside is renowned for its natural beauty, with superb countryside walks on the doorstep, and nearby attractions including the famous Cheddar Gorge and the historic city of Wells, both just a short drive away, offering endless opportunities for family days out.
