Sunny Hill, Bruton, Somerset, BA10

Occupying a generous plot in the sought-after Sunny Hill area of Bruton, this individual detached house offers well balanced family accommodation, mature gardens and a wealth of character.

Just a short walk from Sexey's School and within easy reach of the town centre, the property is conveniently placed for everyday amenities.

The house has been in the same ownership since 1992 and has evolved to meet the needs of family life. Sympathetically extended over the years, an impressive principal bedroom has been added, now providing four bedrooms, together with a spacious dining room, still retaining much of the charm and character associated with its 1930s origins. The unusually wide plot presents further opportunities for extension or remodeling, subject to the necessary consents.

A composite front door opens into an entrance vestibule, where a generous walk-in coats cupboard provides excellent storage. An archway leads through to the welcoming reception hall, with a cloakroom conveniently positioned just off the hallway.

The dual aspect sitting room is a particularly comfortable space, filled with natural light and centred around an attractive open fireplace. The spacious dining room provides an excellent setting for family meals and entertaining, with French doors opening onto the rear garden and creating an easy connection with the outside space. A separate study provides an ideal home office or additional reception room and enjoys views across the garden towards the adjoining fields. An original cast-iron fireplace, now decorative, provides a reminder of the property's heritage.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of classic shaker style units and includes underfloor heating, an integrated fridge freezer and a ceramic sink. For those seeking a more contemporary layout, there is clear potential to combine the kitchen with the adjoining study to create an impressive open-plan kitchen and family room, subject to any necessary approvals.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a detached outbuilding arranged as a practical utility room with fitted units, sink, and space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The first floor comprises four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a notable feature of the house, extending to over 22 feet in length and offering an abundance of space. Three of the bedrooms enjoy open views across the neighbouring field.

Outside, the gardens are another highlight. A substantial double garage is complemented by a large driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. The gardens are principally laid to lawn, with established planting and seating areas positioned to both the front and rear, offering places to enjoy the sun throughout the day.

The house retains many original details, including picture rails, exposed timber floorboards and period fireplaces, complemented by modern additions such as gas fired central heating, double glazing and underfloor heating in the kitchen.

Individual 1930’s houses of this quality and setting are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Combining generous accommodation, a wide plot, and excellent potential for further enhancement, this has been a much loved family home for more than thirty years and is ready for its next chapter.
