Description
Albion House is a most attractive period home, thoughtfully extended and exceptionally well maintained by the present owners. Combining elegant Victorian character with modern comforts, the property offers substantial and versatile accommodation, ideal for family living, multi-generational occupation or those seeking income potential through holiday letting.
The house occupies a wonderful position on the rural fringes of Street, surrounded by open countryside and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape towards the Mendip Hills and Glastonbury Tor, whilst also being within minutes of Millfield School, Brookside Academy and Strode College.
The principal entrance is approached via a sheltered storm porch leading into an entrance vestibule and reception hall. The hall immediately sets the tone for the property, retaining many original features including decorative cornicing, exposed timber floorboards, stained and leaded internal glazing and a turning staircase rising to the first floor.
The sitting room is an elegant and generously proportioned reception room with a large bay window overlooking the front garden and an attractive open fireplace forming the focal point.
A separate snug provides a cosy retreat, centred around a wood-burning stove set within the chimney breast, with bespoke storage and display shelving to either side.
At the heart of the home is the beautifully appointed kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of bespoke cabinetry beneath granite worktops and complemented by flagstone flooring. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, double oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.
Beyond lies an excellent utility room, providing further storage, an additional sink and practical workspace, together with a cloakroom and access to the rear gardens.
The dining room has been thoughtfully opened up from the kitchen, creating a superb family and entertaining space with plenty of space for a large dining table or further seating arrangements. Filled with natural light from its dual aspect and bi-fold doors, it enjoys wonderful views over the gardens and countryside beyond.
A particularly attractive feature of the property is the flexibility of the accommodation. Beyond the dining room, a separate wing offers the potential for self-contained annexe accommodation, guest suites or holiday letting.
This area incorporates a well appointed wet room on the ground floor, along with access to the integral garage, which could readily be converted and incorporated into additional living accommodation if required, (subject to any necessary consents).
Stairs rise to a spacious double bedroom with access onto a large balcony overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside. A further staircase leads to an additional room currently used as an office, equally suited as a bedroom, living space or studio.
The balcony itself provides a spectacular vantage point from which to enjoy panoramic views stretching across the countryside towards the Mendip Hills and Glastonbury Tor.
The principal accommodation for Albion House is accessed from the main staircase, with the first floor comprising two excellent double bedrooms, a study or occasional bedroom and a luxurious family bathroom fitted with a Heritage suite including a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and wash basin. The bathroom also enjoys particularly fine views across the rear gardens.
A further staircase rises to the top floor where a delightful double bedroom enjoys excellent natural light from roof windows and glazed doors opening onto a private, rear facing balcony. Extensive eaves storage is incorporated within fitted cupboards.
Outside
Albion House is approached via a paved driveway providing parking and access to the integral garage. Additional gated parking is situated to the side of the property, creating space for several further vehicles.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property and have been beautifully landscaped to create a series of attractive outdoor spaces. Immediately adjoining the house is a raised decked terrace, partly covered and ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Beyond, winding pathways meander through extensive lawns interspersed with mature flower borders, specimen shrubs and fruit trees. Various seating areas have been carefully positioned to take advantage of the sun throughout the day and the exceptional views. A greenhouse and substantial garden store will appeal to keen gardeners.
The gardens provide a wonderful setting for family life and outdoor entertaining whilst enjoying a high degree of privacy and a stunning rural backdrop.

A few extra comments
