Redmans Hill, Blackford, Wedmore, BS28

Fabulous open-plan four-bedroom family home completely transformed, refurbished and remodelled with cinema room, external home office, driveway parking and lovely private garden bordered by open farmland, in a sought-after village location.

The transformation of this home has created a beautiful open-plan kitchen/dining/living space with glazed doors sliding back to allow this sociable space to spill out into the garden, appealing to modern tastes and contemporary way of living. Warm luxury vinyl, wood-effect flooring runs throughout this space from the front door through to the inner hallway. The kitchen is fitted with a range of Shaker-style wall and base units with contrasting quartz worksurfaces, a breakfast bar, and adjoining utility which provides additional storage and adds to the space and plumbing available for appliances. The kitchen draws you through from the entrance hall, where there is plenty of space for coats and boots and has thoughtfully designed underfloor heating area for drying off wet boots and paws. The clever design of this home has incorporated many enviable features including a cosy cinema room, hidden away off the inner hallway adjacent to the main family living area. The three main double bedrooms and the beautiful, sleek, family bathroom, with its freestanding bath and walk-in shower, are also accessed from this hallway. The principal suite not only has an enviable walk-in wardrobe but also a lovely ensuite bathroom and French doors to a private terrace overlooking the garden. The fourth bedroom, currently used a snug, is at the front of the property and looks out over the driveway.

At the rear, paved and shingle terracing border the lawn on two sides providing plenty of space for relaxing, entertaining, gardening or children’s play and there is a useful addition of a substantial timber-framed garden office, with covered decking, providing an ideal work-from-home space. Tranquil open farmland, with countryside walks, frames the view from the back garden. At the front of the property an extensive driveway sweeps up to the house, with parking for multiple vehicles and side access to the rear garden. Highbanks transformation not only embraced the layout but also the modern exterior finish which includes beautiful Manadarine Stone steps leading up to the front door and contrasting warm wooden cladding against pristine white render.
