High Street, Blagdon, BS40

Glen Shean is a handsome detached family home occupying an elevated position on Blagdon's High Street, combining period character with a thoughtful, contemporary finish throughout.

The ground floor opens into a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to a bright dual-aspect living room with an open fireplace.

At the heart of the home is an impressive kitchen/dining room, generous enough to seat a large family or entertain guests, with a feature fireplace with log storage beneath, and a single French door opening onto the rear garden and terrace - a lovely spot for outdoor dining in the warmer months. A separate utility room with WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a striking family bathroom, fitted with a freestanding bath positioned to take in the view, alongside a separate corner shower enclosure finished in natural stone-effect tiling. From the upper floors, the property enjoys lovely views over Blagdon Lake and the rolling countryside beyond.

Outside, the rear garden is a particular highlight, a generous, private, south-west facing plot with a productive greenhouse, cold frame, established fruit trees, and open farmland beyond the boundary. To the front, mature planting, stone steps and established shrubs create an attractive approach to the property, with an attached garage and driveway parking.

There is scope to extend further, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, whether over the garage or to the rear of the property, for those wanting to add further living space.
