Bristol Road, Brent Knoll, Somerset, TA9

An exceptional and extended three-bedroom detached country home, privately set with unspoilt views of Brent Knoll and beautiful established gardens.

Approached along a private lane shared by only four properties, the property occupies a particularly attractive position at the foot of Brent Knoll, combining a countryside setting with excellent accessibility. Having been in the same ownership for around 40 years, this individual detached dormer bungalow has been thoughtfully maintained and extended over time, creating a spacious and highly adaptable home with an exceptional outlook and beautifully established grounds.

A five-bar gate opens onto the driveway, providing generous parking and access to the detached double garage. The front garden creates an attractive approach to the house, with areas of lawn, mature planting and stocked borders leading towards the entrance. A useful storm porch opens into the welcoming hallway, which in turn leads to the central reception area forming the natural hub of the ground floor. Attractive timber detailing, tiled flooring and a characterful staircase rising to the first floor add warmth and individuality.

The ground floor offers an excellent degree of flexibility and could readily accommodate a variety of lifestyles, including families, those working from home, visiting guests or buyers looking for predominantly single-level living. The impressive triple-aspect lounge is a particularly generous reception room, extending to over 27 feet in length. A living flame gas fire provides an attractive focal point, while two sets of glazed doors open directly onto the garden, bringing an abundance of natural light into the room and creating a strong connection with the outdoors.

The separate dining room provides ample room for a family-sized table and chairs and is ideally placed for both everyday meals and entertaining. A further versatile room can be used as bedroom 3 or study, making it equally suitable for home working, guests or as an additional reception space. The well-proportioned ground-floor bedroom benefits from a wide front-facing bay window and offers excellent flexibility for those wishing to have bedroom accommodation on the principal living level. A conveniently positioned wet room completes this part of the accommodation.

At the heart of the home is the exceptional open-plan kitchen, breakfast and garden room, added in around 2015. This impressive space has been designed to take full advantage of the natural light and wonderful views towards Brent Knoll. The kitchen provides extensive fitted storage and worktop space together with a central island and seating, while the Rangemaster Classic 110 gas range cooker is included in the sale. Exposed beams, areas of exposed brickwork and extensive glazing give the room considerable character, while the glazed garden room creates a bright and sociable extension of the main living space. Doors open directly onto the garden, making this a superb setting for family life, informal dining and entertaining.

The first floor is devoted to a generous principal bedroom suite, where characterful sloping ceilings and exposed timber details create a distinctive and comfortable retreat. Roof windows provide excellent natural light, while the large window seat offers an ideal vantage point from which to appreciate the exceptional outlook towards Brent Knoll. The bedroom also benefits from useful walk-in wardrobe space and a spacious adjoining wet room with walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin with vanity storage.

Outside, the grounds are one of the property's defining features, combining privacy, mature planting and an open rural outlook. The rear garden extends across a generous lawn towards the surrounding countryside, with Brent Knoll providing a striking backdrop. Established trees, colourful borders and landscaped areas create a variety of attractive spaces, complemented by paved and patio seating areas that are well suited to outdoor dining and entertaining.

There is also a productive vegetable garden and greenhouse, together with a separate substantial brick built sun room providing a sheltered space for hobbies or relaxation. The overall setting offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquillity while remaining closely connected to the surrounding landscape.

The detached double garage is approached directly from the driveway and benefits from an electric roller door and separate pedestrian access. It provides useful space for vehicles, storage and workshop use. The garage is understood to have been constructed with footings and roof construction suitable for possible conversion, subject to the necessary planning permission and building regulations approval.

The current owners have maintained and improved the property over many years. Improvements are understood to include a new roof in 2012, upgraded uPVC guttering, soffits and fascias, solar panels and the addition of the sun room and garden room. The loft conversion is understood to date from around 1986, the sun room from approximately 2013 and the garden room from around 2015. The solar panels are accompanied by an associated Feed-in Tariff arrangement, with recent payment information confirming that generation payments are being received.

The property is conveniently located for Burnham-on-Sea, Highbridge and the surrounding villages, with shops, schools, public houses, leisure facilities and coastal walks all within easy reach. Highbridge provides a mainline railway station with connections towards Bristol, Taunton and beyond, while Junction 22 of the M5 at Edithmead provides excellent access to the wider motorway network. Bristol Airport is also within convenient reach.

This home offers a rare combination of space, individuality and setting. Its extended and versatile accommodation, beautifully private grounds and superb views towards Brent Knoll combine to create a home with a distinctive sense of character and place. An internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the proportions, flexibility and exceptional setting of this individual country home.
