Copsewood Lane, Stone Allerton, Axbridge, BS26

With vacant possession, Selworthy House is a handsome, stone-clad, five-bedroom modern home with double garage and mature gardens hidden away on a tranquil, level plot.

This elegant home with its secluded garden, situated on a quiet lane in the sought-after hamlet of Stone Allerton, is an ideal choice for anyone wanting a peaceful, rural retreat which is conveniently located for commuter routes, thriving local villages and towns, and renowned state and private schooling.

This executive home was built in 1993, one of two individual detached homes on an exclusive plot. Selworthy House has been lovingly maintained over the years and has a light, modern interior with well-proportioned rooms linked by a bright, spacious and welcoming entrance hall. The sitting room, with its contemporary feature fireplace, runs the depth of the property with windows overlooking the front and bifold doors to the rear. The dining room extends into the conservatory allowing this sociable entertaining area to spill out onto the garden terrace. Adjacent to the dining room is the kitchen, which retains its original wooden wall and base units with integrated appliances, and has direct access into the integral double garage and access to the side of the property.

The five double bedrooms are on the first floor with the smallest of the bedrooms currently configured as an office. The principal suite benefits from fitted wardrobes and drawers, and a large ensuite bathroom with separate shower cubicle. The other bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Outside, a smart, block paved driveway (shared with the attractive neighbouring property) is bordered by lawn, raised beds and attractive stone walling and provides access to the double garage. The lovely rear, south-westerly facing garden is mainly laid to lawn with plenty of opportunity for someone with green-fingers or for outdoor family life. The historic stone wall on the left-hand boundary adds character and charm to the gardens whilst fencing and hedging on the other boundaries provides privacy.
