Description
Property Description: Guide Price: £650,000 - £700,000. Hyfield has been in the same family for around 40 years and has evolved considerably during that time. Originally built as a bungalow, the property was extended to the front and into the loft during the 1990s, creating a surprisingly spacious home with four bedrooms, a study and particularly versatile ground floor accommodation. More recently, the house has been updated with contemporary bathrooms, engineered oak flooring throughout the principal living areas and bedrooms, and a full rewire approximately two years ago.
The sitting room is a particularly lovely space, light and bright with windows on two sides and a southerly aspect across the garden towards Pennard Hill. A woodburning stove creates a natural focal point, while contemporary French doors open directly out to the upper paved terrace, connecting the room with the garden and making the most of the views.
The modern kitchen has a good range of fitted cabinetry and integrated appliances including a Zanussi double oven, extractor, Neff induction hob and Bosch dishwasher, with space for a fridge/freezer. An archway connects the kitchen with the dining room, creating an easy flow between the two spaces. Beyond the kitchen is a good sized utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and plenty of additional storage within fitted wall and base units plus a sink.
Two bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, both with built-in wardrobes, alongside a recently updated shower room. There is also a separate study, ideal for anyone working from home or providing useful additional space away from the main living rooms.
Upstairs are two further bedrooms, both with eaves storage and wonderful southerly views across the village towards Pennard Hill. One of the bedrooms has its own modern ensuite shower room. There is scope, subject to any necessary consents, to enlarge the upstairs rooms by extending the existing dormers.
Outside: Outside, a brick paved driveway has parking for numerous vehicles and leads to the garage, with the added convenience of an EV charging point. There is a garden to the front, while the main garden lies to the rear and faces south. Two raised paved terraces provide plenty of room for outdoor dining and seating, with one incorporating a glazed and metal balustrade from which to take in the outlook. Steps lead down through mature planting to a large lawn, creating a garden with plenty of space while remaining relatively straightforward to maintain.
With four bedrooms, three separate ground floor living/work spaces, generous parking and a sunny garden, this property is a flexible village home in a particularly appealing position, with its elevated outlook towards Pennard Hill adding something rather special.
Location: The house is situated in the heart of Pilton and within walking distance of all the village amenities. Pilton lies between the towns of Glastonbury, Wells and Shepton Mallet and is known for its green spaces and pretty stone cottages, as well as the world famous Glastonbury Festival (for which the purchaser of this property will get free tickets). This thriving village has a shop, a fabulous pub with venue and garden, community run coffee shop, post office, playing fields (including skate park and tennis courts), church, chapel, playgroup, allotments, a community orchard and numerous clubs. The village is also home to The Pilton Stage and Village Hall which acts as a community venue for music, events & functions. Throughout the year the village hosts several well attended events including the village flower show and fete. The village is steeped in history with almost 70 listed buildings including the 11th Century Church and the restored 14th Century tithe barn which is now used for a variety of village events.

The historic cathedral city of Wells is just five miles away and is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). Its centre has the market place (local markets held twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and the moated Bishops Palace as well as its bustling high street. Glastonbury is a small but busy town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the majestic ruins of the Abbey. There are regular farmer’s markets in Wells, Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet (just three miles away) and these locations offer a variety of coffee shops, restaurants and independent shops. All the usual supermarkets can be found in any of these three locations and there are great local farm shops including Hunt's Food Hall or maybe try the local producer Brown Cow Organics. There are fabulous walks on your doorstep over the surrounding countryside. Just 20 minutes away is the town of Bruton with its boutique shops, famous restaurants and world-renowned Hauser & Wirth Art Gallery. Bristol and Bath and Frome are all within approximately an hour’s drive and a mainline station with trains to London Paddington, is situated less than five miles away at Castle Cary, with further mainline stations at Yeovil, Bristol and Bath. Bristol International Airport is just sixteen miles away.
There is an excellent range of both state and independent schools in the area including the well-respected West Pennard Primary School in the neighbouring village that has a school bus from Pilton. Millfield School, Wells Cathedral School, The Blue School in Wells, Strode College in Street, All Hallows, Downside School and numerous local primary schools are all accessible from the area.
