The Roman Way, Glastonbury

Originally dating from the 1920s, Arimathea is an individual and substantial home occupying a secluded, elevated position on the southern side of Glastonbury. Taking its name from the legends surrounding Glastonbury’s Holy Thorn, which was sited immediately behind the property, it has been extensively renovated and improved by the current owners, and provides versatile accommodation of approximately 2,110 sq ft, together with two garages and a converted loft room. Generous gardens, a south facing balcony and far reaching views towards Butleigh Moor complete this distinctive family home.

Accommodation
The entrance hall provides access to the principal ground floor rooms, including a generous lounge enjoying a southerly aspect through its bay window and featuring a wood burning stove. There is a separate family room or snug and a further reception room which could also be used as a study or fifth bedroom. The kitchen and dining room is fitted with a contemporary range of wall, base and drawer units, complemented by Corian work surfaces and a curved central island providing additional preparation and storage space. Integrated appliances include a fridge and dishwasher, together with a useful pull out larder. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom with WC and a covered lean to providing access between the front and rear gardens.

From the first floor landing, doors open to four bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate shower room and dedicated home office. The three larger bedrooms are generously proportioned, with the two principal rooms benefiting from fitted wardrobes and far reaching southerly views towards the surrounding countryside. The home office opens directly onto a south facing balcony, from where the elevated position and views can be fully appreciated.

Outside
The property is set well back within its generous plot and approached over a block paved driveway, providing ample parking and access to two separate garages. The larger garage has a converted loft space above, currently used as a snug or den and providing useful additional accommodation. An expansive lawned garden is intersected by a central path leading to a raised brick paved sun terrace. This enjoys far reaching views to the south and west, with Glastonbury Tor visible to the east, and provides ample space for outdoor seating and dining. A covered barbecue area offers further sheltered entertaining space.

The rear garden enjoys a good degree of seclusion and includes a productive vegetable garden with a variety of raised planters. A pedestrian gate provides direct access onto Wearyall Hill, with its network of public footpaths and extensive views across Glastonbury and the surrounding countryside. The property benefits from mains gas, electricity, water and drainage, with gas central heating installed. An extensive solar panel array is linked to a Tesla Powerwall battery, helping to reduce reliance on mains electricity, particularly during the summer months.

Identity Verification
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications.
