THE PROPERTY
Allen Residential are pleased to offer for sale this impressive and extensively improved rural home, set within what we understand to be just under an acre of private, unoverlooked grounds, surrounded by open countryside and enjoying views towards Midsomer Norton. Of particular historical interest, we understand the property was once owned by the Prince of Wales and that a Royal Seal features on the deeds. We also understand that the present owners have carried out towards £200,000 worth of improvements, creating beautifully presented, light and airy accommodation combining character with modern design and a high level of specification.
The main living space is open plan, incorporating dining and lounge areas with a roof lantern overhead and 6.2 metre wide sliding patio doors opening onto the paved seating area and gardens, creating a seamless connection between the inside and outside spaces. A modern fitted kitchen provides a contemporary centrepiece and benefits from a built in hot water tap, while matching ceramic floor tiles continue from the interior onto the external patio areas.
There is a separate cosy lounge with feature fireplace and wood burning stove, study/fourth bedroom, together with a useful boot room and cloakroom with WC. The first floor provides three double bedrooms and a good size family bathroom with both bath and separate shower cubicle. The principal bedroom benefits from dressing space, built in wardrobes and a picture frame window enjoying views across the surrounding countryside.
The specification includes triple glazing in part, oil-fired central heating serving the radiators and electric underfloor heating, with the underfloor heating being Wi-Fi controlled and capable of being operated remotely. Floor sockets provide additional flexibility, while eight remote controlled blinds add further convenience. The property also benefits from security lighting around the house and solar panels, with the vendors advising that surplus electricity is sold to the National Grid.
Outside, the gardens are a particular feature, extending to what we understand to be just under an acre and enjoying a private, unoverlooked setting. The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn with trees, shrubs, paved seating areas and an orchard, with the property surrounded by fields. The property also offers excellent ancillary space, including three garages, a carport, two greenhouses, a summer house with electricity, a potting shed with electrical outlets and two further sheds. A gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles.
Midsomer Norton provides a range of amenities along the High Street together with a choice of local schooling, whilst the property is well situated for access to both Bath and Bristol, making it appealing to commuters and those relocating from the cities.
A distinctive rural home offering considerable outside space, extensive improvements, useful ancillary buildings and a fascinating history. For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact the sales team at Allen Residential.
