Hillgrove, Nr Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

North Lodge is a beautifully presented former Estate Lodge set in just shy of 1 acre of mature grounds and woodland with ample parking, detached garage and offered with no onward chain. The property has been enhanced by the current owners who have recently finished renovating the property to a high standard with the addition of a newly fitted high specification kitchen, shower room, heating, electrics, engineered wood floors, fireplace and electric gates along with full decoration throughout.

Upon entering the property is a welcoming entrance hall which leads into the spacious and light filled sitting room with engineered wooden floors and a wood burner with wooden mantle as the focal point. French doors from the sitting room open into the conservatory which has a wonderful triple aspect view overlooking the gardens. The bespoke kitchen was completed in December 2024 and features an array of fitted cabinetry topped with stone worktops and breakfast bar to sit and enjoy the garden views. Within the kitchen is a Neff 'slide and hide' electric oven, microwave/grill, induction hob, integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer. A utility room can be accessed from the kitchen with further storage, plumbing for white goods, access into the garden and a separate w/c with wash hand basin. Across from the kitchen is the dining room, a perfect room for formal dining and entertaining with space to accommodate a table for six to eight people. This room could equally be used as an extra bedroom if desired.

There are two double bedrooms and a good sized single bedroom in North Lodge, all of which are accessed from the main inner hallway. The double bedrooms both benefit from a sunny dual aspect, with one having views over the garden. The third bedroom has a rear aspect and would make a perfect home office, if desired. The newly fitted shower room features a large corner shower enclosure with powerful shower, toilet, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

OUTSIDE

North Lodge is set in just under an acre plot with mature gardens and woodland. The property has plenty to offer those who wish to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle with plenty of space to grow your own vegetables. An electric gate opens reveal a driveway to accommodate three to four cars leading to the large single garage. The gardens have been lovingly tended to create a variety of spaces to sit and enjoy the sun throughout the day. Mainly laid to lawn with a wide array of shrubs, flowers, bushes and a pond. A gate opens to a beautiful woodland with numerous outbuildings, wood stores and a fire pit. This really is a beautiful spot for those who appreciate the natural beauty of the rich Somerset countryside, on the Mendip Hills - 900 feet above sea level and yet with a bus stop, just outside, to either travel into Wells city centre or to Bristol.
