Sand Road, Wedmore, BS28

A hidden gem in the heart of Wedmore, The Old Coach House is an immaculately presented five-bedroom, period property, brimming with character, with a desirable two-storey converted stone outbuilding with studio and office, landscaped gardens and parking for several cars.

A fabulous timber-framed glass porch provides a bright and spacious entrance into the inner hallway where the period character of the flagstone floor and staircase, set the tone for the welcoming home beyond. The beautiful sitting room, with exposed beams and a woodburning stove, provides a cosy space to relax, and opens out into a glass sunroom offering a light and airy seating area overlooking the courtyard garden. A further reception room has been created with the addition of a glass garden room which provides a calming space in which to sit and admire the garden. The hub of this home is the spacious kitchen diner, complete with a two oven Aga and two-oven gas hob companion Aga, stunning Neptune kitchen with central island. Stylish grey and blue contrasting units housing integrated appliances and a larder cupboard are offset by the fabulous tiled flooring which extends into the extensive dining area and rear boot room where there is access via a stable door to the courtyard garden. The adjoining utility room has ample storage and space for white goods and there is an additional downstairs cloakroom.

On the first floor, the spacious principal bedroom suite has a boutique feel and features a walk-in wardrobe and sleek en-suite with floor to ceiling tiles, free standing bath and separate shower. There are two further double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and views onto the gardens. The family bathroom has been fitted with a modern suite with corner shower, wash-hand basin and WC. From the landing, stairs lead to the second floor offering two further bedrooms, a shower room and dressing area. There is plenty of fitted storage throughout and large Velux windows provide stunning views across the village and open countryside beyond.

Outside

A secluded driveway leads to a pretty block-paved area in front of the house, framed by beech trees, where there is parking and turning for several cars. To the rear of the house, a stone pathway leads to a secluded and cobbled courtyard garden. The front garden has been thoughtfully landscaped providing a pergola with seating area, lawn and a range of trees and shrubs. A sympathetically converted two-storey outbuilding provides studio and office space and faces onto a productive kitchen garden with raised beds and garden shed.
