Edithmead, Highbridge, TA9

Hidden away on its beautiful green and leafy plot, with formal and kitchen gardens, is this substantial four-bedroom home with stunning open-plan living space and versatile accommodation, on the outskirts of the thriving seaside resort of Burnham-on-Sea, and within easy reach of commuter routes to larger towns and cities.

Midway has developed over the years, from its more modest 1950s construction, into the handsome family home it is today. The most recent renovation created a fabulous, light and spacious garden room, with tiled roof with sky lights, extending the sitting room into the garden, with a wall of sliding glass doors opening out onto a south-west facing terrace. This versatile room is currently used as a dining area with ample space for other comfortable seating. The more intimate and cosy original sitting room area retains its fireplace and has a log burning stove for those cooler months. The kitchen is fitted with a range of pale, Shaker style wall and base units with contrasting work surfaces, with space for an oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Further storage and space for appliances can be found in the utility room where there is an adjoining WC and door to the sociable decking overlooking the garden to the side of the house. The ground floor of this lovely home also has a beautiful, light and bright reception room which is currently an artist’s studio, and a thoughtfully designed integral garage conversion offers plenty of space for a home office, hobby room or perhaps a playroom. The four double bedrooms are upstairs. The principal suite benefits from an ensuite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. The other three bedrooms share a modern family bathroom with a shower over the bath, a wash-hand basin and WC.

Beautiful, mature landscaped gardens wrap around the house on three sides and extend at the rear to encompass a productive cottage garden with fruit and vegetable patch. Various decked and terraced areas provide relaxing and entertaining spaces making the most of the sunshine at different times of the day. The property is framed by mature trees and hedging providing a verdant backdrop to this delightful, level garden. A driveway to the front and side of the property offers plenty of parking for numerous vehicles. Although the garage door remains in situ, the garage itself has been converted into useful living space.
