West End, Wedmore, BS28

With no onward chain, this handsome Grade II listed, four/five-bedroom home, dating back to the sixteenth century, in an enviable Wedmore location with pretty South-West facing gardens, driveway and detached barn, is steeped in village history, retaining many charming character features which now blend sympathetically with modern style and comfort.

The beautiful Blue Lias and Wedmore stone façade of the older part of the building, with its moulded, mullioned windows, houses the sitting room, three/four bedrooms a bathroom and a shower room, which are spread over three floors. At a later date the old stables were converted to extend the living space and add a double bedroom, shower room and utility room, creating a versatile area which would lend itself to being a guest suite or perhaps accommodate multi-generational living, or a home business. This transformation created the fabulous 27’ kitchen and living area, with vaulted ceiling and windows overlooking the garden, which is now at the heart of this charming home. The kitchen is fitted with a bespoke range of base units with contrasting work surfaces, and includes dining table and comfortable seating. The sitting room, with its beams and inglenook fireplace with log burning stove, exudes the warmth and charm which characterise this property, and it offers a cosy retreat in which to relax or entertain. Of the bedrooms, two elegant, bright, double rooms are on the first floor and share a smart contemporary bathroom with warm wooden flooring, a free-standing bath, wash-hand basin and WC. On the landing, a door swings open to reveal a hidden staircase leading up to the attic room. Once divided into two smaller bedrooms, it has been opened up into one larger, more usable bedroom space with a bedroom area each end and an ensuite shower room in the middle.

Outside, the beautiful, landscaped, level garden stretches across the width of the house with paved terracing providing a sociable space to enjoy those sunny days and warm evenings. Stone walling and an extensive 32’ stone barn encircle the lawn creating a private, tranquil space. A gated driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles and access to the barn.
