Birch Close, Wedmore, BS28

Nestled in a quiet, sought-after cul-de-sac near Wedmore’s popular West End, this spacious bungalow with two double bedrooms, open-plan kitchen, living room and fabulous garden room, has an integral double garage and is set back on its generous plot which features a beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden.

1 Birch Close has been a well maintained and loved home with well-proportioned rooms decorated in a neutral colour palette. The sizeable kitchen and living area flow into the exceptional garden room creating a light, airy living space with views over the stunning rear garden.

The open plan kitchen-diner features a range of shaker-style base and wall units topped with sleek black worktops and includes a Rangemaster cooker and integrated dishwasher. The adjoining utility room provides additional storage, space for white goods and access to the side of the property. Through French doors the kitchen area flows into a generous sitting room, where a vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace with wood burner create an airy and welcoming space from which the garden room can be accessed. Warm and inviting, the garden room is the perfect spot to settle down with a book and take in views of the pretty rear garden, and features a wood burning stove to cosy up to in the winter months.

The principal suite, situated at the rear of the property, is light and bright with triple aspect windows, and provides a tranquil, relaxing space with a glass door opening onto the rear garden. It benefits from built-in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. A generous second double bedroom has an additional dressing area which could accommodate an occasional bed or other furniture. It is next to the modern family bathroom with a shower over the bath and a separate cloak room. A handy door from the hall leads directly into the double garage which has potential for conversion (subject to consents).

Tucked well back on its plot, secluded behind trees and shrubs, the front of the property is private and provides parking for several vehicles. Bordered by hedges, a lawned area wraps around the side of the property and includes several raised beds. The beautifully landscaped rear garden is laid to lawn, with a sprinkling of shrubs and flower beds, while a pergola frames a paved pathway to a seating area with plenty of space for a table and chairs. On the other side of the property there is a shed and pedestrian access to the driveway.
