From the parking area and garage at the rear the garden path leads to the house and glazed door into the large utility room with plumbing for washing machine and cloakroom with shower and wc.
The large kitchen is light and very well proportioned, fitted with an extensive range of pine base and wall units, gas cooker, wood flooring and walk in larder.
There is also access to a large store room that could easily be incorporated in the kitchen if required and which is also accessible from the drawing room.
The drawing room is a large dual aspect room and faces the road, a lovely feature is the full height stone open fireplace with built in hood.
From the kitchen down a couple of steps is the dining room, with a pretty stone fireplace with open fire and large window to the front.
Off the dining room and sitting room is a hall where there is access outside via the front door and the staircase leads to the first floor.
The sitting room is another well proportioned dual aspect room with a view to the garden and paddock beyond. A stone fireplace fitted with a larger wood burner adds character and warmth to this lovely room.
On the first floor there are four double bedrooms one of which has a small room off it which could easily become an en suite.
From the landing there is access via an enclosed staircase to the loft which is boarded, with excellent headroom and velux windows with views to the Mendip Hills. Currently used for storage but lends itself to additional accommodation.
Adjoining the house is a former self contained annexe which with the relevant permissions could be incorporated into the main house or reinstated as a self contained annexe possibly suitable for letting.
Outside there is a large double garage, adjoining store room with power and water and ample parking.
The terrace is bordered by a raised flowerbed, the sunny garden is lawned and incorporates a small ornamental pond.
At the far end of the garden is a five bar gate leading into the wonderful gently sloping paddock, bordered by mature trees, with a central copse and mature trees.
