An individual detached house, tucked away in an elevated position, enjoying the most spectacular, far-reaching views. This superb home has been in the same family since its construction in the 1970's. Now requiring some modernisation, the property offers split-level accommodation including three to four bedrooms, two reception rooms and two bathrooms. Outside, there are generous gardens and ample parking. No onward chain. EPC rating D.
A door to the front of the property opens into a central hall, which incorporates staircases to the split-level accommodation (first and lower ground floors), as well as doors into the sitting room and the kitchen.
On the lower ground floor, a further hall includes two built-in cupboards, one of which houses the boiler for the gas-fired central heating (serviced June 2024) and a water softener. There is an external door to the side pathway from this lower ground floor hall, as well as access into two rooms. A shower/utility room, which adjoins a bedroom that could equally be used as a home office, if desired. The main sitting room is comfortable in size, dual-aspect and includes a part-vaulted ceiling and a large stone fireplace with an inset wood burning stove. Behind, there is a dining room, which has a window to the rear and side and glazed double doors opening through to the kitchen. Currently fitted with a range of floor and wall units, the kitchen includes a double sink unit and an integrated eye-level electric oven and hob with an extractor over. There is direct access out to the rear garden from the kitchen.
On the upper level, the property has three bedrooms; two generous dual-aspect doubles and a single.
Completing the accommodation is the tiled family bathroom, which has a suite comprising a low-level WC, a wash hand basin, a panelled bath and a separate shower cubicle.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a stone-chipped driveway, which provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles. Steps then lead up from the driveway to a patio terrace at the front of the property, which is the perfect spot for outdoor seating to take in the most spectacular, far-reaching views across the county and beyond. The terrace, which includes an awning at the front, then wraps around the southern side of the house and around to the rear. To the front of the property is an area of established enclosed garden laid to lawn and mature shrubs, which slopes down to the parking area.
At the back of the house, the patio continues to provide a level and secluded seating area, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Within this area are two useful sheds providing excellent storage. Beyond, a large area of lawn then rises to the top of the plot with steps elevating to one side. In the top left hand corner of the garden is an attractive timber outbuilding with potential to serve as an office, formerly used as a workshop and benefits from having power. The garden to the rear incorporates a further patio seating area towards the top, making the most of the views from a higher level.
The market town of Glastonbury is known for the Tor - its most iconic landmark. Steeped in history, medieval Glastonbury is a designated conservation area that clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey. The town offers a wide variety of amenities with a bustling High Street, an eclectic variety of independent shops, as well as two major supermarkets and other well-known branded stores.
There is schooling to cater for infants through to secondary, with higher education available at nearby Strode College in Street. The adjoining town of Street offers a wider variety of amenities and facilities from its ever-popular outlet shopping centre, Clarks Village and the cathedral city of Wells lies some six miles away. Transport links are excellent with easy access to the M5 approx. 15 miles distant and at Castle Cary mainline trains run to London Paddington in under two hours.
