**Guide Price £575, 000** On the market for the first time in 100 years, this
delightful three bedroom detached property on the edge of the Mendip Hills
currently with 2 acres of land now requires modernising and updating to create
a wonderful family home.
About the property:
Armadale is a stone built detached double fronted period property with three
reception rooms, three bedrooms, cellar, sun room, outbuildings and garages,
with approximately 2 acres of land divided into three paddocks two of which
fall with the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Requiring a
programme of modernisation, the property has recently had gas installed to the
boundary, ready for the new owner to update the heating system.
About the inside:
The front door opens into a generous hallway, with reception rooms to each
side. The two front reception rooms have large bay windows with original
decorative coloured glazing, open fireplaces, high ceilings and picture rails.
The fitted kitchen offers plenty of cupboards and space for an electric stove.
Opposite the kitchen is the dining room with the woodburning stove and back
boiler providing heating and hot water for the property. A window looks out
onto the fully glazed sun room. Doors from here lead into a workshop and
garage on one side, and a utility room with WC on the other.
Upstairs, three good sized bedrooms, one with an additional room that could be
used as an office or dressing room, share a bathroom with a separate shower
cubicle with access to the large loft. The principal bedroom enjoys french
doors onto the covered balcony to the front of the property.
About the outside:
The garage to the left of the property opens into a useful workshop, which in
turn opens into the rear sunroom. The garage to the right has driveway parking
in front, and doors into additional store rooms. A door also leads into the
rear courtyard with access to an outside W. C. The courtyard itself is
surrounded by high stone walls with stone steps leading up the the first of
three paddocks.
Currently approximately 2 acres of land, previously used for growing
strawberries and vegetables, is divided into three paddocks, two of which are
within the Mendip Hills area of outstanding natural beauty (aonb). There are
water tanks, and possibly pipework from the house, and a small field shelter.
The land has stunning views across the countryside and bordered by hedges and
low stone walls. Access is shared with neighbouring properties from the road.
About the area:
Draycott is well known for being a strawberry producing area, and the village
is close to Cheddar and Wells. The city of Wells offers a range of shopping
facilities including a high proportion of independent shops and boutiques,
banks, restaurants, public houses, cinema and churches. The stunning market
square holds a farmer’s market on Wednesday and Saturday.
The nearby Georgian city of Bath and the regional centre of Bristol are also
within good commuting distance, while Castle Cary Station with links to London
Paddington and Exeter is a 12 mile drive away. Bristol International Airport
is 17 miles away.
