eye can see, this property offers the perfect blend of tranquillity and modern
sophistication. Spanning an impressive 5, 700 square feet, this magnificent
home is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. Built by The Green Oak
Company, renowned for their exceptional attention to detail, the construction
of this residence is a testament to their expertise.
This eco - friendly residence has been thoughtfully designed with sustainability
in mind. The ground source heat pump and private water source ensure ultra - low
running costs while reducing the environmental impact. Planning permission for
solar panels is in place, further enhancing the property's green credentials.
As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a grand entrance hall that sets the
tone for the elegance and style found throughout. The interior boasts state -
of - the - art fixtures and fittings. At the heart of this exceptional residence
lies an exquisite 900 sq. Ft "Devol" kitchen, meticulously designed and
equipped with elegant and stylish fittings as well as the latest high - end
appliances and a pantry just off. The adjoining dining area is triple aspect
with panoramic views across rolling Somerset countryside.
Flanking the other side of a secluded south - facing terrace courtyard, the
drawing room is also triple aspect, with a deep, stone fireplace with log -
burner. There is a further sitting room, with stone fireplace and log - burner,
whilst a further family room provides another reception room; note that with
the original planning, this was proposed as a fifth bedroom. There is a large
guest cloakroom alongside. The utility room lies off the kitchen and has a
side door to the garden, with a plant room and further WC.
Upstairs, the galleried landing provides a spacious and light - filled area for
either play or relaxation, with fantastic views over the garden, lake and
countryside beyond. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, French doors
out to a private balcony and an en suite bathroom, also with vaulted ceiling
and a free - standing bathtub. A second bedroom similarly has a vaulted ceiling
and en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms share the family shower room.
Outside
Set within about 7. 2 acres, this property offers privacy and tranquillity. The
approach through tall stone pillars and gates is impressive, with ample
gravelled parking to the front and side of the house.
Although still maturing, the meticulously landscaped gardens provide a
picturesque backdrop, ideal for enjoying outdoor activities or simply soaking
in the beauty of nature. The owners have started to create a kitchen garden
with raised beds. The views are simply outstanding and there is a large lake
at one end of the grounds. With ample space for further landscaping, the
potential to create your own private oasis is unmatched.
There is a large modern agricultural barn measuring 60’ x 38’, whilst the
timber - framed garage has one secure bay and two open parking bays. Accessed
externally, there is an open plan studio above spanning the full length of the
