8 bedroom house

With rendered and painted walls and a tiled roof, Marsh House is an attractive and impressive modern house situated off a narrow lane that enters open countryside just 150 yards further on down the lane. Its slightly elevated position and design ensures that its principal reception rooms and five of its seven bedrooms have wonderful views across 20 miles of unspoilt, open countryside towards notable landmarks such as King Alfred's Tower, Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills. The house has been the much-loved family home of
the current owners for the past fifteen years and during their tenure has been renovated and improved throughout. These improvements have included linking the house to the garage block to create a good-sized gym/home office from half of the available garaging space with two bedrooms above (one en suite and one with an adjacent shower room). These two bedrooms are accessed via a separate staircase from the sitting room thereby enabling a self-contained annexe to be created if required.

The house is beautifully presented with extensive use of oak throughout for all internal joinery and most of the flooring. The house has three well-proportioned reception rooms including a large drawing room, well-lit by natural light and floored in reclaimed French oak with an open fireplace and French windows opening onto the terrace. The L-shaped kitchen/dining room and the adjacent laundry room. which also serves as a second kitchen, are fitted with bespoke units made from pippy or cat's paw oak, stone work surfaces and a range of electrical appliances.

On the first floor of the main part of the house are four double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, a further single bedroom, family shower room and family bathroom with a separate walk-in shower. On the second floor is the principal bedroom suite which has an en suite shower room, walk-in dressing room and sliding French windows onto a roof terrace with a wonderful 270° countryside view.

Marsh House is approached through electric gates and a short approach drive to a paved parking area in front of the house with space for eight to ten cars. On one side is a large, integral single garage and an archway leading to a wide path through to the rear garden. On the far side of the parking area is a stand of mixed woodland with a line of evergreen trees providing total privacy. The woodland contains a summerhouse and is under-planted with flowering shrubs and spring bulbs. To the rear of the house is a paved terrace fringed with a summerhouse and raised shrub borders and which has ample space for outside entertaining and a site for a hot tub. Extending out from the terrace is a level lawn with a large timber outbuilding in one corner that incorporates two home offices with a garden tool and machinery store between them. Beyond the lawn is a small paddock/arboretum planted with a variety of colourful,
broadleaf trees. The garden is bounded on one side by close-boarded fencing and on the other two sides by mature hedging. In all the garden and grounds extend to about 0.79 acre (0.31 hectare).
