5 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION An attractive period farmhouse that was imaginatively remodelled and rebuilt to an exceptionally high standard about seven years ago. What has been created is a sophisticated but traditional style home with all of the modern adornments you would expect in a house of this quality and all superbly finished with large hand cut oak beams, bespoke oak joinery and oak detailing with slate and limestone flooring. Set on the Mendip Hills on the edge of the Chew Valley, this versatile family home has five bedrooms and five bathrooms. Standing in substantial gardens and grounds of just under 2 acres, the property benefits from superb countryside views 

THE ACCOMODATION The centre of the home is the impressive living space that is full of natural light from the large, glazed windows which provide views to the gardens and the countryside beyond. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of hand-made cabinets with granite work surface, a traditional cream four oven 'Aga' and this is complimented by a large 'Falcon' range cooker with LPG gas hob and electric oven. There is a breakfast seating area, living space and a formal dining area with room for a very large dining table and entertaining space. The dining area benefits from a glazed lantern and has a roof terrace above. A separate living room overlooks the front gardens with exposed stonework, duplex wood burning stove and a slate tiled floor. On the other side of the entrance hall is a ground floor bedroom with en suite wet room.
The utility area has a stone sink and granite work surface which leads to a further wet room and a plant room. This houses the very well organized and efficient equipment required to run the house. There is a ground source heat pump, water softener, Cat 5 network cabling throughout, fire and smoke alarms and a 4kv photovoltaic system. Fibre broadband is also connected.
An impressive floating stainless steel and slate staircase rises to a galleried landing with glazed balcony. The master bedroom suite has large, glazed elevations overlooking the rear gardens with a vaulted ceiling, oak beams, and mezzanine storage area, an en-suite wet room and a walk-in dressing room. Bedroom two also has an en-suite and there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. Above the dining room and accessed from the landing a roof terrace and seating area provides superb countryside views.
