4 bedroom house

A rare opportunity to acquire a most sensational and unique house, with breath-taking and panoramic countryside views towards Glastonbury Tor, over The Levels and far beyond to the coastline. Moor View, an individual and architect-designed home, offers a quiet and secluded rural retreat, with an established Glamping business, landscaped gardens and grounds of 1.16 acres, truly everything a purchaser
could ask for. EPC rating D.

Moor View sits in arguably one of the most enviable positions on offer within the local area, nestled amongst glorious and well planned south-west facing gardens and with a paddock, currently providing a highly successful glamping business. Further outbuildings provide possible future potential, allowing Moor View to offer a delightful package for a family wishing to tweak their lifestyle or for those looking for income potential, within a rural haven. Moor View has, in recent times, undergone complete transformation, with considered attention given to the creation of flowing family spaces flooded with light and now offering a quite exceptional and unique, contemporary home. In brief, the property comprises an open plan kitchen/dining/family room with a sitting room off, a second sitting room, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor and to the first floor are, four bedrooms (master ensuite) and a family bathroom. The kitchen/dining/family room is very much the heart of the home and with the floor to ceiling triple glazed windows leading out to the garden, is a wonderful space to entertain or to sit and just take in the amazing views. The kitchen has been well fitted with high quality, solid wood bespoke units, with marble work surfaces and a useful utility is conveniently tucked away behind a sliding door and beyond this is a sitting room/family TV area, with side access and views out to the garden. The downstairs accommodation is completed with a further sitting room, which being been part of the original house, has a cosy character feel, with a log burner, exposed stone walls and beams. The original stone cottage is believed to be an old drovers cottage, set on the hillside where shepherds would have sought refuge when taking their sheep to market and dating back over 200 years. On the first floor, the contemporary continues to blend seamlessly with the older character, with the light galleried landing leading to a bedroom, with exposed timbers and stonework, part of the original house. A further three bedrooms and a family bathroom are to the other side of the landing, all with high ceilings creating a sense of space and with one, cleverly utilising this space for a mezzanine sleeping area. The Master bedroom, with ensuite shower area, is quite simply stunning and takes in the amazing panoramic views from the picture windows, a wonderful way to unwind at the end of the day. The stylish and modern family bathroom completes the first floor.

Priddy is nestled on the southern side of the Mendip Hills, approximately 5 miles to the north of Wells, an area designated as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Village facilities include two public houses, a church, farm shop and primary school. The surrounding area is well known for caving, cycling and extensive walks, and the delightful wooded nature reserve of Ebbor Gorge and stunning walks at Deerleap viewpoint are within walking distance and there is quick access to Cheddar Gorge and nearby Wookey Hole Caves. Priddy is also within commutable distance to both Bristol and Bath and is only a short drive from the Cathedral City of Wells which boasts many attractions, excellent shopping facilities and well-renowned state and private schooling.

Approached off Pelting Drove, Moor View sits within spacious and mature grounds with a beautiful coppice of trees, separating the garden from the paddock. Tucked away on the western boundary, there is a former piggery, ideal for conversion for home office/hobby space or even for ancillary accommodation (subject to planning permission) and also a very useful timber workshop with decked area, again with several potential uses. The garden is mostly enclosed by attractive stone walling and is well stocked with colourful planting interspersed with specimen trees and takes in views at every turn. There is a paved entertaining area, with feature raised pond and is directly accessed from the dining room, which seamlessly blends the two entertaining spaces, a wonderful space to take in the amazing sunsets. The paddock to the side of the property is currently used for a very successful Glamping business and has a field kitchen, composting loos and a double shower block. The paddock has full planning consent for this use and our vendors currently have two round tents and two yurts set on a raised deck. It should be noted that it would take minimal effort to clear this area, should the incoming purchaser wish to use it for livestock or other plans. The plot in all extends to 1.16 acres.
