DESCRIPTION Narramore House is a well-appointed four bedroom family residence with land and stables set in a popular village on the outskirts of Wells. The house has been improved and upgraded by the current owner in recent months to create versatile living accommodation with lapsed planning permission granted for a two storey two bedroom annex.

To the first floor is a spacious landing area leading to all four double bedrooms and family bathroom. The master suite is a large dual aspect room with a storage cupboard and newly fitted ensuite with shower, toilet, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. The three further double bedrooms all have beautiful views over the land and gardens with one also having a newly fitted ensuite shower room and another having the benefit of being dual aspect. Two storage cupboards can accessed from the landing area along with the family bathroom which comprises of a bath with shower above, toilet heated towel rail and wash hand basin.

Planning permission was granted in 2015 for a two storey front extension to the house which would allow the current garage and snug to be amalgamated into a large living room, it has now lapsed but should be straight forward to re-instate. This would give access to an inner hallway with its own separate access outside, a further living room and garage would then be built with the garage accessed from the outside. A new staircase would lead to two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Planning reference: 2015/1008/HSE).
