5 bedroom house

An outstanding, redesigned, extended and fully renovated 5 bedroom detached property set in grounds of more than half an acre with stunning living accommodation in the highly desirable village of Butleigh, close to Millfield School. EPC Rating C.

We are delighted to offer this completely renovated, vastly extended and beautifully presented 5 bedroom detached home set on the exclusive Barton Road in the highly desirable village of Butleigh. In brief the accommodation comprises an entrance hall, WC, study, family room, bedroom with ensuite, kitchen/living room, dining room and utility room and further WC to the ground floor with four bedrooms (two ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. The Paddock has undergone a complete transformation in recent years to now offer luxury, modern day living at its very best. The footprint of the property will prove an exciting proposition to any buyer with an entirely versatile layout to suit everyone’s needs. Perhaps the most impressive room is the kitchen/living room which will be the envy of any guest. For those that love to host gatherings for friends and family it is the ultimate entertaining space. The doors open out directly onto the gardens and seamlessly blend the inside with out and with features including a stylish island with breakfast bar and beautifully fitted units. The current dining room, with dual aspect and its own access out the garden could easily become a sitting room and the family room and study are interchangeable as bedrooms should one wish. All the bedrooms are spacious doubles and with three benefitting from ensuite facilities it is an incredibly functional home for large families. What is evident throughout is the amount of thought and detail that has gone into this renovation project to make it a truly special, welcoming and attractive home. It will prove highly appealing to families, particularly those with children at Millfield, and those looking for idyllic village life.

The highly sought after village of Butleigh lies in a particularly convenient location for quick road access to both Street and Glastonbury (home to both Millfield senior and prep schools). The lively village centre has a shop, village hall, public house and primary school. There are also cricket and rugby clubs. National communications are available via the main line railway station at Castle Cary which connects directly to London Paddington and the A303 is also within easy striking distance to the south. The beautiful Cathedral city of Wells is approximately 20 minutes’ drive, home to Wells Cathedral School together with a fine range of amenities and facilities including Waitrose supermarket.

The Paddock is set in over half an acre of grounds and is approached via a private driveway giving access to off-road parking for numerous cars and a stone-built outhouse. Wooden gates lead to manicured lawns and a central gravel pathway leading to the main entrance. There is side access to the rear gardens from either side of the property. The main grounds lie to the rear and are made up of a large patio area, perfect for alfresco dining and sweeping lawns, complemented by mature shrubs and trees. It has the luxury of backing onto open fields and is incredibly private - the perfect setting for child’s play and entertaining friends and family. The current owners have also erected a fabulous and detached outbuilding which is currently utilised as a games room/bar and study but would suit a number of uses depending on one’s needs. There is also an Astro play area to the side of the property which shall appeal to younger families.
