In the highly sought after village of Pilton, being famous for the Glastonbury Festival, along with its welcoming community and great range of village facilities, this individually designed and bespoke built home comes to market for the first time. With a generous range of outbuildings and offering further potential for annexes, homeworking or Airbnb accommodation, a paddock and orchard in all extending to 1.15 acres, this home will provide a huge lifestyle or equestrian appeal. EPC Band D.
Having been built by the owners for their own occupation in 2000, this skilfully constructed village home blends modern build standards and high insulation levels with a welcoming character feel, to include stone exterior elevations, high quality double glazed windows, flag stone floors, solid stone stairs and attractively curved window areas plus exposed brick details. The house is well laid out and planned for family living with an attractive central hallway with two reception rooms sitting to the left and giving a main principle room, including a inglenook style fire place with fitted stove and dual aspect windows and a second reception room sits alongside which provides a snug/study. The large kitchen dining room sits to the right of the hall, this provides an open area highly favoured by modern family living with ample space for sitting and a sofa, set to the side of the fireplace with a Rayburn ready to connect. The kitchen is solid wood with a work surface matching, which has a lovely story, having been reclaimed from a local stores and still showing the measuring scale for ribbon and cotton by the sink area. A separate Utility and cloakroom sit off the end of the kitchen with a covered open porch area set to the side of the house and used as the ‘working’ family access to the home.
To the first floor the landing runs the rear of the house, enabling all of the bedrooms to have a wonderful open aspect to the south over the garden, village and surrounding countryside. All three rooms are doubles and two of the bedrooms have a dual aspect. Bedroom one does appear as through it could be split to provide two bedrooms, should a family need four rooms (subject to any necessary regulations). A beautifully fitted bathroom sits off the landing and from the bath a wonderful view can be enjoyed out the window to the rear. A recess off the landing provides a useful storage space which has a timber ladder up to the loft area, with half having been plastered and floored and used as a hobby area. The remainder of the loft provides useful storage through a doorway.
The sought after village of Pilton, famous for the Glastonbury Festival, lies in a highly convenient position between the towns of Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet (close to the Bath & West Showground). Wells and Street are both within easy reach with all four towns providing a wide range of day-to-day amenities and facilities. Wells in particular enjoys stunning architecture including its beautiful Cathedral. There are good road links via the nearby A37 which leads down to the A303 and there is also good road access to nearby Castle Cary which has a direct train service to London.
The property has two vehicular access points set off the A361, one has always been used as a working access set to the east of the plot, leading to the garages and stables. A rectangular paddock runs roadside off the stables and stores, which gives a wonderful lifestyle appeal to the family home. A gate leads between this parking area and the main residential parking area which then has its own gated access up to the main road with a tarmac initial section. This provides ample parking and turning space for several vehicles. A further access way leads down the side of the double garage to a lean-to barn section, which also has workshop space under the main garage. All of these barns combined appear to offer an ideal footprint for ancillary/holiday let accommodation subject to any necessary planning consents. The main garden steps away from the house, with attractive landscaping including stone walling and seating areas, ideal for family BBQ’s and entertaining friends. A sited railway carriage is set off the first tier of garden complete with water and electricity providing a hobby space or alternatively a home office. The land then gently slopes away to the south from the house with a range of Hazel trees currently used for bee’s and chickens and as an area to encourage wildlife.
