DESCRIPTION Sitting comfortably on a corner plot in an elevated position overlooking the Cathedral and Glastonbury Tor beyond is this well presented three/four bedroom period property. The property has the benefit of full planning permission for a side extension to create a separate two bedroom dwelling (if required).
On the ground floor is a spacious sitting room full of period features including stripped wooden doors, a fireplace with open fire, alcoves and picture rails. French doors lead out from the sitting room to the front garden. The kitchen/dining/family room has been recently fitted to a high standard with cream cupboards, integrated dishwasher, fridge, oven and hob. There is plenty of room for a dining table and seating area/study. From the kitchen a door leads to a further room which is currently being used as an occasional fourth bedroom and utility area. French doors lead out onto the patio area. A downstairs WC can also be accessed from this room.
From the entrance hall, stairs lead up to the first floor. The master bedroom has a dedicated dressing area and en-suite shower room. A further double bedroom leads from the landing and is bright and spacious with a large window offering views of Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury Tor. There is also a generous single bedroom, again with views and a large 'overstairs' store cupboard. The family bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC.
OUTSIDE To the front of the property is a paved driveway leading to a generous single garage. The garage has a remote control 'up and over' door and benefits from light, power and a separate side entrance. A path leads around the side of the garage to the front gate. Steps lead up to the garden which wraps around the house on three sides. The garden is enclosed by wooden fencing, has a wooden shed and is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. To the rear of the property is a patio area which benefits from the evening sun, perfect for al fresco dining.
PLANNING PERMISSION The property has full planning permission, granted in October 2015, for a two bedroom extension to the side to provide a separate dwelling. Please visit www.mendip.gov.uk to view the plans. Planning reference:2015/2382/FUL
