Mells, Mells, BA11

Prospect House is a substantial detached family house which sits centrally on a 1/3 of an acre plot, backing onto open fields in a sought after part of Mells.

A five bar gate opens into a driveway bordered with Lavender and laid to stone chippings, leading to the front of the house and providing parking for several vehicles. The gardens are magnificent, having been carefully and cleverly landscaped by the current vendors.

Internally the accommodation is beautifully presented, well proportioned and naturally light. A very spacious and impressive entrance to the house creates the perfect first impression. The sitting room is a naturally light and spacious room with doors onto the gardens, doors into the garden room, space for plenty of furniture and an attractive working open fireplace taking centre stage. The kitchen/dining room is open planned and perfect for family life and indeed anybody that enjoys entertaining. There are a range of wall and base units with plenty of storage, integrated appliances, an island, room for a table and chairs and views across the gardens. Off the kitchen is a separate utility room, a W.C and access into the integral garage which provides excellent accessible storage and could be incorporated to further accommodation, subject to the usual consents. There is also a large study and a second downstairs W.C off the main entrance hall.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom is a particularly impressive space with dual aspect windows, an en-suite shower room and a large dressing room/walk in wardrobe area that could suit a variety of uses. The three remaining bedrooms are all double in size and enjoy views across the gardens over to the land immediately behind the house. The family bathroom is an excellent size and includes a bath and separate shower.

A paradise for the green fingered. The garden surrounds the house on all sides and is laid to lawn with various large borders and a raised bed running along the large south facing sandstone patio which provides a wonderful spot to entertain and for al-fresco dining in the warmer weather. Planting has been designed to ensure interest and colour throughout as much of the year as possible, including a lavender lined gravel driveway.

There is a greenhouse with light, power and automatic vents.
