Brinscombe, Weare, Axbridge, BS26

Close to Axbridge and Cheddar in a rural farming community, this beautifully presented 4/5-bedroom contemporary home in an elevated position, offers the opportunity of keeping your own pony in the acre hillside paddock.

The stylish and thoughtful refurbishment throughout this home, with its clean, modern colour palette and warm wood flooring and doors, makes for a very seductive interior. The kitchen looks out to the front of the property and has light flooding in on two sides with far-reaching views to the Mendips. It is fitted with modern sleek wall and base units; a bespoke, circular breakfast bar; integrated appliances; an Aga; and plenty of storage. There has been no compromise on space in this property, which is evident from the entrance hall through to the reception rooms, linked by beautiful oak flooring. The sitting room benefits from French doors opening out to the orchard to the side and views of the hills from the windows to the front. There is a feature log burner set in an exposed stone chimney breast with wood mantle. The dining room offers space for a large dining table and other furniture, and there are French doors which can be thrown open in good weather to extend this sociable space out onto the suntrap of a patio. Also, on the ground floor, is a cloakroom and a utility with access to the garage and rear patio. All four bedrooms, and fifth bedroom/study, are upstairs. The fabulous principal suite has a vaulted ceiling, dual aspect windows, an ensuite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. The other bedrooms all share a modern, beautifully finished bathroom. There is loft access from the landing and further storage in the eaves and in built-in wardrobes in the second bedroom. The property is warmed by oil central heating and it is double glazed throughout.

Outside

Nestled in the hillside in Brinscombe, set on its own plot with gardens, orchard and paddock, this house enjoys amazing views across the countryside to the Mendips beyond. A driveway leads up to the property and provides ample space to park multiple vehicles and accesses the double garage, where there is scope to convert into a single or double storey annexe (subject to consents). There is access to the paddock, situated behind the house, and to the stable block which also offers renovation potential. A Mediterranean style seating and entertaining area is a sun trap and spans the rear of the house.
