Mudgley Road, Wedmore, BS28

Perched on the hillside above Wedmore, enjoying spectacular views, this substantial, handsome, modern six-bedroom home with double garage, combines the character of its beautiful stone façade and arched windows with the thoughtful design of its well-proportioned, open-plan rooms.

Ashmore is light and spacious throughout with large windows making the most of the stunning panoramic views across to the Mendips. There is no compromise on space, from the entrance hall to the attic bedroom and all the reception rooms and double bedrooms in between, offering plenty of options for any busy family to spread out and find their own space or come together in the sociable hub of the home in the kitchen/breakfast room, or relax in the extensive sitting room and adjoining library. The kitchen is fitted with sleek white wall and base units with contrasting quartz work surfaces and a central island, with ample remaining space for a breakfast table and chairs. Integrated appliances include a Neff hob, double and single oven, microwave, dishwasher. There is further storage and space for appliances in the adjoining boot room and utility/cloakroom.

The dining room and sitting room are flooded with natural light from large bay windows. These two rooms flow one into the other, creating a large sociable entertaining space but allowing for some separation of use. Double glazed doors swing open from the sitting room into a tranquil library which is fitted with floor to ceiling bookshelves and has attractive arched windows with shutters. Also on the ground floor there is a room, currently used as a home office, which could be transformed into a double bedroom as there is a bathroom adjacent.

There are four double bedrooms on the first floor. The enviable principal bedroom benefits from a beautiful ensuite bathroom with free-standing bath and large shower cubicle, and a walk-in wardrobe. The second bedroom has ensuite shower room and built-in wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms both have built-in storage and share a spacious bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower. A spiral staircase rises to the second floor where there is an attic bedroom, ensuite bathroom, and access to eaves storage.

Outside, a tarmac driveway provides parking for a couple of cars to the side of the house, and a five-bar gate opens onto driveway at the rear of the house, providing further parking for multiple vehicles and access to the double garage. Paved terraces and pathways encircle the house framed by landscaped, tiered gardens on two sides, interspersed with well-stocked flower beds providing colour and texture. The thoughtful garden design creates seating areas which make the most of the fabulous views and the sunshine.
