King Alfreds Way, Wedmore, BS28

A beautifully renovated and extended, four-bedroom detached home, with open-plan living space, garden studio, double garage, and driveway on a quiet cul-de-sac, close to village amenities.

Imagination and artistic flair have elevated this home from a standard four-bedroom family house to a sumptuous and peaceful home. It is decorated in an enticing contemporary colour palette, complemented by anthracite grey window frames, feature radiators, and tile and wood-effect flooring. It features a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining room and living room with lantern roof light, tri-fold doors and French doors which open out onto a lovely, south-easterly facing, landscaped garden.

The kitchen features an extensive range of Magnet wall and base units with contrasting quartz worktops and integrated dishwasher, a Smeg American-style fridge/freezer, Smeg range-style cooker, and a peninsular breakfast bar provides additional seating. An adjoining utility room and a laundry room offer space for further appliances and more storage. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the light and bright dining area, with lantern light roof windows, trifold doors across the back and French doors to the side which open out to extend the sociable entertaining area into the garden. There is ample space here for a large dining table and chairs, other furniture and comfortable seating. Open to the dining room is a more intimate, cosier sitting room with a feature fireplace, and a wall-mounted television with surround sound speakers. A satisfying circular flow through the reception rooms and kitchen also connects the entrance hall where there is a cloakroom and understairs storage.

The four bedrooms are upstairs. The principal suite benefits from a wall of fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. Two further double bedrooms, each with their own character and style, also have built-in storage. They share an elegant, family bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in shower, wash-hand basin and WC. A smaller fourth bedroom is currently used as a dressing room.

Outside, the pretty, south-east facing rear garden is a tranquil space, cleverly designed with entertaining and relaxation in mind. The lawn is bordered by well-stocked flower beds interspersed with decorative shrubs and trees providing texture, privacy and shade. Surrounded by a picket fence, the picturesque kitchen garden has productive raised beds and shingle walkways. A versatile garden studio, which has been a sociable party space, could also be a home gym, an office, or simply used for storage. At the front of the house, a driveway provides parking for a couple of vehicles and access to the double garage.

A bank of 16 owned solar panels, linked to the hot water system, reduce energy costs.
