Bedrooms: 4
An idyllically situated four bedroom detached house, set in 1.73 acres and enjoying the most magnificent rural views, taking in Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury Tor. The property includes a series of useful outbuildings and extensive off-road parking. Available with no onward chain. EPC rating D.
A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance porch with an inner door through to the hall. The hall incorporates the staircase to the first floor with a storage cupboard beneath and gives access to a downstairs WC.
The property has two reception rooms, a family room and a sitting room, both of which are dual-aspect and benefit from plenty of natural light. The main sitting room is particularly spacious and includes a central fireplace with a 'Villager' wood burning stove.
Across the hall is the kitchen/dining room, which is also dual-aspect, with double glazed windows to the front and rear. The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units and includes an integrated electric oven and hob plus a superb Esse solid fuel stove. There is plenty of space within the kitchen for a dresser and a good size table and chairs. A door from the kitchen then leads into a useful utility room, offering space and plumbing for a washing machine, an additional sink unit and access into a rear boot room, which houses a Worcester boiler for the oil-fired central heating (approx. 3 years old).
On the first floor, the landing has built-in storage and a hatch to the loft space. There are four bedrooms upstairs, all of which have the advantage of spectacular, far-reaching countryside views. Two of the double bedrooms are dual-aspect and the master benefits from an en-suite shower room. Completing the accommodation is a well-appointed family bathroom with half-height tiling, fitted with a suite comprising a panelled bath, a low level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin and a separate shower cubicle.
OUTSIDE
Set within a generous plot measuring 1.73 acres, the property is ideal for families, green-fingered purchasers and those wishing to keep animals.
The grounds are predominantly laid to grass with a hedge, wall and stock-proof enclosure. A gated driveway to the side of the house provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles. The property has various outbuildings providing excellent storage and possible scope for alternative uses in the future (subject to gaining any necessary consents). The range of outbuildings comprises an attractive workshop, a covered tractor shed and a large barn with a series of inner stalls.
Launcherley is a small hamlet located 2.5 miles south of the Cathedral City of Wells, with some superb rural walks and open countryside close by.
Wells is renowned for its beautiful architecture, including the Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace. England's smallest city, Wells contains many clubs and societies for those wishing to get involved in the thriving local community. There are excellent shopping facilities, a bustling High Street with both independent and well-known retailers, as well as various major supermarkets, including Waitrose.
Wells also benefits from a busy, twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square. In addition, there is a large bus/coach station providing links to other parts of the West Country. Bristol and Bath are readily accessible, as is Castle Cary to the south which has the nearest mainline train station to London Paddington (approx. 1 hour 40 mins).
There are excellent schooling options, both state and independent, in and around the area. The property is conveniently located within easy travelling distance of Wells Blue School, the local secondary school.
