The House

The main property is accessed from the front through a uPVC & tiled porch which leads into the carpeted entrance hall. To the left is the sitting room – a light, dual aspect room with a pleasant outlook over a neighbouring paddock. To the right of the hall is the bar, carpeted and still hosting the bar itself from the property’s former time as a hotel. Short steps lead down to a very handy office area, which leads back through to the hallway, which benefits from a cloakroom with WC and hand basin. A door from the hallway connects through to the former restaurant and a further door leads through into the kitchen; a generous space laid to tiles and fitted with a wide range of modern wall and base units with wood-effect worktops and tiled splashbacks over, 5-ring electric range with chimney hood over, one-and-a-half stainless steel sink with drainer, breakfast bar, and hosting ample room for a dining table. A cupboard hosts the oil fired boiler, a secondary door leads through to the former restaurant and a further door heads out into the generous utility, with base units and worktops over, space and plumbing for appliances and a stainless steel sink with drainer. A uPVC door provides access to the rear of the property.

Carpeted stairs rise from the hallway to the spacious first floor landing, which benefits from a large airing cupboard, and provides access to all five double bedrooms. To the rear of the main house is the dual aspect master – an extremely generous room with dressing area and en-suite with bath, WC and pedestal basin, all within a self-contained ‘suite’. Bedroom two sits at the front of the home and also enjoys an en-suite with shower, WC & hand basin. Bedroom five previously hosted an en-suite, whilst bedrooms three and four are further generous rooms. The master bathroom features bath, WC and hand basin.

The Flat

Accessed internally from the main house landing, or externally from the rear of the property, Sedgmoor House enjoys a self-contained 2-bedroom 1st floor flat offering a superb annexe. The flat features a good sized sitting room with large bay window offering a pleasant outlook over neighbouring paddocks and the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worktops and tiled splashbacks over, 4-ring electric hob with oven under, stainless steel sink with drainer and ample room for a small table. Both bedrooms would fit double beds, with the master benefiting from an en-suite shower room with WC, in addition to a family bathroom with suite of bath, WC and pedestal basin.

The Restaurant

Owing to its former use as a hotel, Sedgemoor House boasts a c. 400sq.ft room previously used as the restaurant. The room is accessible from both the main hall and kitchen, but also from the rear of the property, allowing for the space to be incorporated into the main residence or separated into a stand-alone entity, with plumbing in the form of cloakrooms with WC and hand basin available at both ends. The space offers the perfect opportunity to run a business from home, with showroom and office space, or be converted into additional ancillary accommodation.
