Tucked away in a truly special setting within the Mendip Hills (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), this magnificent five-bedroom detached home offers the perfect mix of space, seclusion, and scenic views. Set on an impressive circa 1.6 acre plot, the property is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, mature grounds, and a tiered paddock — ideal for nature lovers, families, or anyone seeking a peaceful outdoor lifestyle.

The home itself is brimming with charm and character, with three generous reception rooms that flow seamlessly yet offer distinct spaces for relaxing, entertaining, or working from home. Every room has a sense of warmth and personality, from cosy corners to light-filled spaces that bring the outside in.
A real bonus is the versatile one-bedroom annexe — perfect for visiting guests, independent family members, or to create a self-contained office or creative studio. This flexible addition brings huge potential to adapt the home to your lifestyle needs.
