About this property

An individual and wonderfully intriguing detached home, occupying a substantial and exceptionally private plot within the popular Polden village of Chilton Polden and offering the increasingly rare combination of generous existing accommodation and genuine scope to create something quite special. The property has a distinctive architectural character, with its origins evident in the extensive use of timber, exposed beams, open-tread staircase and large areas of glazing. There is something almost retro in its design, yet the fundamental ingredients remain extremely relevant to modern living: excellent natural light, generous rooms, a strong relationship with the garden and an adaptable layout that could be approached in several different ways. The extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing is particularly noticeable throughout the principal living areas.

Key features

A highly individual four-bedroom detached home occupying a substantial, mature plot, offering generous accommodation and an exciting opportunity for modernisation and further enhancement.
Set centrally within its grounds, the property enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy, with established gardens wrapping around three sides and little sense of neighbouring homes.
The wonderfully light ground floor is characterised by extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing, creating a strong connection between the principal living spaces and the surrounding gardens.
A spacious principal reception room forms the heart of the home, complemented by adjoining dining and kitchen areas and offering considerable flexibility in how the accommodation is arranged.
Three particularly generous double bedrooms are joined by a fourth single bedroom, with extensive fitted storage and a more recently updated family bathroom serving the first floor.
A striking open-tread staircase and large picture window are distinctive features of the interior, with the elevated position providing far-reaching views towards the Mendip Hills.
Outside, extensive lawns, mature planting, high hedging, fencing and an attractive natural stone wall combine to create wonderfully established and secluded surroundings.
The substantial plot provides enormous potential to enlarge or reconfigure the existing house, subject to the necessary consents, alongside a garage, stores and ample parking.
