4 bed bungalow for sale

Between Mells And Holcombe, Somerset BA3

Waterlea has been a much-loved home to the current owner for over 35 years, it was built in 1960 by the previous owner, and has never been for sale on the open market so it presents a very special opportunity!

The property benefits from versatile and spacious accommodation, which is primarily lateral; and requires updating throughout.

On the ground floor you have a good selection of reception rooms which include the living room with fabulous views over the grounds and out to the surrounding countryside, which then leads into the sun room, which opens out onto a terrace and the formal lawns. There is also the dining room, family room, and the garden room which leads out to a large balcony which spans the width of the house, and down to two tiered terraces. Beyond this you have the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms, and two bathrooms – one of which features a fun pink and floral design. There is also a cloakroom.

On the first floor is an office which could be used as a fifth bedroom, a shower room and the utility room.

The property is approached onto a private driveway leading up to a turning circle, there is plentiful parking for multiple vehicles, in addition to the double garage.

The gardens and grounds are a superb feature, comprising large formal lawned gardens, and entertaining terraces at the upper levels; with an orchard, woodland, and meadow sloping down to a lake, which is currently used as a release site for birds by the rspca West Hatch
Animal Centre.

There is a tennis court, and a large disused swimming pool complex which could be reinstated, transformed into a beautiful walled garden, or converted, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

In all approximately 10.63 acres. EPC: E.
