Wells Road, Wookey Hole

Property Description: Guide Price: £500,000 - £550,000. Nestled in the Mendip Hills between the historic village of Wookey Hole and the ancient city of Wells, this three bedroom detached bungalow with converted outbuilding and countryside views is ideal for those looking for the perfect combination of rural outlook and convenience of being close to Wells.

A stand out feature of this property is the windows and French Doors that adjoin both the kitchen/dining room and the sitting room. West facing you can view the most stunning sunsets from either the house or from the deck. This property is well presented and doesn't require any updating but does have potential to extend upwards to create a large family home, subject to the usual planning consents.

Through the part glazed front door at the side of the property, there is a central hallway with engineered oak flooring that provides access to all areas of the house. The oak flooring continues into the dual aspect kitchen/dining room which has granite worktops, a breakfast bar and integrated appliances including a Neff "hide 'n' slide" oven, microwave, Bosch induction hob with an extractor fan above and a dishwasher. Adjoined to the kitchen is the generous sized sitting room which has a gas fire with an exposed beam surround. Both the kitchen/dining room and the sitting room are beautifully light and bright due to the large west facing glass French doors that open out onto decked stairs leading down to the garden and terrace area. Off the hallway is a WC and a utility room with a sink and space for a washer and a dryer.

Off the central hallway are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower over the bath. The principal bedroom has double built in wardrobes and overlooks the back garden and countryside beyond. Although the property is currently single storey, there is potential to extend upwards to create a large family home giving views out the back onto open countryside.

The property comes with a detached outbuilding which has been converted into a studio/office on one side and has the garage on the other. The converted studio is currently used as a therapy room and has its own lobby and WC making it the perfect work from home space or small business office.

Outside: At the front of the property, there is a large parking area, with space for up to four cars, that sits in front of the detached outbuilding. The front metal gates open onto steps with beautiful lavender bushes that lead around the edge of the garden and house up to the front door. There is a pretty front garden, mostly laid to lawn, with plenty of planting and shrubbery.

A double staircase with understairs storage leads from the open plan kitchen/sitting room down to a decked terrace area with a pergola, perfect for outdoor dining, and an adjacent gravelled terrace area with steps that lead down to the lawn area. The roof of the outbuilding is level with the garden and has the potential to be turned into a large terrace area.

At the rear of the property, there is a terrace area with a wooden shed and another pretty garden, again mostly laid to lawn with more shrubbery and planting as well as a fruit tree. Beyond the rear garden is beautiful open countryside.

Location: This property is located in the countryside between the village of Wookey Hole and the city of Wells. Primarily known for its extensive and historic limestone caves, the popular tourist destination of Wookey Hole is less than half a mile from the property and is rich in both natural beauty and folklore. There is a popular pub, a village club and a church as well as the famous Wookey Hole Caves which centres around the famous local legend of the Witch of Wookey Hole and offers a wide range of family-friendly tourist attractions including a dinosaur park, a mirror maze, and a 4D cinema.
