Property description
An exceptional four bedroom period cottage with a stunning contemporary interior, separate one bedroom annexe and a large rear garden backing onto open countryside, positioned on the outskirts of the sought after village of Priddy, near Wells, with far reaching views.
About the property:
Allen’s House is an attractive stone double fronted period cottage that has been extended and transformed into a modern four bedroom family home with a generous open plan kitchen/dining room opening into a wonderful sun room to the rear. A separate annexe, converted from an outbuilding, is ideal for visiting relatives or additional holiday let income. A traditional dry stone wall contains the front lawns and paved parking area, and a beautiful wisteria climbs over the front door, whilst the rear garden has been landscaped to provide sheltered seating, vegetable beds and a wild area. Glorious far reaching views across Priddy and the Somerset countryside can be enjoyed from the bedrooms.
About the inside:
A cheery red front door welcomes you into a generous entrance hall, with slate floors warmed by underfloor heating. To the left is a cosy dual aspect sitting room with a woodburning stove as a focal point. The room is big enough to include a study area at one end, with double glazed windows allowing plenty of natural light. The slate floors in the entrance hall extend into the stunning triple aspect contemporary kitchen/dining room. This fantastic space has been extended and transformed and features a marble topped island incorporating a double oven, induction hob and wine fridge. White shaker style units with black granite worktops with double Belfast sink wrap around the island and lead into the utility room. Skylights flood the room with natural light, and internal windows look into the sun room. The dining area enjoys a woodburning stove and views over the front garden. Beyond the kitchen the vaulted ceiling of the spacious sunroom has several skylights, and bi-fold doors open the space to the terrace beyond.
Upstairs, there are three well proportioned double bedrooms on the first floor, one with an en-suite shower room, and the family bathroom. On the second floor, a spacious principal bedroom spans the full width of the property with skylights and two dormer windows to make the most of the far reaching views. An en-suite shower room sits at one end, next to a useful study nook.
About the annexe:
A stone outbuilding has been converted into a smart and simple annexe, with an open plan kitchen/dining/living room to the front, with a double bedroom and en-suite shower room to the rear. The annexe has been a successful holiday let in the past, but is currently used for visiting family and friends, and therefore offers a range of future opportunities.
About the outside:
Allen’s House is set back from the lane bordered by a dry stone wall. A wrought iron gate opens onto a gravelled path leading across the lawn to the front door, attractively framed by a mature wisteria. A paved parking area sits in front of the annexe, which is accessed via stone steps. A side gate leads round to the rear garden which includes an expansive lawn bordered by mature hedges, trees and stone walls. A generous paved terrace with timber pergola offers a sheltered seating area, ideal for al fresco dining, and has wide steps down to the sun room. The far end of the garden has been re-wilded and has raised vegetable beds and timber potting shed.
