Location

Compton Bishop is one of the best know secrets of the County. It's off a no through road and thereby has virtually no traffic other than the fortunate few local inhabitants. There's a network of more than 13 miles of well-used public footpaths, bridleways and permissive paths which provide a wonderful variety of routes with Crook Peak and Wavering Down dominating the sky-line. This area of The Mendip Hills is owned and cared for by the National Trust and provides peace and tranquility for the few homes scattered amongst the small fields surrounding the Church. For those needing sustenance there's a good pub in the nearby village of Cross.

Ground Floor.

Ground Floor
The front door opens into a reception hall with flagstones, a large cloaks cupboard and the main staircase. Leading off is a family room with a wood burning stove and 2 double sets of French doors to the garden and again flagstones. An archway with double doors opens through into the splendid and large kitchen & dining room which has a porcelain tiled floor, double French doors to the garden and a lantern roof light. There's loads of room for a table and chairs plus living space. The kitchen area is very well appointed with a central island, a 2 bowl sink unit, extensive cupboards and appliances. These include the wood pellet fired Thornhill cooker range ( 3 ovens, electric induction hob, wine& meat fridge, dishwasher, rotisserie oven, microwave oven, warming drawer, gas hob, grill, fryer and pop-up downdraft extractor.

Off the kitchen is a utility room with a tiled floor, twin bowl sink unit, cupboards and space and plumbing for a washing machine. Adjacent and also being approached from the hall is a shower room with flagstones, basin, wc and a walk in shower. Returning to the kitchen a doorway leads to the sitting room with flagstones, beams and a large inglenook with a wood burner. A door to the side of the inglenook opens to the back stairs. Also, on the ground floor and approached from the hall is a 5th bedroom with fitted wardrobes and equally suited as another living room.

The character of the period property has been retained with original details including an inglenook and oak, elm and pine timberwork in doors, the staircase and beams. These are complemented by new oak timberwork, limestone flagstones and a kitchen and bathrooms fitted and appointed to high standards. In addition, the house has been rewired and re plumbed including the installation of an efficient heating system with underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators upstairs. This is in turn supported by wood burning stoves which add to the ambience of the property. Also, there's a Thornhill wood pellet fired cooker range - described as a traditional iron range cooker with 21st century technology.

First Floor.

First Floor
The staircase from the entrance hall leads to a landing on the first floor. Here there are 4 bedrooms, some having vaulted ceilings. There are also 2 bathrooms and a shower room. One great feature of the property is the single-story extension which has a flat roof, designed, built and used as a sun terrace, again taking maximum benefit of the views. It's approached from a bedroom and can be exited from the bedroom. However, the young and the brave can exit by the tube slide to the terrace below. The slide can be removed and was designed to allow it to be replaced by a spiral staircase if preferred.
