Fox Lane, Winscombe BS25

Wayside – A charming Arts & Crafts home with enchanting gardens.

Fox Lane is a private lane leading to the property which is tucked away in the leafy and sought-after Sidcot area of Winscombe. Wayside, built in 1920, is a truly captivating Arts & Crafts style residence. With its picturesque façade, intricate period details, and beautifully landscaped gardens, this is a home of rare character and warmth.

Typical of the Arts & Crafts movement, the house is rich in handcrafted charm — from its leaded light windows and ornate fireplaces to the original door and window latches that whisper stories of a bygone era. Yet, behind its heritage beauty Wayside functions perfectly as a modern family home: Practical, comfortable, and quietly elegant.

Set within stunning landscaped gardens that wrap around three sides, the grounds are a true highlight — featuring mature trees, colourful seasonal planting, tranquil water features and several seating areas to follow the sun throughout the day. A generous terrace provides the ideal setting for alfresco dining and entertaining.

The house is entered via a charming covered porch into a welcoming hallway with an original staircase. On the ground floor, the dual-aspect sitting room enjoys views across the lush gardens, while a separate dining room offers a more formal setting. There’s a versatile study or fifth bedroom, and the kitchen-breakfast room blends old and new with a remodelled kitchen and an original built in Welsh dresser. A utility, boot room and stylish ground floor shower room complete the downstairs.

Upstairs, you’ll find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with en-suite shower room. A fourth single bedroom currently serves as a dressing room but could be ideal for a nursery, child’s bedroom or study. The family bathroom, with its blue and white tiles, is a charming blend of country style and modern comfort.
