The Street, Ubley

Property Description: Guide Price: £900,000 - £950,000. Tucked away in a peaceful position on the edge of the village, this architect designed five bedroom home has been thoughtfully extended and remodeled to maximise natural light, connect with its rural surroundings, and offer a calm, functional living environment. With far-reaching views across open fields to the village church and the Mendip Hills beyond, the setting is as impressive as the home itself.

Originally built around 1971, the house has been transformed using healthy home principles, prioritising wellness, sightlines, sustainability and the use of natural materials throughout. The external design blends warm larch cladding and red sandstone feature walls with contemporary render and aluminum framed windows, creating a striking but grounded presence in the landscape.

Inside, the home’s sense of space and flow is immediate. A double height entrance hall is filled with light from floor-to-ceiling glazing and overhead roof lights, and features a bespoke oak staircase with open treads leading to a galleried landing above. Limestone flooring with underfloor heating runs throughout the entire ground floor, setting a calm and cohesive tone.

The heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen/living/dining space that opens out to the garden through three separate sets of doors. It’s a versatile layout, ideal for both relaxed family living and entertaining. The kitchen is finished with Corian worktops, a central island with integrated water filter, Miele dishwasher, induction hob, and a Viking chef’s oven with warming drawer. West and east facing aspects bring in morning and evening light, with spaces currently arranged as a breakfast area and dining zone both with direct garden access.

A triple aspect sitting room offers a peaceful retreat with countryside views and a bespoke open fireplace carved from Mandale Fossiliferous Limestone from a quarry owned by the Chatsworth Estate. Solid oak doors and architraves throughout reflect the natural materials used consistently across the home.

There are five bedrooms upstairs, including a stunning main suite with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a dramatic double-height glazed wall with Juliet balcony overlooking the fields. The ensuite features an oversized bath, double walk-in shower, and natural stone finishes. A fifth bedroom also connects directly to the main, ideal as a nursery, dressing room, study or gym (it has two access doors, one from the landing and the second from the main bedroom, you don't have to access it from the main bedroom). Three further double bedrooms, two front-facing, one with large built-in wardrobes which are served by a modern family bathroom with white suite and shower over the bath. The entire upstairs is newly carpeted and benefits from generous built-in storage across the landing.

The property also features a utility room and downstairs WC off the main hallway, Cat 5 cabling and dual satellite system throughout, and an over-insulated, partially boarded and lit loft for additional storage. Heating is oil-fired, and the property benefits from 16 solar panels for improved energy efficiency.

Outside: The house sits at the end of a shared private driveway with a gravelled and paved parking area for two or more vehicles, lined with silver birch trees. A large single garage with electric door and lighting offers further secure parking/storage/workshop.

The front garden is enclosed and laid to lawn, including fruit trees and a seasonal display of bluebells in spring. A decked terrace by the breakfast room catches the morning sun.

To the rear, the garden opens onto rolling countryside with uninterrupted views and the church beyond. A wildlife pond, native hedging, lawn, decked seating area, and a summerhouse create a peaceful outdoor retreat with access along both sides of the house.
