Bath Road, Wells, Somerset BA5

A beautifully renovated and significantly enlarged detached home offering a striking contemporary interior, exceptional natural light and superb versatility. Featuring an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining space with a feature glass roof lantern and bifold doors, together with a spacious sitting room, five bedrooms, three bathrooms, landscaped gardens and extensive parking. No onward chain. EPC rating C.

The property has been thoughtfully redesigned to create a home perfectly suited to modern living, combining sleek contemporary finishes with generous proportions and a wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere throughout. At the centre of the house is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, flooded with natural light from the large feature roof lantern and full-width bifold doors, opening directly onto a patio terrace at the rear. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with contemporary cabinetry, extensive work surfaces, a central island and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, cooker, hob and a stylish extractor hood. There is also a useful good size pantry.

The dining area provides an outstanding entertaining space and connects seamlessly with the outside terrace, creating an effortless indoor/outdoor feel during the warmer months. Importantly, the property also benefits from a separate and particularly spacious sitting room, accessed via sliding pocket doors, allowing the accommodation to be either opened into the kitchen/dining space or closed off to create a more private reception room. This flexibility gives the house a practical and well-balanced layout rarely found in many contemporary open-plan designs.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, with the principal bedroom being especially roomy and complemented by a smartly presented en-suite shower room finished with quality tiling and modern fittings. The ground floor offers two further bedrooms, providing flexibility to be utilised as additional reception or study spaces.

On the first floor, there are two more double bedrooms, both with dual-aspect skylights and one has a walk in wardrobe plus a further, well-appointed bathroom. Throughout the property, there is a clear emphasis on natural light, space and high-quality presentation, with the recent renovation programme resulting in a home ready for immediate occupation. Viewings are highly recommended.

Externally, the property has been thoughtfully landscaped and arranged to make the very best of its elevated position and sunny south-facing aspect.

To the front of the house is a superb enclosed terrace and garden area, which provides an excellent outdoor entertaining space together with an attractive lawn and contemporary screening. Enjoying a high degree of privacy together with a wonderful sunny orientation, this area forms a real extension of the living accommodation and is perfectly suited to both entertaining and more everyday use.

To the rear, a further paved courtyard terrace is accessed directly from the dining area via the bifold doors, creating an additional sheltered seating space.

The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking for two to three vehicles, whilst the exterior styling - combining rendered elevations with contrasting timber cladding - gives the house curb-appeal. Beneath the elevated terrace is also a useful external store area, plus additional store to side of property and is electric car charging point ready.
