Lodge Hill Farm, Westbury-Sub-Mendip

Property description: Built in 1999 from attractive local Draycott stone, Lodge Hill Farm was thoughtfully designed to make the very best of its exceptional setting. Large windows frame the surrounding countryside, while the principal reception rooms and bedrooms have been carefully positioned to capture the stunning rural views. Extending to 3,294 sq ft, the property provides spacious and versatile accommodation, with the potential to create a self-contained annexe by incorporating the integrated double garage, subject to the necessary consents.

The impressive reception hall creates a striking first impression, with the staircase rising to a galleried landing and a feature arched window flooding the space with natural light.

The triple-aspect sitting room is centred around an impressive Doulting stone fireplace and features French doors opening out to the rear paved terrace, creating an effortless connection between the house and garden. A second reception room has excellent flexibility as either a formal dining room, home office or snug.

The kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, featuring an Aga and ample space for family dining and entertaining. French doors open directly out to the terrace, making it an ideal space for both everyday living and summer gatherings. A utility room, boot room and two ground floor cloakrooms provide practical support for modern family life.

Arranged around the spacious galleried landing, the first floor offers six well-proportioned bedrooms. Most have en-suite shower rooms, while a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, creating an ideal layout for family living and visiting guests.

Outside: Surrounded by fields and hedgerow the garden provides a wonderful sense of privacy and has been designed to make the most of the surrounding landscape. A paved terrace has uninterrupted views across open countryside. There is a large lawn ideal for garden games but also is a blank canvas to create a wonderful outside space. To the front there is a yard with plenty of space for parking. There is also the opportunity to purchase additional adjoining land, offering further lifestyle, equestrian or smallholding potential.

Location: Lodge Hill Farm occupies a peaceful rural position on the edge of the sought-after village of Westbury-sub-Mendip, located just 4 miles from Wells on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a fabulous community run village store with a café in the garden, a popular village school, a playground and numerous clubs and groups that meet in the village. Walks on your doorstep include the disused railway line that ran through the village. The Strawberry Line (as it is known), is now a popular cycle route linking this southern side of the Mendips from Yatton to Wells and beyond. There are numerous fruit and vegetable market stalls found along the route in Draycott and Rodney Stoke towards Cheddar offering you the opportunity to buy from a local producer. Or if you are feeling more adventurous why not try the Mendip Gliding Club for spectacular views as you soar over the Somerset Levels from just above Draycott Steep or further walks right on the doorstep up through the Mendips and beyond including the impressive Cheddar Gorge.

An easy drive to the historic city of Wells with the benefit of regular bus services provides a range of amenities with four supermarkets, a cinema, leisure centre, numerous coffee shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from, several dentists and doctors, some fabulous independent shops and even some art shops for those seeking something a little different. There are also famous historical landmarks such as the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace, as well as the popular twice weekly produce market and Cedars Hall offering a range of cultural events throughout the year. Bristol airport is also only a short drive away (approx.15 miles).
