Property for sale in Hewish: Large seven bedroom house

The origins of the seven-bedroom dwelling, named Glebe Cottage, date back more than 400 years and over time the property has been subject to a programme of refurbishment and renovation that has been completed with great care and attention to detail. Now, the property’s charm and character such as its latched doors and stone walls, sit well alongside its high-specification contemporary fixtures and fittings.

On the ground floor, there is a superbly appointed kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a comprehensive and stylish range of grey units, wooden worksurfaces, an island breakfast bar and a racing green Aga which gives the room a traditional feel. The dining room is light and airy with windows overlooking the garden, and the sitting room has a large inglenook fireplace with an old bread oven, believed to date from the 1600s. There is another spacious sitting/living room with three sets of French doors that open to the side and rear garden. This level is completed with a large home office and a music room.

On the first floor, a light and spacious landing leads to three double bedrooms and a newly fitted family bathroom with a large shower enclosure. Beyond this, there’s a large living room/snug with fitted bookshelves and Velux windows, three further double bedrooms, a contemporary shower room and, at the end, a very spacious double bedroom with original timber beams.

Outside, the front garden has a lawn and seating areas along with several mature trees and shrubs. The spacious rear garden is enclosed and mainly laid to lawn with a wealth of mature shrubs and trees. A wide sun terrace runs adjacent to the house, providing a wonderful space for outdoor dining. There is also an orchard with fruit trees and a two-acre paddock.
