Description - An impressive 3 storey, 8 bedroom Victorian residence, situated on the edge of the village of West Pennard close to Glastonbury, Street and the City of Wells.
Description
This beautiful family home has been the subject of complete renovation in the last 3 years and combines period features with contemporary style. The accommodation includes a drawing room, snug room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor are 4 bedrooms, (2 ensuite) and family bathroom. On the top floor are 4 further bedrooms (one ensuite) and a bathroom. The house is quietly situated in a plot of approx. three quarters of an acre with stunning views over the Somerset countryside to nearby Glastonbury Tor and beyond. Also in the grounds is a timber building (formerly stabling for 2 horses) and a timber chalet which is in need of updating but has potential for secondary accommodation.
The stunning architecture of The Elms reflects the Gothic style with stone mullion window and working shutters, high ceilings, impressive marble and cast-iron fireplaces, fine plaster moulded cornices and ceiling roses, stained glass windows and door panels, flagstones and servants' bells.
An attractive feature of the property is the amount of natural light flooding in through the tall windows, including the magnificent south facing bay in the drawing room and a newly installed lantern on the top floor.
In the last 18 months, the house has been re-roofed, rewired, replumbed, and a new central heating system with new radiators and boiler was installed, as well as the windows replaced to a high specification.
The kitchen/ breakfast room has a range of Shaker style units with wooden worktops, an electric Aga, a central island, integrated appliances including a dishwasher and an electric oven, a double butler sink and room for an American style fridge/freezer. The flooring is tiled with an attractive geometric design. The tall bay window is the perfect sunny spot for a table to enjoy a meal while looking out over the garden.
All of the newly installed and well-appointed bathrooms are of a contemporary design.
The Elms is approached via a driveway with right of access for residents of three properties. Leading off this approach is a private driveway owned by the The Elms with space for parking and access to the two timber buildings. The drive continues up to the house and opens up into a gravelled parking area, further space for parking several vehicles and off which is a covered carport. The carport links The Elms with a neighbouring cottage at the rear of the property.
The peaceful garden is mostly laid to lawn and has a variety of well-established trees and shrubs. The front of the property has a wide south facing aspect from which wonderful rural views can be enjoyed.
