Full Description: DESCRIPTIONA wonderful opportunity to acquire a five bedroom detached family home set in approx. 1/4 of acre of grounds, on the edge of the popular village of Westbury-Sub-Mendip with countryside views and offered with no onward chain. The property has been within the same family for over 58 years and now offers a wealth potential to create into a lovely family home for the next generation.Upon entering the house is a spacious entrance hall with space for shoes and coats. The sitting room can be found to the front of the house with a bay window, with original stained glass detail, overlooking the front gardens and an open fire as the focal point and shelves built into the alcoves either side. The dining room also benefits from a bay window, again with original stained glass detail, to the front of the house , with ample space for a table to accommodate eight to ten people along with an open fireplace. The kitchen comprises a range of fitted units with plumbing for white goods, a serving hatch to the dining room and access to a side porch opening out to the courtyard and gardens beyond. Adjacent to the kitchen is a breakfast room which could either be used as an additional dining area, home office or storage area. A further reception room at the rear of the house benefits from a westerly aspect overlooking the garden and could be used as a playroom, snug or downstairs bedroom, if desired. Stairs lead to the first floor landing, providing access to the five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom is a spacious room with bay window to the front looking out over open countryside and an enclosed area, currently with a sink in situ, but could be created into either a dressing room or ensuite, if desired. Two further double bedrooms benefit from countryside and gardens views and wash hand basins with one benefitting from fitted storage. Two single bedrooms also benefit from fitted storage and have beautiful views. There are two bathrooms adjacent to each other along with a separate w/c. OUTSIDEThe gardens surround the property and have been lovingly tended to over the years with several areas to sit and enjoy the views and sunshine throughout the day. Whilst mostly laid to lawn the garden features an array of flowers, shrubs, bushes, fruit trees (apples, pears and plums) and hedging providing a haven to a host of wildlife. A large area, to the West of the plot, has previously been used as a productive vegetable plot. As the property backs onto open fields it allows views to be had either towards Glastonbury Tor or up towards The Mendip Hills. A courtyard to the side of the house provides the perfect area for outdoor furniture, dining and entertaining with access directly from the kitchen. To the East of the house are several outbuildings which could benefit from updating, one featuring an old well and the other offering a wealth of opportunities to create into a games room, home office or annex - subject to the necessary consents. A driveway for one car leads to a large single garage whilst a further area to the front of the house provides parking for an additional two cars. LOCATIONWestbury-sub-Mendip has a village store, public house and popular primary school.  The Strawberry line, a traffic free path from the Mendips to the Sea, runs through the village.
