1 5 Observatory Field Winscombe BS25 1LL

2 5 Observatory Field Winscombe North Somerset BS25 1LL Stunning dual occupation opportunity! Set in a quiet cul de sac position on Winscombe hillside and offering impressive accommodation of over 2,300 sq ft (including garage) is this move in and unpack three bedroom detached bungalow with impressive self contained one bedroom annex and sizeable gardens. Impressive bungalow with self contained one bed annex Living/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and utility Three double bedrooms, family bathroom, en suite and WC Annex with kitchen/lounge/diner, large bedroom and en suite Double garage and substantial off street parking Impressive level gardens Price: 550,000 DESCRIPTION Built by Wilson Connolly homes in 2002 but significantly extended and improved in the intervening years is 5 Observatory Field, a three bedroom bungalow with self contained attached one bedroom annex set in a quiet yet convenient cul de sac position overlooking Winscombe. The current owners have been in the property since new and have undertaken a body of works which really have created an unexpected and versatile living space matched by the already impressive gardens and substantial garage and parking. This accommodation briefly comprises, in the main body of the bungalow; entrance hallway, 19' living/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, three double bedrooms, 'Jack and Jill' style family bathroom, en suite shower room and separate WC. This part is warmed by gas central heating and upvc double glazing and benefits from no fewer than six large cupboards/wardrobes, so no problems with storage here! The annex, completed in 2011, has been cleverly configured so that, although it has its own entrance door, it is still accessible from the main bungalow via the double garage and could quite easily be amalgamated into the main accommodation if one so wished. It briefly comprises; an impressive ground floor 17' kitchen/lounge/dining room, a hallway, and stairs to a large 'T' shaped master bedroom suite with en suite shower room and space enough for a study area. This part is warmed by its own gas central heating system, is also double glazed and benefits from further storage in the eaves. Outside, the property is set in a tucked away and private plot that measures around a quarter of an acre with substantial off street parking on a tarmac drive and 21' integral double garage. The gardens are level and have been beautifully tended to provide an easy maintenance and eminently useable outside space which includes large area of lawning, paved patio and substantial summer house with raised deck surround. Set in a convenient cul de sac spot, 5 Observatory Field is prominent on the hillside in Winscombe with some associated views from the garden, yet, of course, the benefits that make Winscombe so sought after as a village are just a short walk away. Indeed, for lovers of walking, Observatory Field is perfectly located for the varied and beautiful surrounding countryside. Well served by amenities and shops, this lovely community is also a draw because of its very well regarded schools, both state and private, and the fantastic transport routes to Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare and the M5 motorway are very convenient. Indeed, 5 Observatory Field has the potential to be a lot of things to a lot of differing buyers. For a family looking for a large main living space with an annex for an elderly parent, an older child, or even to provide an extra income in terms of rental, it ticks all the boxes. Yet, it could also suit a buyer looking for a large living space with extra versatile accommodation... Indeed, the annex rooms could be work from home, studio or gym spaces and the double garage could easily be converted into further accommodation if you so wished (subject to appropriate consents). The possibilities are endless! We would therefore recommend an early viewing of this impressive detached property at your earliest possible convenience. Our vendor says... We bought the property because of its position and vicinity but thought that it was really unusual to find a new bungalow with such a large plot. We loved the light and airy feel with high ceilings that really accentuated the feeling of space. With around 2,300 sq ft of accommodation (including the double garage), we feel the property offers something for everyone. There is still development potential; in our view the garage has been future-proofed and could be a relatively low cost development if you wanted even more space. In addition, the development potential of the loft is given a head start due to the already installed stairs. We will be very sad to leave. We have noticed... A fantastic example of a fully realised dual occupation living space with both independence and amalgamation... Two features not always present in this kind of development project. Yet even without the annex, the bungalow is very impressive, with sizeable gardens, lots of parking and still a bit of scope for a buyer with vision to put their own stamp on things. That spot is also a delight, tucked away but with a feeling of space, eminently convenient but not too built up. Indeed, if you want a large living space with ease of maintenance, versatility and charm... Look no further! SITUATION The North Somerset village of Winscombe was recently placed as the second best place in Britain to raise a family by family investment firm OneFamily (survey in 2015) and is nestled in the beautiful Mendip countryside within commuting distance of Bristol. Its atmosphere is one of bustling activity, with a variety of shops, professional offices and community facilities including church, doctor and primary school ( Winscombe is in the Churchill Academy and Sixth Form Centre ( catchment area for secondary education, which has recently been awarded Outstanding by Ofsted and also benefits from a modern sports complex, and there is also a dry ski slope nearby. Private sector schooling is also close by at Sidcot and the Downs School at Wraxall is within easy reach. Country activities available within the area include horse-riding, walking on the Mendips and sailing on Axbridge Reservoir, and there are also several excellent golf courses in the area. The lovely cathedral city of Wells is a drive away, as is the famous beauty spot, Cheddar Gorge. As mentioned, Winscombe is within commuting distance of Bristol but also has good access to the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare and the M5 at junction 21 to travel north or junction 22 to travel south. There is an international airport at Lulsgate and access to a mainline railway station at Weston. DIRECTIONS Travelling along the A38 from Bristol turn right at the traffic lights onto the A371 signposted to Winscombe. Continue down Sidcot Lane and turn right into Belmont Road.
