Clewer, Wedmore, BS28

Tadorna was built in 2020 for the present owners and designed by them for their own occupation. Scandia-Hus houses are especially designed for their high-performance efficiency and low maintenance. The house is of traditional appearance with a contemporary and imaginative interior. There is underfloor central heating to both floors, and double-glazed windows throughout.

The property is designed to take full advantage of the views from the interior. There are floor to ceiling windows where, on the ground floor, all principal rooms open out to a large paved area spanning the width of the house, with wide and extensive views. On the first floor, bedrooms open to a balcony with glazed balustrade, also spanning the width of the house.

The interior is extremely light and all rooms have superb views. With the clever use of sliding doors on the ground floor, the sitting room and breakfast kitchen/dining room adapt to open plan or separate living spaces. The breakfast kitchen is extremely well fitted with units, a breakfast peninsular unit, and integrated appliances include two dishwashers (one in the utility room) two ovens, hob, and cabinet fridge/freezer. On the first floor, the gallery landing gives access to all bedrooms. The music/playroom with kitchenette has wonderful views. The en suites and family bath/shower room are finished to a high specification and there is a comprehensive range of built-in cupboards and wardrobes throughout the house.

Outside
Tadorna is approached through electrically operated double gates giving access to a large gravel parking area. The drive continues past the house to exit gates, which are not electrically operated, but can easily be upgraded. Lying to the east of the drive is a derelict dormer bungalow.

The garden is laid principally to large expanses of level lawn lying either side of the house, and to the rear, all with stunning open views. Spanning the width of the house at the rear is a deep, paved area, ideal for entertaining, taking complete advantage of the wide open views. To the east are deep shaped borders and an inset small copse. Around the garden, trees include Silver Birch, Oak, Pine, Ginkgo, and Sumac. Fruit trees include Pear and Apple.

Adjoining the garden is a paddock amounting to 7.80 acres, with a belt of woodland at the bottom, to the south.
