Description

With stunning views across open countryside to Glastonbury Tor, Penmayne is a spacious five bedroom detached property with a large garden, swimming pool and a 3.2 acre paddock with a further 3 acres available by separate negotiation. End of chain.

About the property:

Built in the 1960s in the grounds of the former vicarage, Penmayne has been further extended by the current owner to create a spacious five bedroom split level detached family home with a wide terrace and swimming pool taking full advantage of the stunning views to Glastonbury Tor. A beautiful landscaped garden benefits from a large greenhouse, stone outbuildings and productive fruit trees and vegetable beds, and is surrounded by its own land. A 3.2 acre paddock sits to the rear of the property and a further paddock, available by separate negotiation can be found to the side. Offered for sale for the first time in over fifty years, this property presents an exciting opportunity to create a modern residence in a sought after location.

About the inside:

A private drive sweeps round to a wide parking area and the garage and carport. The spacious light filled entrance hall has a shower room to one side and a useful utility room. A short flight of open tread stairs lead down to the main living spaces, and up to the bedrooms. Downstairs, a cosy sitting room opens up into a large conservatory built on the side of the property and enjoying breathtaking views to Glastonbury Tor. Double glass doors from the hall open into the main living room across the back which shares the same views, with French doors opening onto the wide paved terrace. Double doors lead into the formal dining room with polished hardwood floors and sliding doors to the garden. The fully tiled fitted kitchen includes a gas hob and glazed door into the garden. The breakfast area leads back to the hall, and steps lead up to the utility room.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and a single bedroom currently used as a study, all with incredible views. The family bathroom has a white suite, and the dual aspect principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area and en-suite shower room, and a large picture window overlooking the apple tree in the garden.

About the outside:

Approached through stone gate posts and cattle grid, the private driveway curves round and offers access to the parcel of land that sits below the property. Plenty of parking is available in front of the car port and garage. Wrapping around the house, the landscaped garden incorporates a wild flower area, raised paved terrace, perfect for al-fresco dining and entertaining, and extensive lawns with an outdoor swimming pool, stone outbuilding that could be converted into a pool room with showers and WC., and a large greenhouse overlooking the vegetable beds. Behind the outbuilding is a further vegetable garden and access to the land. A 160 year old apple tree offers shade beside the pool, and a productive fig tree sits by a sheltered walled patio.

The pasture land extends to just over 3 acres and slopes down from the house and is bordered by hedgrows. Available by separate negotiation is a further 3 acres which extends behind the property with a stand of oak trees at the top of the rise. This can be accessed from a lane next to the driveway entrance, locally known as part of the Monarch's Way, and includes an area of wild flowers and fruit trees. There is a public footpath that runs along the bottom edge to the fields beyond.

About the area:

North Wootton is a sought after village close to Pilton and Glastonbury and offers an array of country walks, beautiful orchards and vineyards, and a vibrant local community, yet within easy reach of Bristol, Bath and Wells, with trains to London from nearby Castle Cary. Penmayne sits in a secluded location on the outskirts of the village not far from the 5 star hotel and restaurant The Crossways.
