Description

WORTHYLAND
BACK LANE, DRAYCOTT, SOMERSET, BS27 3TN
 
An absolutely charming period house in a rural Somerset village in the lee of the Mendip Hills. It lies between the renowned Cathedral City of Wells, the highly popular village and tourist centre of Cheddar and the quintessential English village of Wedmore
 
The house, probably of Georgian origins, has great style and appeal together with excellent accommodation including an oak framed kitchen/living/dining room, a hall, cloakroom, utility room, 2 good reception rooms, 5 bedrooms, a bathroom and 2 shower rooms.
The attractive stone outbuildings are impressive, including an open cart shed (ideal for garaging) and several other barns for recreational, workshop, stores and other uses.
 
The delightful gardens include various “rooms” with lawns, flower and shrub beds, an ornamental pond, wild grasses and mature trees including a beautiful walnut tree sheltering the entrance drive.
 
Guide price £1,200,000
 
Location
Worthyland stands on the southern side of the village, in a quiet setting and well away from busy roads. It has a beautiful setting and easy access to the surrounding towns and village. Bristol lies to the north with a picturesque drive over the Mendip Hills and through the Chew Valley.
 
Description
The property totals towards half an acre with this handsome house standing in the centre of its grounds enjoying a sunny south facing aspect. The house has been extensively improved and extended over recent years whilst retaining period details including flagstone floors, stone fireplaces and timber beams. These combine with excellent underfloor heating and contemporary kitchen and bathroom fittings.
 
The heart of the house is the oak framed kitchen/living/dining room with lots of room and French doors to the garden. There’s plenty of living and dining space and the kitchen area is well equipped with units and appliances including a Range cooker, extractor unit and dishwasher.
Adjoining, and within the old house, is a utility room – again well fitted and this leads through to an entrance hall with a cloakroom.
A door leads from the dining room into a comfortable snug which has an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove. It also has a door into the hall which also leads to the roomy (21 ft.) sitting room. This has a double aspect, a fireplace with a wood burning stove and alcove cupboards and shelves.
First floor
The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes and cupboards and an en suite shower room and the airing cupboard.
There are two other bedrooms on this floor and a family bathroom
 Second floor
There are two further bedrooms on this floor together with another shower room. All the rooms have pitched ceilings with beams and there are useful under-eaves storage areas.
 
The barns
Exceptional and beautiful – of local stone. They include an open fronted cart shed providing garaging with adjacent barns used as a workshop and store. A stone granary staircase leads to the first floor. At one end is a wood burning stove and the rooms are perfect for many uses.
On the west side of the garden are further stone outbuildings. One has a traditional double seat privy and the other old cider barn includes the Biomass central heating boiler and associated equipment”
 
 
The gardens
Again, these are a delight, wonderfully landscaped and must be viewed to be appreciated. There are various “rooms” or areas including lawns, an apple orchard, standing stones, grasses with daisies, lavender, flower and shrub beds, stone terraces and pathways, a lily pond and a gateway beneath the walnut tree.
 
Other points
Freehold. Not listed.
Mains water, electricity and drainage. Gas bottles for cooker. Biomass central heating system.
EPC awaited. Council tax band F.
Planning consent was passed for conversion of the barns to holiday use. The outline consent was passed 11 years ago and has now lapsed.
 
About the area
Draycott is a small village nestling on the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty popular with walkers and very accessible to the public.
