CULVERHAYS
9, COMBE BATCH, WEDMORE, SOMERSET, BS28 4DU
A smartly designed family home tucked away in one of the most desirable locations in Wedmore. This modern detached house is thoughtfully arranged and beautifully presented.
The property features a hallway with a downstairs cloakroom, kitchen/ breakfast room, well-proportioned living/ dining room, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Outside, the house enjoys a sunny terrace adjoining a level lawn with fruit trees, flower beds, a wooden shed and a garden studio. There is decent off-road parking on the front shared driveway, plus a secure garage.
Location
The property is just a stone’s throw from The Borough—Wedmore’s main street, with its charming mix of shops, pubs, a popular café, and the village store. Though only moments from the heart of the village, the house is discreetly positioned, set back from the Wells Road by a block-paved driveway, and enjoys a tranquil garden to the rear with excellent privacy.
Description
Centrally placed in a popular and energetic village, Culverhays is a thoughtfully designed residence with modern flow. Built in 2011- 2012, this 3-bedroom family home is full of charm and ready to move in.
The house benefits from ample private parking—a rare find in central Wedmore—and an intimate rear garden that offers a private retreat within a bustling community.
Accommodation
The front entrance is sheltered by a portico and opens into a welcoming hallway, elegantly finished with wooden skirting and a handsome staircase. Leading off the hallway are the kitchen, living room, a downstairs cloakroom, and convenient internal access to the garage, which also serves as a utility room with space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The living/ dining room is warm and inviting with its soft neutral colour palette and rich, dark wood-coloured flooring. A log-burning stove provides a charming centre piece, while bi-folding doors offer uninterrupted views down the length of the garden, all the way to the apple tree at the far end.
The bright, double-aspect kitchen features a breakfast bar, Belfast sink, electric hob, oven and extractor. There is ample storage across both eye-level and base units, along with an integrated undercounter fridge. A part-glazed door floods the space with natural light and opens directly onto a paved terrace for outdoor dining.
Upstairs, a spacious landing connects the 3 bedrooms and family bathroom. The front, south-facing, bedroom has two large windows and an en-suite shower room. The principal bedroom and third bedroom offer views of the garden and the Mendip hills beyond.
Outside
Privately set back from the street, the house is approached by a block-paved driveway that offers off-road parking and leads to the front portico and integral garage. A pathway connects to an attractive rear garden with a level lawn, a lilypond and flowerbeds. The back of the house enjoys a sizeable, paved terrace that catches the evening sun and offers views of Wedmore’s 15th century church tower. Beyond the fruit trees at the end of the garden, there is a wooden shed and a versatile studio cabin – perfect as a creative space, reading room or peaceful retreat.
