5 Bed Detached House, Planning Permission, Glastonbury, BA6 8SY £850,000

The kitchen is extremely well-appointed with Franklin Kitchen units, including a central island and excellent quality marble work surfaces. In addition, there is an Aga, a gas hob, extractor, electric oven, a dishwasher and space for a large American-style fridge/ freezer. Major features of the kitchen are underfloor heating and the large bifolding doors, which open onto a large, sunny, southwest-facing terrace and garden.

Leading off the kitchen is a very useful, and again, well-fitted utility room with a Miele washer and dryer. On the first floor are 5 bedrooms, a bathroom and an en suite shower room. This includes the large master bedroom, which has an excellent range of fitted units. The en suite has wall tiling, a loo, twin basins and a large shower area. The garage (reduced in size to provide the large utility room) is perhaps now best considered as an excellent storeroom. In addition, there is an adjacent bike store. Outside A gravel drive leads in and provides an excellent parking space, and there’s also an electric car charging connection available. The house sits well within its gardens, being well screened from the village lane with a large mature hedge.

On the sunny south-westerly sides of the house are walled and timber-fenced gardens. These include a splendid large terrace, perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining and simply relaxation. Beyond is a lawn together with well-stocked, thoughtfully planted flower and shrub beds. Two cherry blossom trees give beautiful spring colour, and the plum tree and fig tree bear an abundance of fruit.

EPC RATING 83 BAND B. Directions BA6 8SY What3words///hers.stall.acoustics About the area Butleigh is a friendly and popular historic village with a population of around a thousand, an active church, a very well-regarded nursery and primary school, a church hall, a village hall, various societies and organisations, including a local cricket club. It’s within easy reach of the surrounding towns, with Yeovil to the south, Bath and Bristol to the north. The A303 is just south, and there is a main rail line station at Castle Cary (Paddington about 90 minutes), and the Newt and Hauser & Wirth are within 30 minutes. Glastonbury's past and present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It's been a religious centre throughout history and further back into the times of legends. There was a Celtic monastery here by 500 AD, which, during the next 1000 years, evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey, and today it's a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey. Just 5 miles from Glastonbury is Wells, which is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). Its centre is the Market Place (local markets twice a week), surrounded by many medieval buildings, including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace. Immediately to the south (2 miles) of Glastonbury is the more recent town of Street, and these centres provide a huge range of facilities and amenities. There are excellent state and independent schools in the area, including Crispins, St Dunstan's, Wells Blue School, Strode College, Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, and the Bruton schools.
