Occupying a peaceful elevated position on the edge of the sought-after village of Compton Dundon, Byrelea represents refined architectural design and relaxed country living. This five-bedroom detached home has been thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, combining the warmth of traditional materials with fresh, contemporary sensibility. The result is a light-filled, flexible home that connects beautifully to its surroundings.
Approached via a sweeping horseshoe driveway, Byrelea immediately impresses with its handsome cedar-clad façade and welcoming entrance. Stepping inside, the reception hall is a statement in itself - underfloor heating and natural stone tiles lead the way to a striking solid oak staircase, crafted with glass balustrades and softly illuminated treads, setting the tone for the home’s stylish interior.
At the heart of the home lies a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family space - the perfect setting for both relaxed living and entertaining. Expansive sliding glass doors flood the room with natural light and open directly onto a large sun terrace, creating a seamless transition between inside and out. The bespoke kitchen combines contemporary cabinetry with high-quality integrated appliances, while thoughtful touches and abundant storage ensure elegance and practicality. A separate utility room and WC are positioned off the entrance hall.
To the front, a separate living room offers a cosier retreat, complete with feature fireplace - ideal for quiet evenings or family gatherings. Two ground-floor bedrooms offer excellent flexibility, easily adaptable as guest rooms, a study, or creative space.
Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys a calm, elevated outlook across the gardens and surrounding countryside. This serene space includes a smart en suite shower room and ample storage. Two further bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom complete the first-floor accommodation, creating a balanced layout that works perfectly for both family life and entertaining guests.
The gardens at Byrelea have been landscaped with both form and function in mind. To the rear, generous lawns are framed by mature trees and planting, offering privacy and year-round colour. Two large terraces provide wonderful spots for alfresco dining and relaxation - one shaded by a timber pergola and the other perfect for evening entertaining as the sun sets over the fields beyond.
To the front, the horseshoe driveway provides ample parking, while a detached garage offers further space with potential to extend to a double garage, subject to the necessary consents.
Byrelea enjoys an enviable position in the village of Compton Dundon - a charming Somerset community known for its unspoilt countryside, friendly atmosphere and access to excellent local amenities. The village inn, The Castlebrook, is within easy reach, while nearby Street (approximately three miles to the north) offers an exceptional range of facilities, including Millfield Senior School, Clarks Village, and an array of leisure and dining options.
The historic town of Somerton lies just over three miles south, and for those needing to travel further afield, the M5 motorway (Junction 23) provides swift connections to Bristol, Bath and the wider South West.
