Set within peaceful and beautiful countryside, yet just a short distance from Cheddar and Wells, The Cedars is a distinguished detached Georgian home that blends historic character with the comfort and ease of modern family living. Sitting just above the village, the house enjoys wide views across the Mendips, a strong sense of privacy and a wonderfully calm, elevated outlook.

The current owner has lived at The Cedars for thirty-one years, drawn initially by the light-filled rooms, generous bay windows, elegant proportions and the seclusion created by the gardens. Over the years, the house has been carefully and sympathetically enhanced, always with respect for its Georgian heritage. Improvements include reroofing, the addition of a substantial conservatory to one side of the house, and the creation of two guest bathrooms to the other. Throughout, the emphasis has been on preserving character while ensuring the house works effortlessly for modern family life and entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed for easy, everyday living and has long been the setting for relaxed, chatty family meals. In contrast, the formal dining room, with its strong Georgian presence, comfortably seats fourteen and has hosted countless memorable occasions. The owner fondly recalls putting the finishing touches to meals in the kitchen while hearing gales of laughter drifting through from the dining room, a reminder that this is a house at its very best when full of people.

The drawing room offers a cosy winter retreat, with a welcoming fireplace and calming views across the walled garden. The study is a particular favourite: bright and sunny, opening directly onto the patio, it is a space where the outside is easily invited in. It has proved a wonderful place to work, read or simply sit and enjoy the surroundings.

Set within approximately 1.19 acres, the gardens are a defining feature and a true extension of the house. Sheltered and warm, the established walled garden has been the backdrop to countless al fresco meals and children’s games, while also providing ideal conditions for growing vegetables. Beyond, mature lawns, established planting and trees lead to an orchard at the far end of the garden, offering generous harvests and a peaceful place to pause and take in the beauty of the setting. A range of outbuildings adds further flexibility, offering potential for studios, workshops, storage or home offices.
