Originally built in 1901 as a quarryman’s cottage, this elegant property has been sympathetically extended and retains a number of period features, including a beautifully traditional stone façade and sash windows. Set in an elevated position, it offers sweeping views over its own grounds, towards the village and Mendip Hills, providing the perfect blend of privacy and accessibility. It is also well placed for easy access to both local amenities and national networks. Inside, a generous amount of flexible family accommodation benefits from an abundance of windows, ensuring that natural light floods the space and creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, alongside magnificent far-reaching views from almost every room. Outside, to the rear, is a small area of woodland with access to the old quarry. Surrounding the house are beautifully landscaped gardens, with an array of terraced areas offering the opportunity to take in the views, before extending into two generously sized paddocks. The 17 acres of grounds also include historic lime kiln and several spacious outbuildings; including storage, a log shed, workshop and greenhouses, as well as a vegetable garden, orchard and grass tennis court, making this an ideal property for anyone with an interest in country pursuits. The House Approaching The Coppice via a long driveway you first glimpse the property standing in a commanding elevated position. Built in traditional stone with an attractive symmetrical façade, it has a pantile roof and is set into the hillside across four floors. Stepping inside the pretty front door, with fanlight glazing above, the reception hall is a warm and welcoming space, featuring a galleried landing and an ash staircase which descends to the living accommodation. Immediately ahead is the dining room. Beautifully proportioned, it has ample space for a large table and two sash windows which perfectly frame views over the property’s grounds and towards the local woods and the Mendip Hills in the far distance. To the right, the elegant drawing/sitting room is bathed in natural light from multiple windows, again offering stunning views. A raised fireplace with an inset log burner enhances the cosy yet refined feel. The kitchen/breakfast room is another generous space. The kitchen is custom-built in solid Tanganyika walnut, featuring a range of floor and wall-mounted units, space for a dishwasher, gas hob, fridge and oven. Windows offer picturesque views over the front garden, whilst the breakfast area has ample room for a large table and enjoys the warmth of a dual-fuel burner with back boiler, making it a cosy yet practical space. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a spacious laundry/utility room with plenty of storage, together with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a downstairs cloakroom. A staircase from here descends to the lower level, where a long corridor gives access to a multitude of rooms, including a dedicated wine cellar, a boiler room, a generous pantry/larder and, at the end, a fully shelved room currently arranged as a library but which could easily serve as a games or playroom. The bedroom accommodation can be found upstairs, attractively arranged around the galleried landing. The principal bedroom, which enjoys a spectacular double aspect, is exceptionally spacious, with fitted wardrobes, drawers and a wonderful en suite bathroom with walk-in shower. The remaining three bedrooms are served by both a family bathroom and a separate walk-in shower room. A spiral staircase from the landing leads to the attic floor where there are two generously sized rooms with Velux windows overlooking the woodland, which could be used as additional bedrooms (STPP). The Coppice is set within approximately 17 acres of grounds, including landscaped gardens, private woodland, 2/3 large paddocks and a grass tennis court. Gardens with terracing extend on all sides of the property, offering numerous idyllic spots in which to relax, soak in the tranquil rural surroundings, and enjoy the scenic views. There is also a kitchen garden area with established soft fruit plants. The two large paddocks not only provide a huge degree of privacy but a beautiful aspect from the interior of this wonderful home. Extensive outbuildings including a log shed, workshop, double garage and storage barn could easily offer the opportunity to be converted for equestrian use should the new owner wish to keep horses. Together, these features create a truly unique and breath-taking setting.
