Fox Lane, Winscombe, BS25 1NF

Wayside – A charming Arts & Crafts home with enchanting gardens. Fox Lane is a private lane leading to the property which is tucked away in the leafy and sought-after Sidcot area of Winscombe.

Wayside, built in 1920, is a truly captivating Arts & Crafts style residence.

With its picturesque façade, intricate period details, and beautifully landscaped gardens, this is a home of rare character and warmth.

Typical of the Arts & Crafts movement, the house is rich in handcrafted charm — from its leaded light windows and ornate fireplaces to the original door and window latches that whisper stories of a bygone era.

Yet, behind its heritage beauty Wayside functions perfectly as a modern family home: practical, comfortable, and quietly elegant.

Set within stunning landscaped gardens that wrap around three sides, the grounds are a true highlight — featuring mature trees, colourful seasonal planting, tranquil water features and several seating areas to follow the sun throughout the day.

A generous terrace provides the ideal setting for alfresco dining and entertaining. The house is entered via a charming covered porch into a welcoming hallway with an original staircase.

On the ground floor, the dual-aspect sitting room enjoys views across the lush gardens, while a separate dining room offers a more formal setting.

There’s a versatile study or fifth bedroom, and the kitchen-breakfast room blends old and new with a remodelled kitchen and an original built in Welsh dresser.

A utility, boot room and stylish ground floor shower room complete the downstairs. Upstairs, you’ll find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with en-suite shower room.

A fourth single bedroom currently serves as a dressing room but could be ideal for a nursery, child’s bedroom or study.

The family bathroom, with its blue and white tiles, is a charming blend of country style and modern comfort.

Location Sidcot sits on the edge of the popular village of Winscombe, in the heart of North Somerset.

With its community spirit, excellent local shops and sporting facilities and the renowned independent school, Sidcot is particularly attractive to families.

The Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is on the doorstep, offering endless opportunities for walking, riding and cycling, while nearby transport links provide swift access to Bristol, Bristol Airport, Bath and beyond.
