An exceptional detached equestrian residence enjoying a prestigious edge of village setting within the Quantock Hills, commanding breathtaking countryside and coastal views.

Offering beautifully appointed four bedroom, four bathroom accommodation, the property stands in 4.43 acres with stabling, ménage, garaging and extensive parking.

Wyndham Lodge occupies an enviable position on the very edge of this highly sought after Quantock Hills village, approached via a quiet country lane and perfectly positioned to take full advantage of its spectacular panoramic views across rolling farmland towards the Quantock Hills and the Bristol Channel.

Originally constructed as a detached bungalow in the 1950s, the property has been transformed through an extensive programme of enlargement and refurbishment completed in 2018/19, creating a striking contemporary home.

A dramatic full-height glazed apex frontage floods the interior with natural light and provides an impressive introduction to the beautifully designed accommodation within.

The property combines modern comfort with energy efficiency, benefiting from electric heating complemented by photovoltaic (pv) solar panels with battery storage, double glazed windows and doors throughout, and is offered for sale inclusive of fitted carpets and floor coverings.

The beautifully presented accommodation is arranged over two floors and, in brief, comprises a double glazed entrance door opening into a welcoming reception hall, which flows seamlessly into a truly impressive sitting room.

Flooded with natural light from a striking full-height glazed feature, this elegant space enjoys wonderful views towards the coast and is centred around a marble fireplace with inset wood-burning stove.

An attractive oak and glazed staircase rises to the first floor, while double doors open into the heart of the home.

The superb open plan family living space is designed for both entertaining and everyday living.

Triple opening sliding doors frame delightful views across the rear gardens towards the Quantock Hills whilst providing direct access to the terrace and gardens creating an effortless connection between the indoors and outside.

The room offers generous sitting and dining areas, complemented by a further wood burning stove and a beautifully appointed kitchen fitted with an extensive range of base and wall units with a peninsula bar and one and a half bowl sink with mixer tap.

Integrated appliances include an lpg hob, eye-level double oven and dishwasher together with the warmth and character of an oil-fired Aga.

A multi-pane door leads through to a well-equipped utility room with matching cabinetry, plumbing for a washing machine and access to the rear garden.

Continuing through the property, an inner hallway provides an additional storage cupboard, a further external door, and access to a cloakroom fitted with a contemporary white suite.

The ground floor also offers two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying beautifully appointed en-suite bathrooms and delightful views over either the surrounding countryside or towards the coast.

The first floor continues to impress with two further double bedrooms, each benefiting from en-suite facilities.

The magnificent principal suite is particularly noteworthy, featuring a striking galleried balcony overlooking part of the sitting room and the full height glazed windows that capture breathtaking views across open farmland to the coast and welsh coastline.

The suite is complemented by an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and a luxurious contemporary en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding slipper bath and separate walk-in shower.
