Kilnwood

Unfolding across 4000 square foot of light-filled living space, the interiors are finished in a neutral palette with accents of deep mossy blue and original beams that speak to the home’s past life. An open-plan kitchen-diner opens up on to a verdant suntrap garden, and a cosy snug currently utilised as a movie room branches off down a staircase-in-miniature. A separate woodburner-warmed lounge with a panoramic nook window-seat and built-in shelves await the new owner’s curated book collection, records, and ornamental curios. Downstairs, you’ll find one double bedroom, one bunk room, one twin bedroom, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. Upstairs is a further double bedroom with private access to a family bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower. An annexe has a further double bedroom, twin bedroom, and family bathroom.

Outside there’s a heated outdoor swimming pool (and shower), play area, and two acres of gardens to keep all members of the family entertained. The annexe has the potential to stay as a games room, or to be reimagined as an office, art studio, or whatever else the new owner’s imagination can conjure. The faery rings and cavernous gorges of the Mendip Hills lie on the doorstep, as do the great pubs, restaurants, and cathedrals of Wells. In summer, Glastonbury festival is a short jaunt towards the coast. Kilnwood has been a successful rental property on the Unique Homestays portfolio since 2019, so this sale offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers to secure an income on the home, offering a rental option for groups of up to 10. Furniture is available by a separate negotiation of £40,000.
