Property Description

Shiloh is a unique and spacious detached family home, set on the gentle slopes of Templars Way in Shipham. Approached via a private gated drive, the outstanding position that the property occupies is immediately apparent as you glimpse the glorious views through the trees. Arriving at the property there is ample off street parking for a good number of vehicles and a large double garage.

Entering the property through a handy storm porch, a well positioned window to the back elevation of the house allows you to see directly through to the amazing views. To the left of the hallway is a spacious triple aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and a large rear window to enjoy the incredible outlook. Beyond the sitting room a small passageway links through to a good sized dining room, again with wonderful views that then continues through to the 22' kitchen/breakfast room and utility area. To the ground floor you will also find a really useful study which could be utilised as a fifth bedroom if desired, and also a large utility/boiler room with a handy cloakroom.

From the hallway, stairs descend to the lower ground floor where you will find the property's four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. All four bedrooms benefit from rear facing windows that look out over the spectacular landscaped garden, whilst a perfectly positioned garden room also enjoys the super aspect and is a perfect spot to while away the hours with a good book or a glass of G&T. There are two well appointed bathrooms, one with a full three piece white suite and separate shower and the other a good sized shower room. 

The property further benefits from several additional rooms including three incredibly versatile rooms that could be utilised as play rooms/craft rooms or even a gymnasium, what's more there is also a exceptional maze of cellar rooms that can be accessed via a large workshop that also has a side access door to the garden.

Outside, the gardens at Shiloh are truly spectacular, thoughtfully embarked upon some 27 years ago the garden is now well established and visually inspiring everywhere you look. To the right of the house is a line of individual conifers that support a spring display of azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons, whilst to the left of the house is a woodland area planted with ferns and acers. Below a well positioned sun terrace is a tropical garden of cannas, agapanthus, ginger lilies and bananas. The main lawn has several lovely trees and is surrounded by well stocked borders. There is also a very interesting pond, a large patio which is perfectly positioned for watching the sun setting over the rolling hills to the coast, and a rose arch leading to a formal garden with a large pergola and a beautiful wisteria. The flowers beds are thoughtfully planted as a colourful rainbow wheel.

For those who enjoy cultivating home produce, a large gate leads to a flat lawned area with fruit trees, raised beds and a polytunnel. Beyond this is a idyllic paddock, perfect for a pony or a few sheep.

WE HAVE NOTICED... Absolutely breath-taking views, with a beautiful garden, paddock and so so much future potential

SITUATION

Shipham is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a highly sought after village, nestled in the picturesque Somerset countryside. It is well served by both primary and middle schools and is much sought after by those commuting to Bristol, as it offers all the advantages of rural living with many bridleways and footpaths, including the West Mendip Way which crosses the parish providing ready access to the hills and Mendip plateau, where there are extensive views across the Bristol Channel to the Welsh coast and Brecon Beacons beyond. Indeed, it is very well positioned for local transport links and the M5 motorway which is accessible via junction 20 at Clevedon, junction 21 at St Georges and junction 22 at Edithmead. Village facilities are available, including butcher/stores, garage, public house, hotel and further shopping facilities at nearby Winscombe and Cheddar. The new village hall (with its stage, sports hall, function rooms and kitchen) is a popular centre for a broad range of community events and activities for all ages. Private sector schooling is close by at Sidcot and the Downs School at Wraxall is within easy reach, as are Wells Cathedral School and Millfield. In the state sector, Kings of Wessex School (www.kowessex.co.uk) is nearby and for sports and recreational amenities, Churchill Academy is a drive away. The surrounding area is excellent riding country and is sure to appeal to equestrian enthusiasts and walkers. There is an international airport at Lulsgate and access to the mainline railway station at Yatton.
