This rural home is “perfectly placed” for 360-degree countryside views - but is less than two miles from the town centre.

Dunelm, in Nynehead, is described as a “grand” property, which has been expanded over the years to create a large family space, and has views across the Somerset countryside.

The house is entered through a stable door to a large porch and entrance hallway,leading to the two reception rooms - the sitting room, with a wood burning stove set into a chimney breast, and an open plan study and seating area.

The original kitchen has been transformed into an internal hall, with a new open plan kitchen, dining room and family room to the rear of the home, featuring integrated appliances and French doors.

Also on the ground floor are a utility cupboard and a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the master bedroom having its own en-suite shower room, as well French doors opening out onto a private balcony.

Outside, the gardens surround the property and are mostly laid to lawn with some flower and shrub borders, with flowers including magnolias and wisteria climbing the house.

There is also an allotment area with a greenhouse and a log store, two tool stores, an internal garage, and several trees, including apple trees and nesting boxes used by owls and kestrels.

The property is being sold by Wilkie May & Tuckwood for a guide price of £795,000.

Abby Walker of Wilkie May & Tuckwood commented: ”The breathtaking views enjoyed by Dunelm from every angle quite simply cannot be missed.

“Dunelm is a grand property with generously proportioned rooms allowing flexibility to accommodate a growing family’s ever changing needs; loved by the current owners for over 40 years, a home where their children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren have made wonderful memories.

“Located on the outskirts of the popular village of Nynehead, it is hard to believe that Wellington town centre is less than two miles away.”
