Fircot House Hillyfields, Winscombe BS25 1PH

DESCRIPTION Fircot House is a contemporary masterpiece, with fabulous and

creative interior design complementing the exceptional and flexible

living spaces. Externally Fircot House is reminiscent of a Swiss Alpine

chalet with its high gabled facade and gently sloping roof which

provides a natural canopy over the large glazed balcony from which

superb panoramic views over open countryside can be enjoyed. The

impressive and spacious ground floor accommodation is lavished by

exceptional interior design and is as equally impressive as the building itself.

Entering the property to the front deck you come into an internal

lobby which benefits from a large storage cupboard and WC. Spanish

styled wrought iron gates open into the Living/Kitchen/Diner which is

dissected by a bespoke modern glass and steel staircase which rises to

the first floor. The wonderful oak flooring gives way to warm glazed

terracotta tiles to the kitchen which is open plan in space, and the interior has been cleverly defined using thoughtfully positioned

furniture to create a soft seating area, dining area and entertaining

space, ideal for large family gatherings and parties. To the rear of the

ground floor is a separate study/office perfect for a home business or

additional reception/TV room. Fabulous tri fold doors connect the

ground floor accommodation to a magnificent rear covered terrace

with a raised timber floor and timber balustrades.

On the first floor you are greeted by a beautiful galleried landing with

a porthole window to the front and glass and steel balustrades. The

impressive master bedroom suite is situated to the front of the house

with spacious proportions and vaulted ceiling with exposed timber

beams. The three large windows shower the room with an abundance

of natural light, and French doors provide access to a simply

magnificent glazed balcony from which you can enjoy the dramatic

scenery. The master bedroom is completed by a large dressing roomand smart contemporary en-suite shower room with beautiful stone

tiles and high quality fixtures. The first floor has three further

bedrooms which benefit from fitted furniture and a family bathroom

which has fully tiled walls in a nautical deep blue giving a fresh and

almost art deco appeal.

Externally Fircot House enjoys gardens to all four aspects and a range

of outbuildings including double garage, utility and workshop. The landscaped gardens are well planted with a range of small trees,

shrubs and plants with areas of lawn, a greenhouse, parking for

several vehicles and, to the rear, the simply exceptional covered

terrace which could comfortably seat 60 plus for an al fresco dinner

party in complete privacy.

SITUATION

Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the east side of

the A38 and overlooked by Wavering Down and Crooks Peak is the

ever popular medieval town of Axbridge (www.axbridge-tc.gov.uk).

This Somerset town is packed with 'old world' charm and its Medieval

beginnings are still evident in some of its oldest buildings. An

important wool-producer in the Middle Ages, the town has always been at the centre of things, indeed it was a river port in earlier times.

This was reflected in its early royal charters allowing it to hold markets,

fairs and become a royal borough. It even had its own mint, with coins

showing the town's symbol: the Lamb and Flag. There is far less

through traffic nowadays, but the layout of the town has changed

little over the centuries, a medieval town expanding on a fortified

Saxon burgh. Axbridge is well served for local facilities include post

office, general stores, primary (www.axbridgefirstschool.co.uk) and middle (www.fairlands.somerset.sch.uk) schools (Fairlands being in

Cheddar) and a number of restaurants. Further facilities are available in

the nearby villages of Winscombe and Cheddar and as mentioned,

primary and nursery schools are available at Weare and Axbridge with

older children attending Kings of Wessex School

(www.kowessex.co.uk) or private/public schools at Sidcot (which is a

five minute walk away), Wells Cathedral School and Millfield. The town

has good access to the City of Bristol and the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare and there is access to the motorway network at Clevedon

(junction 20), St. Georges (junction 21) and Edithmead (junction 22).

There is an international airport at Lulsgate and access to a mainline

railway station at Yatton.

DIRECTIONS Travelling south on the A38, continue through Churchill traffic lights

up the hill towards Winscombe. Hillyfields can be found on your right just after the Sidcot School turn off (if you get to the traffic lights by

Sidcot playing fields you've gone too far). Continue down Hillyfields

and the property can be found on the left hand side and will be

recogniseable by the weather boarded double garage which sits at

the approach.

We have noticed ... Fircot House is an exceptional contemporary home that is sure to impress. An incredible amount of design

acumen and careful thought by its current owners has gone into

creating a warm, welcoming and truly bespoke residence which

offers a real wow factor!

Our vendor says ... We have lived on Hillyfields for 10 years and when we first visited Fircot we immediately fell in love with the

location and the amazing views to open countryside. The

property presented lots of scope and the position and well

planted gardens added extra appeal. We have carefully

redeveloped the house over the years to create an easy living

open plan layout to suit of family needs. The under floor heating

adds a cosy and homely feel and the large master bedroom suite

with its amazing balcony and views has created a wonderful haven from which to relax and unwind. The large outdoor

entertaining space has enjoyed many happy parties including

being the venue of the wedding breakfast for our own daughter.

It is a house that will leave us with many great memories and if it

wasn’t for needing to move to be closer to family and

grandchildren we would be happy to stay put for many years to

come.
