DESCRIPTION Wilson Manor Farm is an extensive and flexible family home which
has undergone a meticulous and thoughtful renovation schedule in
recent years to create what is now a stunning individual home
packed with character and offering superb versatility, live/work
opportunity or even potential for subletting/holiday lets.
Set just below the glorious Mendip Hills the property occupies a
private, yet not isolated position, and has excellent transport links to
the Cities of Bristol and Wells along with many superb local schools
including Sidcot, Kings of Wessex and Hugh Sexey's. Accessed via its
own privately lane the property is approached via an impressive
gated driveway which opens into a large gravelled parking area
which provides ample parking for a good number of vehicles. There
are also two large wooden barns which could provide covered
parking if desired.
As you approach the front door a beautiful landscaped terrace lies to
the left hand side of the door which is one of many impressive
seating areas from which to revel in the superb setting and take in
the spectacular views. On entering the property, a welcoming
entrance hallway splits to provide access to the main principal
residence and to the ancillary accommodation. The first room of the
main residence is a gorgeous dual aspect dining/breakfast room
which sets the tone for the accommodation to come with its
wonderful natural light, exposed stone walls and French doors to the
inner garden. In fact, it is worthy of note that all the ground floor
rooms have either French or bi-fold doors that transport you out the
super inner garden. From the breakfast room a door leads through
to a large home office complete with a small kitchenette and archive
store with boarded loft storage space. The room also has a private
external access point. To the rear of the breakfast room a beautiful
reclaimed brick archway provides a seamless link through to the
outstanding family kitchen which effortlessly blends wonderful
original features with the sharp modern contrast of the ice white
kitchen units and cool Calacatta quartz counter tops. Adding to the
extensive range of kitchen units is a large central island which
provides excellent food prep space and an informal dining/breakfast
bar area. A four ring Aga, with attached electric double hob and
oven provides your cooking facilities and The Aga sits below a
magnificent brick and oak canopy a theme that is mirrored
throughout the room with traditional reclaimed bricks forming
feature walls and also a striking herringbone splash back. Original
Oaks beams further enhance the stunning character of the room a
true hub of the house.
The sitting room, with its impressive inglenook fireplace, is a
luxurious and homely addition to the house and is the perfect place
to unwind in front of the T.V or with a good book, from here a
bespoke herringbone and oak staircase rises to the first floor
accommodation and rich oak beams that add further character.
The second reception room or drawing room has a grander and
more Victorian feel with its statuesque limestone fireplace and
subtle classic decor. Beautiful brick arched French doors provide
access to the garden. The final reception room on the ground floor is
a formal dining room which features a dramatic vaulted ceiling with
exposed timber beams and marble fireplace, this is a perfect room
for more formal dinner parties or indeed enjoying Christmas
festivities.

the house is a lovely en-suite guest bedroom decorated in a French
inspired theme.
The first floor accommodation comprises four double bedrooms all
of which feature smart en-suite bathrooms. The bedrooms are
accessed via truly impressive landing area which includes a
wonderful stone fireplace and the continued theme of beautiful
English oak beams and exposed stone and brick elevations. The
hallway also provides access to a large linen cupboard and additional
wardrobe/storage space. Two of double bedrooms also enjoy crow's
nest storage area's, whilst the large master bedroom suite benefits
from a substantial range of fitted bedroom furniture and a huge en-
suite bathroom with his and hers sinks, ample vanity units, walk in

The east wing currently comprises a superb home gymnasium with
two sets of bi-fold doors to the garden and timber clad walls, which
in turn leads through to a further reception room with a stone
fireplace and inset wood burner and exposed timber beams, this
room is currently being utilised as a further guest bedroom and
beyond which is yet another reception room/bedroom, kitchenette
and shower room. Although currently forming part of the main
accommodation for the large family who currently reside here there
is without doubt potential for the creating an annexe out of either
part or all of the east week should it be desired.
