Looking for a dream home with breathtaking views and all the modern luxuries?
This impressive five-bedroom detached house on Ash Lane in Wells could be exactly what you're after. With a guide price of £1,250,000, this individually designed property offers nearly 3,000 square feet of versatile living space, making it perfect for families who love to entertain, relax, and enjoy life in style.
From the moment you step inside, the home makes an impact. The double-height glazed atrium, complete with a stunning fibre-optic lighting installation by renowned artist Bruce Munro, sets the tone for what's to come. It's a bright, welcoming space that flows effortlessly into the heart of the house—a spectacular 26ft x 21ft open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area.
This is the kind of space that's made for hosting everything from family dinners to summer parties. With bi-fold doors opening onto a beautifully landscaped garden, the indoor-outdoor flow is seamless, and the views over Glastonbury Tor and Wells Cathedral are truly something special. Imagine spending long summer evenings here, enjoying the sunset while entertaining friends and family on the terrace.
The kitchen is nothing short of a chef's dream. It comes fully equipped with high-end NEFF appliances, including two double ovens, a steam oven, microwave, and warming drawers. There's also a large island with leathered granite worktops, a Franke boiling water tap, and plenty of storage—including a walk-in pantry. A separate utility room keeps the practical side of things tucked away, with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and an American-style fridge/freezer.
Downstairs, you'll also find a cosy sitting room with garden views, a study for those working from home, and a convenient cloakroom. And let's not forget the integral double garage with its own EV charging port, perfect for keeping your car secure and charged up.
Upstairs, the luxury continues with five spacious double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a real showstopper, complete with a dressing room, en-suite bathroom, and Juliet balcony offering spectacular views across the surrounding countryside and towards Wells Cathedral. The four additional double bedrooms all come with walk-in wardrobes and their own Juliet balconies, so everyone gets a slice of luxury.
This home doesn't just look great—it's packed with modern, energy-efficient features, too. There's underfloor heating throughout, solar panels to supplement water heating, a rainwater harvesting system, and LED lighting. Plus, the Sonos sound system and hardwired internet ensure you stay connected and entertained in every room.
The south-facing garden is an entertainer's dream, with a terrace running the entire width of the house, perfect for al fresco dining. It's beautifully landscaped with Mediterranean-style plants, a fire pit, and a pergola-covered seating area for those sunny summer days. There's also a large lawn and mature trees, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the stunning views.
Located in one of Wells' most sought-after areas, Ash Lane is just a short walk from the city centre. You'll have easy access to everything Wells has to offer, from its charming high street and weekly produce market to historical landmarks like Wells Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace. Plus, top local schools, including The Blue School, Wells Cathedral School, and Millfield, are all nearby.
