2 5 3

Occupying an enviable elevated position in the desirable village of Shipham, this exquisite five-bedroom detached family home offers panoramic views across the Bristol Channel to the Quantock Hills, Exmoor, South Wales and the Brecon Beacons. Recently finished to an exceptional standard throughout, the current owners have completely renovated the property to create a light-filled, contemporary home that balances elegance with modern functionality.

Every aspect of this home has been designed to take advantage of its remarkable setting - from the large picture windows framing breathtaking vistas, to the sunny terrace ideal for entertaining and relaxing whilst watching the sun set.
Stairs lead from the reception hall to the main accommodation. At the heart of the home is a high-specification, open-plan kitchen and family space with lofty vaulted ceiling and bespoke Walrow cabinetry, including a discreet unit for television and coffee making, and a large island with a built-in invisible surface phone charger. The integrated appliances include two ovens, a microwave/steamer, wine cooler, two fridges, a freezer, and dishwasher. The space flows naturally into a versatile living area, featuring a log burning stove and bespoke media centre, designed to accommodate family life and social gatherings.
Also located on this floor is a double aspect utility room fitted with a sink, plumbing for a washing machine, and a further range of storage units. A glazed door provides direct access to the garden.
The bedroom accommodation in this impressive home is both spacious and thoughtfully arranged, offering privacy and comfort across two floors.
On the first floor, there are three generously proportioned double bedrooms. Bedroom 2 enjoys the benefit of its own en suite shower room, featuring a stylish double walk-in shower with terrazzo tiling, sleek fixtures, and a modern finish - ideal for guests or as a secondary suite.
Bedrooms 3 and 4 are beautifully positioned at the front of the house, with large windows framing lovely views of the garden and bringing in abundant natural light. These are served by a luxurious family bathroom, fitted with an elegant oval freestanding bath, vanity unit, and a walk-in shower and underfloor heating.
Upstairs, off a light-filled landing with Velux windows, is the expansive principal bedroom. This peaceful suite is a true sanctuary, with its own en suite shower room - again with a double walk-in shower and high-quality finishes. Adjacent to this suite is a beautifully appointed study/dressing room fitted with custom Sharps cabinetry, offering a calm and productive work-from-home space with ample storage. Bedroom 5 is currently configured as a dedicated dressing room lined with fitted wardrobes.

Outside - The property sits in a plot of just over a quarter of an acre. It has been thoughtfully landscaped with easy access around via paved pathways. It also offers off-road parking for at least 4 cars and a single garage (equipped with utility space, sink, smart meters and racking).
Mature lawned front gardens, with a variety of trees and shrubs offer privacy, while the rear garden features raised vegetable beds, and a paved barbecue seating area with wonderful views towards Weston-Super-Mare and the Bristol Channel.

Location - The historic village of Shipham, set on the western edge of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers a strong community feel and local amenities including St Leonard's Church, a Church of England First School, a general store/butchers and a modern village hall offering activities as diverse as a cinema group, wine tasting, pilates, The Shipham Players and many more.
The area is well served by schools, with Winscombe Primary and Churchill Academy both nearby. Kings of Wessex in Cheddar and the independent Sidcot School are also close, with Millfield and Bristol within easy reach.
Dining options include the acclaimed Swan Inn at Rowberrow, and nearby Winscombe, Axbridge and Cheddar offer a broader range of services including shops, cafés, pubs, and sports clubs.
The Mendip Hills provide excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, sailing, and outdoor activities, with the Mendip Activity Centre nearby.
