Positioned along a quiet country lane along the Somerset Wiltshire border, Witheys Tynings is a substantial and beautifully renovated home offering over 2500 sq ft of accommodation. Meticulously upgraded by the current owners in 2024, the property combines high quality modern finishes with a spacious and versatile layout, ideal for contemporary rural living.
The house is approached via a private, gated driveway, providing ample parking and access to a detached double garage with electric car charging point. The home is on an elevated portion of the plot, set back from the lane and enjoying well established wrap around green space.
Entry to the home is via a generous and welcoming hallway that immediately conveys the property s sense of space, light and careful proportion. The internal layout has been thoughtfully reconfigured to maximise natural light and allow for easy flow between rooms, while high quality finishes throughout create a consistent feeling of craftsmanship and longevity. The main living spaces include a large, dual aspect sitting room and a formal dining area, both with views across the garden. Adjacent is a spacious conservatory, currently used as a home gym, which could equally serve as a playroom or additional reception space.
The centrepiece of the home is the open plan kitchen and informal living area, which has been designed by the owners and installed by Magnet to an exacting standard. It features solid white ash cabinetry, a central oak island and stone worktops throughout. Appliances are of a high specification, including Neff ovens one with steam function , an integrated BOSCH dishwasher, a Quooker boiling tap and a water softener system, all chosen to ensure long term efficiency and ease of use. A bespoke coffee cupboard keeps daily appliances tucked neatly out of sight while providing a functional and stylish focal point. A discreet utility area allows the kitchen to remain an uncluttered space for cooking, dining and socialising. Aluminium framed doors open directly from the kitchen to a wide stone patio, offering a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, and inviting full enjoyment of the surrounding views.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged to allow for both flexibility and privacy. The principal bedroom suite is a large, peaceful room with an abundance of natural light and views across the garden, featuring bespoke wardrobes with solid brass handles and a luxurious en suite bathroom finished with Fired Earth tiles and high quality fittings. Two further double bedrooms also enjoy en suite access, with bedroom three offering a private connection to the main family bathroom ideal for guests. A fourth double bedroom is currently used as a home office, underscoring the versatility of the layout and its suitability for remote working. Each of the bathrooms has been individually designed and finished with care, showcasing solid brass fittings and classic materials selected for their timeless appeal.
The home benefits from an exceptionally large loft space, insulated and boarded with a new loft ladder. There may be further scope to extend, subject to planning.
Externally, the property s landscaped gardens are a major feature, with a wide stone terrace wrapping around the house to provide multiple areas for seating and outdoor dining. The main lawn is level and well maintained, bordered by fruit trees and flowering beds, and includes areas well suited to growing vegetables or further landscaping. Far reaching views can be enjoyed from many parts of the garden, extending across to the Mendip Hills mast and, on clear days, as far as the city of Bath. A practical addition to the garden is the custom installed dog shower with both hot and cold plumbing, designed for pets returning from countryside walks. The detached double garage provides further useful accommodation, including a professionally finished office space with Amtico flooring, ideal for home working or use as a creative studio. To the rear is a fully insulated store room, previously a dedicated wine cave, with additional loft storage above. These ancillary spaces are well integrated and complement the main residence without compromising its peaceful and residential nature.
The current owners have undertaken a complete refurbishment with a focus on quality, energy efficiency and long term comfort. Feel free to check out the property s Instagram account Bungalow reno longleat
