A Charming Family Home in an Idyllic Location
Nestled in the sought-after town of Bruton, Red House is a delightful double-fronted four-bedroom family home located within walking distance of Bruton’s renowned schools and fashionable high street.
Elegant and Versatile Living Spaces
The Red House makes the very best of the Edwardian building era with well-proportioned reception rooms, good ceiling heights and big bay windows drawing in light.
In addition, the kitchen is a well-designed space thoughtfully positioned next to the snug, providing a sociable atmosphere for family gatherings and dinner parties.
At the back of the house, the impressive garden/dining room is a standout feature. With French doors, Velux windows, and traditional windows along the entire rear elevation, the space maximises the lovely outlook where deer, rabbits, all sorts of songbirds and the occasional predatory Sparrow Hawk can be enjoyed. This substantial room offers ample space for both relaxing and entertaining.
Spacious and Light-Filled Bedrooms
Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four double bedrooms, each benefiting from high ceilings and large windows that create a bright and airy feel. The rear-facing rooms also enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The modernised family bathroom includes a vanity unit, w/c, heated towel rail, and a bath with an overhead shower, offering contemporary convenience.
For those seeking further space, the property previously had planning permission for a loft conversion and ground-floor reconfiguration, which has now lapsed. These plans offered the potential to transform the home into an even more contemporary open-plan living space or to create a luxurious top-floor suite with additional bath and shower rooms.
Beautifully Maintained Gardens and Practical Additions
The rear garden is a true highlight of the property. A large terrace leads up to a neatly maintained lawn, surrounded by mature shrubbery. A gravel terrace at the top provides an ideal space to take in the picturesque countryside views.
Additional garden features include raised beds, a greenhouse, and a shed, ideal for buyers looking to grow their own veg or design their own perfect garden idyll.
A double garage is positioned to the side of the house, offering excellent storage for many a surfboard, bike or classic car, while the extensive driveway at the front provides ample parking.
A Perfect Location – The Charm of Bruton
Bruton is a historic town set in the rolling countryside of the Brue Valley, offering a unique blend of countryside rurality and 'Notting Hill' style. The town enjoys an impressive selection of amenities, including boutique shops, cafes, a pharmacy, and a post office. Dining experiences such as ‘Osip' (osiprestaurant.com), ‘At the Chapel (atthechapel.co.uk),’ and the renowned ‘The Newt in Somerset’(www.thenewtinsomerset.com) all add immense draw to the already famed area.
Bruton is well-connected, with a railway station on the Bristol-Weymouth line and direct Inter-City services from nearby Castle Cary to London Paddington. The area is also well-regarded for its excellent schools, including King’s School Bruton, Sexey’s School, and Sunny Hill Prep, with other renowned institutions such as Millfield and Hazelgrove within easy reach.
For those who love the outdoors, the surrounding countryside offers stunning walks, there are many National Trust sites such as Stourhead House and Gardens, and also exclusive visits to Babington House and of course The Newt Gardens.
The Owners' Experience
"The Red House, our home, has been a place of love, family, and lasting memories. With stunning views of open fields at the back, it offers a sense of space and tranquillity. The versatile layout has been perfect for our young family, evolving effortlessly as the children grew. There is enough space downstairs to be together or apart. Built in the 1930s, it carries a timeless charm while providing the strength and warmth of a true family home. The countryside is on your back door and the town is just a 10-minute walk offering great schools on the doorstep. More than just a house, it has been a place filled with love and laughter and we have loved living here, but it is time for a change and The Red House is ready to welcome its next chapter with new owners."
