Description

There is an immediate sense of arrival at Corbie.

Set back behind a gated entrance and positioned within generous, mature grounds approaching 0.6 acres, this is a home that offers both presence and privacy, while embracing far-reaching views across the surrounding Somerset countryside towards Glastonbury Tor and the Mendips beyond.

Extending to over 3,000 sq ft of living accommodation, this home has been thoughtfully arranged to provide a highly versatile layout, embracing modern family life, multi-generational living, or for those seeking a degree of single-storey accommodation without compromise. Natural light is a consistent theme throughout, with large windows, skylights and glazed openings drawing the outside in and enhancing the sense of space.

At the heart of the home lies an exceptional open-plan kitchen and dining room. Beautifully appointed with granite work surfaces, oak cabinetry and a central island, the space flows effortlessly into a light-filled dining area where full-width bi-folding doors open onto a raised, glass-fronted terrace. From here, the outlook across the gardens and surrounding landscape is both elevated and uninterrupted - an ideal setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the changing seasons.

A short transition leads to the impressive family room, where a striking picture window frames the view like a living canvas. Further bi-fold doors connect again to another terrace, while a wood-burning stove introduces warmth and atmosphere, creating a space that is equally suited to relaxed evenings as it is to larger gatherings.

More formal accommodation is provided by an elegant living room to the front of the house, where a bay window draws in natural light and bespoke shelving frames a central fireplace. A separate study offers a quiet retreat for home working, while above, a mezzanine snug provides an additional, highly adaptable space - ideal as a reading area, playroom or informal lounge.

The bedroom accommodation is equally well considered. Four bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, two benefitting from en-suite facilities, alongside a stylish family shower room. This arrangement offers excellent flexibility for those requiring lateral living. On the first floor, a further double bedroom enjoys elevated views, creating an ideal guest room or private principal retreat. A substantial loft area presents further potential, subject to the necessary consents.

Externally, the gardens are a defining feature. Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established hedging, they offer both privacy and space in equal measure, with plenty of scope for families, gardening or outdoor entertaining. The raised terrace provides a natural focal point, perfectly positioned to enjoy long summer evenings. To the front, a generous driveway provides ample parking in addition to the double garage.

Corbie occupies a particularly desirable position within Butleigh, one of Somerset’s most sought-after villages. Known for its strong sense of community, historic architecture and proximity to the renowned Millfield School, the village offers both rural charm and accessibility. Nearby Glastonbury and Street provide a wide range of amenities, while Castle Cary offers mainline rail connections to London Paddington.

This is a home that delivers on multiple levels - scale, flexibility, outlook and setting - one not to be missed.
