Lived in by the current owners since 1986, it has been a much-loved family home. ‘Oakleigh is really the story of our family as our children grew up here and the house grew with them. We added two extensions and the stone double garage, all of which now blend perfectly with the original part of the house.’ The garden, which has proved just the right size for the requirements of a family wanting to enjoy country life, has been developed over the years to embrace nature and be butterfly, bee and bird friendly. ‘Over the years, we’ve actively encouraged the wildlife in and let the garden evolve to accommodate pets – our old Labrador likes nothing better than snoozing on the lawn in the sun.’ Surrounded by beautiful rolling Somerset countryside, this property enjoys excellent links with a whole range of towns and cities, excellent schools, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and points of interest. ‘Bath only takes 20-minutes to reach and Bristol a little longer however Timsbury – a three-minute drive away – is a vibrant and sociable village with flourishing sports teams, clubs for all ages, special interest groups and a primary school.’ This is the perfect location to enjoy peace and quiet while still feeling connected. ‘When we first saw Oakleigh, we were mesmerised by its position and far reaching views over the Mendip Hills, which we still appreciate on a daily basis. ‘Being on the edge of the village we only have a few neighbours, but they are all very friendly. There are two main farms nearby, so you’ll often get views from the back bedrooms of calves in the field. It’s common to spot a deer on the hill and there are buzzards, kites and ravens aplenty.’ ‘I love – and will miss – everything about this home, especially enjoying the beautiful view out of the front bay window. I’ll also miss the essential laundry/boot room which makes easy work of dealing with a pair of muddy dogs post walk.’ ‘This has always been a happy and bright home with lots of space for entertaining, whether small cosy get-togethers or bigger celebrations such as our daughter’s wedding.’ Tenure: Freehold Utilities: Mains gas, electricity and water Local Authority: BANES Council tax: E ## Property Photos - ![Picture 1](/listings/photos/135336737/495085) - Picture 1 - ![Picture 2](/listings/photos/135336737/495089) - Picture 2 - ![Picture 3](/listings/photos/135336737/495094) - Picture 3 - ![Picture 4](/listings/photos/135336737/495098) - Picture 4 - ![Picture 5](/listings/photos/135336737/495108) - Picture 5 - ![Picture 6](/listings/photos/135336737/495112) - Picture 6 - ![Picture 7](/listings/photos/135336737/495115) - Picture 7 - ![Picture 8](/listings/photos/135336737/495123) - Picture 8 - ![Picture 9](/listings/photos/135336737/495129) - Picture 9 - ![Picture 10](/listings/photos/135336737/495135) - Picture 10 - ![Picture 11](/listings/photos/135336737/495139) - Picture 11 - ![Picture 12](/listings/photos/135336737/495145) - Picture 12 - ![Picture 13](/listings/photos/135336737/495150) - Picture 13 - ![Picture 14](/listings/photos/135336737/495155) - Picture 14 - ![Picture 15](/listings/photos/135336737/495159) - Picture 15 - ![Picture 16](/listings/photos/135336737/495164) - Picture 16 - ![Picture 17](/listings/photos/135336737/495168) - Picture 17 - ![Picture 18](/listings/photos/135336737/495172) - Picture 18 - ![Picture 19](/listings/photos/135336737/495177) - Picture 19 - ![Picture 20](/listings/photos/135336737/495179) - Picture 20 - ![Picture 21](/listings/photos/135336737/495185) - Picture 21 - ![Picture 22](/listings/photos/135336737/495189) - Picture 22 - ![Picture 23](/listings/photos/135336737/495192) - Picture 23 ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan](/listings/photos/135336737/495194) - Floorplan ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC Rating Graph](/listings/photos/135336737/495195) - EPC Rating Graph ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
