Description

Cogley Road is a striking detached three-bedroom home located in the idyllic town of Bruton, finished to a high contemporary standard throughout. Designed with modern living in mind, the property benefits from two bathrooms, driveway parking and an array of smart features including an alarm system, digital climate control and underfloor heating throughout. Externally, the house makes an immediate impression with its blend of natural wood cladding and stone accents, while its slightly elevated, south-facing position affords far-reaching countryside views to the front.

Ground Floor
The ground floor is arranged in an open-plan layout where the living room, dining area and kitchen connect seamlessly, creating a sociable and versatile living space. The entrance hall features a stylish tile-effect vinyl floor and a modern grey front door with a side glazed panel, allowing light to filter in. To one side is a neatly finished utility room providing additional storage, space for appliances and a side door opening directly to the driveway parking. Adjacent to this sits a cloakroom with a floating WC, basin and obscured front-facing window. The kitchen is fully fitted with wood-effect wall units and white gloss base cabinetry, complemented by integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and Siemens oven and microwave. A breakfast bar sits at the centre of the space with a drink cooling cabinet beneath, subtly separating the kitchen from the dining area. Under-cabinet LED lighting, spotlights and a sleek induction hob with black glass splashback add to the contemporary feel. The dining area enjoys dual-aspect windows and comfortably accommodates a dining table, while the living room is positioned to the rear with large sliding doors opening onto the patio, a side window and a generous understairs storage cupboard.

First Floor
The first floor continues the sense of space and light, with a wide staircase leading to a bright landing complete with a rear facing window and airing cupboard. The principal bedroom is a standout feature, enjoying a large south-facing window that draws in natural light along with an additional smaller front-facing window. There is a dedicated wardrobe space with scope for fully fitted units and a stylish en-suite shower room fitted with a floating WC and basin, large walk-in shower with rainfall and hand-held attachments and a large, obscured window. Two further rear-facing double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family, guests or home working, while the family bathroom is finished to the same modern standard, offering a bath with shower over, floating WC and basin, towel rail and an obscured side window.

Outside
The front of the property is attractively landscaped with planted beds and a paved pathway leading to the front door, while driveway parking sits to the side with gated access through to the rear garden. The south-facing frontage enjoys elevated views across Bruton and open countryside. To the rear, the living room opens directly onto a paved patio area complete with lighting, electrics and an outside tap, making it an ideal space for outside dining and entertaining. Beyond, a lawned garden is fully enclosed by fencing, and gently rises with wooden steps to the side for easy access, with the rear boundary softened by Virginia creeper that flourishes through the warmer months. The garden backs onto an open field, enhancing the sense of space and countryside connection, and is complemented by a large storage shed for practical use.
