Railway's End was originally constructed in 2003 and situated on the site of the old railway station tea rooms. It has since been carefully maintained, thoughtfully developed and meticulously extended to create the stunning and versatile home it is today. Whilst set in a peaceful, tranquil and beautiful location just a stone's throw from Blagdon Lake, the popular village of Blagdon is also just a short walk away.
The current owners have enhanced the property further, adding a spectacular wing. The perfect blend of bespoke architectural features and contemporary comfort. The exceptional standard of the construction was recognised by the LABC Regional Building Excellence Awards 2013, where it was a finalist in the category for best domestic extension or alteration.
This home is characterized by the use of high-quality natural materials, elegance and an abundance of natural light throughout.
Railway's End is approached via a pretty gravelled driveway softened by the sensitively and creatively designed border planting that continues as a feature throughout all the outside spaces.
You are welcomed by an attractive oak storm porch into the bright, smart and inviting oak floored hallway. A well-positioned downstairs cloakroom sits to the left and opposite is the snug with feature stone fireplace, log burner, built in bookshelves and French doors to the stunning gardens beyond.
To the left is the spacious and stylish fully fitted kitchen including granite worktops and porcelain floor tiles together with a traditional AGA range. Integrated appliances include a wine fridge, Neff induction hob and hide and slide oven, microwave, warming drawer, fridge/freezer and additional large fridge. There is also space for a washing machine and tumble dryer in the practical and airy zoned utility area beyond. Flowing from the kitchen is the fabulous dining area with magnificent, vaulted ceiling, charming arched window and French doors to the gardens and outside terrace. There is plenty of room for dining and sitting and the perfect space to entertain family and friends. There is also potential here to create a fourth 1st floor bedroom, subject to the necessary consents.
To the right of the hall is a smart study continuing through to the fantastic principal reception room. A sophisticated, extensive and wonderful space with a real sense of warmth and country cosiness despite its generous size. It has engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating, triple aspect windows, french doors and a large fireplace with log burner. As with all the rooms in this special home there is a seamless blend of the inside and outside spaces and a strong connection to the gardens and natural world.
Rising to the first floor passing a striking stained glass feature window there are three lovely comfortable double bedrooms, two of which feature an ensuite bathroom, and all of which benefit from fantastic rural views. The principal bedroom is serene, stunningly designed and very spacious. Built in wardrobes, a window seat, bespoke shelving and access to a delightful, decked and canopied balcony complete this suite. Morning coffee is a peaceful treat here. There is a further well-appointed bathroom completing the upstairs accommodation.
Outside - The abundantly planted, naturistically designed gardens at Railways End are exceptional. They brim with well-considered colour, texture, and movement and connect perfectly with the nature rich countryside beyond. There is a plethora of trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses and wildflowers along with raised beds, shed and garden utility area. In addition, there are relaxing garden seating and spacious terraced areas throughout this outdoor haven. Finally, this splendid home benefits from a handsome garage with mezzanine storage, carport and driveway with parking for multiple vehicles.
