If you're planning a group getaway or a stay for a special occasion, then this strikingly modern home in the pretty village of Oakhill will be just the ticket. Just 4 miles from Shepton Mallet and 5 miles from the cathedral city of Wells, it's perfect for gathering friends and family who want plenty to do without straying too far.

Golfers will love the proximity to Mendip Golf Club (1 mile), while others may opt for a trek across the Mendip Hills (6.5 miles) before meeting back up later in the nearby pub (0.5 miles). Days are easy to fill, whether it's exploring legendary Wookey Hole Caves (9 miles), sailing or fishing in Chew Valley (12 miles), or heading to Bath (16 miles) for a soak in their stately Roman Baths.

Enter this beautiful, contemporary home and pop down bags and coats in the vaulted entrance hall, where you'll find a WC and access to the open-plan kitchen/family room. Designed with socialising in mind, perch at the breakfast bar while you catch up with friends.

This high-spec space is a joy to cook in and contains everything needed for easy group catering. Dual aspect windows invite lots of light into the space as you stretch out on the huge family sofa and comfy bean bags, and flick on the 98" cinema-experience Smart TV featuring Sky TV with Sonos soundbar to immerse yourself in a blockbuster.

You’ll also find a handy utility room. When it's time for dinner, gather in the adjacent dining room with a dining table, seating up to 14.

This lovely dining space overlooks the garden and is perfect for keeping an eye on little ones. The large lounge offers a warming ambience that invites the whole family to unwind; with the wood burner glowing intently and a Smart TV, the scene is set for pure relaxation.
