East Harptree is a very attractive village on the northern slope of the Mendip Hills overlooking the Chew Valley. It is a thriving village with a church, primary school, village hall, pub, community shop and playing field. There are numerous walks around East Harptree, walking and riding over the Mendips Hills, and sailing and fishing on Chew Valley Lake.
Richmont Place is a small and attractive development built in 2020 comprising six properties which are grouped around a central courtyard style approach. Number 5 occupies a favoured corner position overlooking the courtyard and has very pleasant views of the village and wooded hills.
Since purchasing Number 5 off-plan, the present owner has expensively upgraded the property internally and externally, carrying out a number of excellent improvements some of which include complete refurbishment of the cloakroom, full replacement of the utility room, replacing the en suite shower room and family bathroom including laying marble floors, and fitting a bespoke dresser style unit in the sitting room.
The interior is most attractive and light, and combines the contemporary with the traditional. There are engineered oak floors in the entrance hall and in the open-plan breakfast kitchen/dining/family room. There are moulded ceiling cornices in the sitting room, and moulded skirting boards and architraves throughout the house. The breakfast kitchen/dining/family room is a most striking open plan room with French doors opening to the enclosed garden. The kitchen area with central island is extremely well-equipped with units and integrated appliances. The principal bedroom with superb en suite shower room has a very pleasant outlook over the village and towards hills. There are three further bedrooms and an extremely well-fitted family bathroom.
Adjoining the house is a double garage, with solar panels and two parking spaces in front. The enclosed rear garden was designed by the present owner. The garden has a pleasant outlook either of the village or to farmland, to the south west. There is a level lawn with planted beds, and a combination of pleached beech trees, beech hedge and laurel along three borders. There is a paved patio immediately outside the dining/family room which extends to the garden area outside the sitting room. Both areas are ideal for entertaining.
