If your idea of luxury includes underfloor heating, your own tennis court and more wine storage than you technically need, Lakeside at Wellesley Park might be your kind of place.

On the market with Sandersons in Wells for £900,000, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom semi-detached home is tucked inside a private estate just outside Wells — and it's one of the best-located properties on the entire development.

Think lake views, landscaped grounds, and a garden that wraps around two sides of the house like it knows how good the sunsets are.

Inside, it's all clean lines, huge windows and light-flooded spaces. The open-plan living area has a bespoke kitchen with quartz-topped island, double Neff ovens, two wine fridges (because obviously), and enough larder storage to host Christmas twice over.

Every inch is finished to a high spec — we're talking engineered oak floors, remote-controlled blinds, and built-in wardrobes with automatic lighting. Yes, really.

Downstairs you'll find two generous en-suite bedrooms, while the two upstairs rooms (also en suite) are tucked into the eaves with skylights, storage and views across the Dulcote quarry.

One is currently used as a second lounge, perfect for anyone who enjoys sunrise views with their morning coffee and a quiet moment before the inbox chaos begins.

Outside, the south-facing terrace leads onto a private lawn with uninterrupted countryside views. You'll also get two allocated parking spaces and a lockable outbuilding with power and water — perfect for bikes, tools, or just hiding things you don't want to deal with.

And while the house is gorgeous, the real kicker here is what comes with it. Owners at Wellesley Park get exclusive access to a spa with an indoor pool, sauna, Turkish steam room, gym, tennis court and a reading room with views that make you forget you ever scrolled social media.

There's even a guest apartment on site you can book at a discounted rate when family turns up and "just needs somewhere for a night or two."

You can view the full listing and photo gallery with Sandersons here — but fair warning, it may ruin you for normal houses.

Also worth noting: Lakeside isn't for full-time occupancy, so it's not your forever home — but it is your perfectly-kept, always-ready, turn-key countryside bolthole. Or, with a peak rental potential of up to £3,000 a week, your very stylish side hustle.

Sound tempting? Take a proper look at Lakeside here — and start imagining your mornings with a swim and your evenings with a sunset and something cold from fridge number two.
