This week's standout home isn't technically in Wells — but it's close enough to count, especially when the views are this good.

Tucked away in the hamlet of Cocklake (yes, really) just outside Wedmore, this beautifully renovated five-bedroom house is on the market with Sandersons in Wells with a guide price of £950,000. And while the price might raise an eyebrow, the house more than earns it — with sweeping Mendip views, serious interior glow-up energy, and enough outbuildings to start your own hobby-based empire. You can see the full listing via Sandersons here.

Let's start with the obvious: the views. From the raised sun terrace and oak-framed living room, you'll be gazing across fields towards Cheddar Gorge like you're in a Visit Somerset brochure. And you'll be doing it in style — because this house blends 200-year-old period charm with a modern extension so tasteful even Kevin McCloud might raise a quiet, approving eyebrow.

Inside, there's a flagstone-floored hallway, an Aga-warmed kitchen, and a triple-aspect living room with oak windows and underfloor heating.

There's also a log burner or two — because obviously. The sitting room still has its original inglenook fireplace, and there's a generous utility room, a downstairs shower room and more character than an entire series of Grand Designs.

The upstairs continues the high-spec theme with five bedrooms, including a principal suite complete with dressing room and en-suite. A separate guest suite gives visitors space to pretend they live here too, while the rest of the bedrooms are anything but boxy.

Outside, there's just over 0.75 acres of garden to swan about in, complete with mature trees, a zip wire (because why not), and an almost suspicious number of barns and outbuildings — all with light and power. Whether you're dreaming of a studio, an office, or your own little empire of artisan preserves, this house has the space. Take a closer look at the property and its outbuildings here.

The location — Cocklake, just over a mile from Wedmore — gives you that countryside peace and quiet, but with easy access to the M5, Bristol, and top-rated local schools. Wedmore itself has three pubs, two cafés, and enough independent shops to tick all your "move to the country" boxes. It's a lifestyle, not just a location.

This handsome, fully refurbished home is available with no onward chain, which makes things even more tempting. If you're ready to start picturing yourself having coffee on that sun-drenched terrace, you'll want to check out the full details via Sandersons.
