Plot 4, The Otter is an elegant four-bedroom detached home that brings together relaxed countryside living, thoughtful family space and the remarkable benefits of zero-carbon technology.

Set within the exclusive Lacuna Gardens development in the sought-after Somerset village of Upper Langford, this beautifully designed home has light-filled accommodation, framed by a timeless exterior of natural White Lias stone, slate roofing and an oak-framed porch.

The ground floor is designed around everyday life. A generous kitchen and dining room forms a welcoming hub for family meals, entertaining and relaxed weekends, while the separate living room offers a calm and comfortable retreat. A practical utility room, cloakroom and plant room keep the home feeling well appointed for everyday practicality and the detached triple carport provides exceptional space for vehicles and storage.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom creates a private sanctuary, complete with a stylish en-suite. Bedroom two also enjoys its own en-suite, making it ideal for guests or older children, while two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a contemporary Bagno Design family bathroom. With four bedrooms, four bathrooms and three reception spaces, The Otter provides an exceptionally versatile setting for modern family life.

Behind its traditional character lies a home built for the future. Solar panels, battery storage, an air-source heat pump, underfloor heating, triple glazing and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery work quietly together to create a warm, fresh and highly energy-efficient home. As an Octopus Zero Bills home, it is designed to deliver zero home energy bills, subject to the applicable fair-use allowance, terms and exclusions.

Every detail has been selected to elevate daily living, including a Shaker-style kitchen with Silestone quartz worktops, a Belfast sink and Siemens appliances; engineered wood flooring across the ground floor; refined brass bathroom fittings; landscaped gardens; hard-wired Ethernet; and an EV charging point.

The Otter is a distinctive, future-ready home that offers the charm of Somerset country living without compromise.
