4 Bedroom Detached House
£750,000
West Stoughton, Stoughton, Somerset

Description

With vacant possession, this tranquil, secluded, rural hideaway was a much-loved four-bedroom, extended cottage on 0.8 of an acre, with double garage and outbuildings, and is now awaiting a new lease of life.

Hidden away at the end of its own private, leafy, lane, Eastfield Farm is an exciting project offering huge potential for a creative makeover. Probably dating back to the 1800s, it has been in the current ownership since 1984. In that time, it has been sympathetically extended to create a double garage, a principal bedroom with ensuite, a garden room, and had a new kitchen fitted in 2019.

The house is so tucked away that all of its views are across garden and fields, especially from the bedroom windows which look out across beautiful green vistas. The kitchen is the heart of this home with an open-plan and spacious entertaining area with ample room for dining and relaxing. Shaker-style, modern wall and base units are topped with contrasting worksurfaces and a matching island. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge, electric oven and hob. The Rayburn is an attractive focal point and provides further cooking facilities and extra warmth. A stable door opens to a rear porch where there is space for coats and boots. Further storage and space for appliances can be found in the utility area which leads through to the delightful garden room, a thoughtful addition to the house in 2008. It provides a tranquil spot, all year round, from which to enjoy the garden. In the older part of the house there are a further two reception rooms, one is a substantial dual-aspect sitting room with a woodburning stove and the other is a separate dining room next to the kitchen.

Stairs rise to a bright, spacious galleried landing which leads to the four double bedrooms, each enjoying lovely views over the open countryside. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom which is fitted with a bath and a separate shower cubicle.

The property is situated at the end of its own country lane, with a five bar gate securing it from the road. The driveway opens out in front of the house providing parking for multiple vehicles with access to the double garage. Paved terracing from the garden room offers plenty of space for seating and makes a feature of the well. Discovering the hidden gardens is a magical adventure, weaving through mature vegetation and an arbor to find concealed outbuildings (with electricity), a greenhouse, and once-productive kitchen gardens. The plot in total, including the lane, is estimated at just under .9 of an acre.
