A small gabled porch leads you into the sitting room, an inviting space full of natural light thanks to its dual aspect windows, and centred around a striking open fireplace. From here, you can access the separate dining room, perfect for entertaining or family meals, and the spacious kitchen, which runs across the rear of the property. The kitchen is a true heart-of-the-home, with plenty of space for a large dining table, a generous range of wall and floor units, ample worktop space and a large range cooker. Exposed beams add character, and the room opens out into a bright conservatory, ideal for year-round enjoyment of the gardens.
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, two doubles and a single, as well as a large family bathroom complete with corner freestanding bath and separate shower. From the upper floors, you’ll enjoy far-reaching views over neighbouring farmland and the rolling Somerset hills beyond.
Outside, the gardens are an absolute delight. Carefully landscaped and well maintained, they offer a mix of gravel paths, colourful borders, mature planting, two lawned areas and a charming patio nook for outdoor dining. Several seating spots around the garden provide the perfect place to relax and take in the uninterrupted countryside views. To the side of the garden is ample driveway parking, along with a detached double garage which includes a workshop and a large loft room above. Subject to the necessary consents, this space could be adapted for a range of uses - home office, studio or guest accommodation. With its blend of character, comfort and a stunning village setting, Hermitage Lodge is a truly special home that’s sure to appeal to buyers looking for a peaceful rural lifestyle without compromising on space or style.
