This bright and generously proportioned detached home offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained village property with far-reaching countryside views towards the iconic Alfred's Tower. Constructed in the late 1990s the house combines practical family living with charming characterful touches, creating a warm and welcoming home that is presented in excellent order throughout. The property enjoys an attractive frontage set behind a low stone wall, with ample space for planting and colourful borders. A traditional picket fence and pathway lead to the front door, creating an appealing first impression in keeping with the village setting.
You are welcomed into a useful entrance porch which opens into a spacious and inviting reception hall. From here, doors lead to the ground floor rooms including a downstairs WC, sitting room, dining room and kitchen, along with a practical understairs storage cupboard. The sitting room is a particularly appealing space, enjoying a dual aspect with a large window overlooking the front garden and sliding doors opening directly onto the rear patio and garden beyond. A log burner provides a charming focal point to the room, creating a cosy atmosphere during the colder months while allowing the space to remain bright and airy throughout the year. To the front of the property sits the kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of country-style shaker units offering generous storage and worktop space. There is ample room for freestanding appliances, while a striking two-door Rangemaster stove forms the centrepiece of the room. Herringbone flooring adds further character and warmth to the space. The kitchen flows naturally into a separate utility room which provides additional storage, laundry space and convenient access out to the garden. Positioned to the rear of the house is the formal dining room, an elegant room ideal for entertaining, with French doors opening directly onto the garden terrace. From here there is access to a useful study, which enjoys a large window overlooking the garden and provides an excellent space for home working or reading.
On the first floor the accommodation continues to impress. The master bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook across the garden and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms provide generous accommodation and are served by the family bathroom. A linen cupboard on the landing offers further practical storage.
Externally, the gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property. The garden wraps around the side of the house and offers a series of level lawned areas bordered by established hedging and mature shrubs, creating a private and colourful outdoor space. Immediately adjoining the house is a patio terrace providing ample room for outdoor seating and dining. A glass-covered terrace allows this space to be enjoyed throughout much of the year. For those with green fingers, the garden also includes a vegetable patch, greenhouse and a charming potting shed, offering excellent opportunities for gardening and growing. To the side of the property, a driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles and leads to a single garage. Enjoying an enviable village setting with delightful countryside views and beautifully balanced accommodation throughout, this is a superb opportunity to acquire a much-loved home in one of Somerset’s most desirable rural communities.
