Description
An energy efficient modern detached Family Home with spacious extended accommodation, offering 5 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, recently refurbished Kitchen/Dining Room, Garage, Ample Parking and garden. EPC Band B.
Situation - St James Park is a small, sought-after development tucked away at the end of Preston Road, offering both convenience and access to open countryside. An Asda supermarket is within walking distance, while a variety of countryside walks can be enjoyed nearby.
The property is well positioned for access to Yeovil town centre, just over 2 miles away, and the A303, which lies around 4 miles to the north. For leisure and outdoor pursuits, the stunning Ham Hill Country Park and the historic village of Montacute, home to the glorious National Trust property, are also within easy reach.
Description - St James Park is an attractive, detached family home, originally built in the 1980s and thoughtfully extended over the years to create generous living space. The property features reconstituted stone elevations with brick detailing beneath a tiled roof, and benefits from full double glazing and gas central heating.
A particular highlight is the property's energy efficiency: 17 solar panels are installed across the east and west roof elevations, supported by a 13.6 kW Tesla Powerwall 2 battery, helping to significantly reduce energy costs.
Inside, the accommodation is spacious and well-suited to modern family living, offering five bedrooms and versatile living areas. Outside, there is ample parking to the front and a manageable, enclosed rear garden, providing a safe and private space for relaxation or play.
Accommodation - The property occupies a slightly elevated position, approached via a generous tarmac driveway with ample parking and a paved pathway leading under a canopy porch to the front door.
On entering, the hallway sets the tone with modern lime-washed engineered oak flooring that runs throughout the ground floor. The entrance hall features a cloakroom with WC, wash hand basin, part-tiled walls, a useful cloaks cupboard, and an additional understairs storage cupboard.
The Sitting Room is a spacious, dual-aspect reception with an inset gas fire set within a stone and wood surround. Sliding doors open into the conservatory, a light and versatile space with views over the rear garden.
To the back of the house lies the Kitchen/Dining Room, a superb family hub. Refitted in 2024, it offers a sleek, contemporary design with wall and floor units, wood work surfaces, tiled splashbacks, and a central island with additional storage. Integrated features include a full-height pull-out larder unit, with space for a dishwasher, freestanding cooker, and fridge/freezer. Sliding doors provide direct access to the garden, creating excellent indoor-outdoor flow. The dining area easily accommodates a large family table.
From the kitchen, a door leads into the integral garage, which is tiled and fitted with an up-and-over door, power, and lighting. There is plumbing for a washing machine, the inverter and controls for the solar panels and Tesla battery, and a wall-mounted Vaillant gas-fired boiler (replaced around 7 years ago).
Upstairs, painted stairs with a carpet runner rise to a generous landing, also finished with oak flooring. There is an airing cupboard with shelving, and access to two loft hatches, the larger loft being boarded.
The first floor offers five bedrooms-three doubles and two singles. The principal bedroom features built-in double wardrobes and access to a versatile 'Jack and Jill' shower room, also accessible from the landing. This spacious shower room includes a wash hand basin, WC, bidet, fully tiled shower cubicle, and a large storage cupboard. Bedroom 2 benefits from a built-in storage cupboard, while two of the remaining three bedrooms also include fitted storage.
A family bathroom completes the accommodation, comprising a bath with shower over, tiled surrounds, wash hand basin, WC, and heated towel rail.
Outside - To the front of the property, a generous tarmac driveway provides ample parking and turning space for 3-4 cars, framed by mature trees and established shrub borders. A side wooden gate offers access to the rear, where an electric car charging point is also conveniently positioned.
The rear garden is private, compact, and designed for easy maintenance, being fully enclosed by fencing with a small lawn and attractive shrub borders. A wooden gazebo with polycarbonate roofing creates a sheltered space for outdoor dining and entertaining, making it usable even on duller days. Pathways extend to both sides of the property-one leading to the front gate and the other to a practical lean-to shed, perfect for storage.
