Description
A Grade II Listed two-bedroom residence offering well-proportioned, light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors. Enjoying countryside views to the rear, the property benefits from landscaped gardens and a garage, and is set within a highly sought after village location.
The Dwelling - Believed to date back to the 18th century, this Grade II Listed property has been thoughtfully extended at ground floor level to provide a spacious kitchen, with a loft conversion creating a second bedroom. The property is well presented throughout, retaining a wealth of period features, and benefits from a delightful landscaped garden backing onto open fields.
Accommodation - Accessed via an enclosed porch, the property opens into a welcoming living room, offering generous space for both living and dining furniture. A passageway leads through to the staircase with the kitchen positioned to the rear. Between these rooms is a highly useful utility area, providing space and plumbing for white goods, with further potential to be utilised as a cloakroom.
The kitchen is well appointed with ample cabinetry to cater for everyday culinary needs, incorporating an integrated fridge and space for a dishwasher. There is also sufficient room for informal seating, and the room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom is situated at the front of the property and benefits from ample built-in wardrobes. The bathroom comprises a complete white suite and features a window with views across the neighbouring countryside. A cupboard houses the boiler and provides additional storage.
The second floor gives access to the second bedroom, a spacious room enhanced by skylights overlooking the surrounding countryside, along with access to useful eaves storage.
Garden - To the rear, the garden has been beautifully landscaped, featuring a patio area immediately adjoining the property. Beyond this lies a lawned section bordered by well-established beds planted with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. A further gravelled area provides an additional seating space, creating distinct zones within the garden.
At the rear boundary stands a stone-built shed offering useful external storage, together with a gate providing direct access to the neighbouring footpath - ideal for enjoying walks through the surrounding Somerset countryside.
