A most attractive GII listed detached home set within grounds of one acre, situated in the highly sought-after village of Drayton. Offering finely-proportioned accommodation, a wealth of character, and a magnificent garden backing onto open fields.

A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance porch, which has a frosted glazed inner door into the main hall. The hall gives access into the kitchen, breakfast room and has an opening into the sitting room.

The sitting room is located in the original half of the house and is an excellent size, with two sash windows to the front and a window and doors to the rear. The sitting room includes an inglenook fireplace at one end with an inset wood burning stove and to the other, a stone fireplace. A stone staircase from the sitting room rises to the first floor accommodation with a cupboard beneath.

In one corner of this spacious room is a bespoke bar, creating a wonderful space for entertaining.

Across the hall is a beautifully fitted, bespoke farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room, tastefully finished with a range of cream floor and wall units, a Belfast sink and white granite work surfaces. Partly divided into a kitchen and breakfast area, this attractive room has been thoughtfully designed, with soft-close units built into an inglenook fireplace, complete with lighting and a feature bread oven. Integrated within the kitchen is a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and space is provided for a freestanding range cooker. Flooring has been laid to Moroccan limestone tiles which continue through to the breakfast area, where there is an island with additional storage and a breakfast bar, a matching dresser and a lovely brick fireplace with a further inset wood burning stove.

A door to the rear of the kitchen opens into a lean-to garden room at the back of the house, which is in need of repair or replacement. This is an ideal space for the property to be extended, if desired, subject to the relevant consents. At present, there are two sets of double doors opening out to the garden and access into a separate lobby. This useful part of the residence leads through to a utility room, a WC and has an external door to the parking area at the rear.

On the eastern side of the property, a former adjoining barn has been converted, linking with the kitchen/breakfast room, and is now a fabulous family/dining room. Undoubtedly one of the main selling points of this charming period home, this well-proportioned reception room has a stunning vaulted ceiling, an exposed stone wall, two sets of oak double doors to the garden, a set of barn doors to the front and a third wood burning stove, providing a lovely focal point.

Beyond, there is a further dual-aspect room, which could be utilised as a home office or a double bedroom and has a range of fitted units and book shelving. On the first floor, a central landing has a Crittal window (continued throughout first floor rear windows) overlooking the fabulous gardens.

There are three double bedrooms on this floor, the master being dual-aspect with a dressing area and an en-suite shower room. Completing the accommodation is a good size family bathroom, fitted with a bath, a double shower cubicle, a low level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin and a tiled floor.

Langdons is located in the much favoured South Somerset village of Drayton, which is designated as a Conservation Area in order to preserve its character and the many fine period properties of various styles. The village has a parish church, a popular inn and a village hall, where there is a strong community presence with various organisations and events. Langport, just over two miles away, is a pleasant market town with excellent everyday amenities including a Tesco supermarket, banking and Post Office services, doctors' and dentists' surgeries, a veterinary surgery and excellent schooling facilities at the nearby Huish Episcopi Academy. Prestigious schools such as Millfield, Hazelgrove Prep and the Taunton trio are all reasonably accessible. Taunton enjoys a mainline rail link to London Paddington and motorway access can be gained at J24 and J25 of the M5.

Double gates to the side of the property open onto a stone chipped driveway, which leads around to the rear of the house, providing ample off-road parking. With grounds extending to just over one acre, the property is perfect for families or green-fingered buyers. Facing south, the grounds enjoy plenty of sunshine throughout the day and are predominantly laid to lawn with established borders, mature shrubs and a range of trees. A very pleasant stream runs along the eastern boundary, and the open fields behind provide a particularly peaceful setting. In addition, the outside space incorporates a patio seating area adjoining the barn conversion, a section of orchard at the bottom of the garden and field shelter. The garden is enclosed to all sides by hedging and stone walling.
