Located in Beckington and tucked away just behind Goose Street is this characterful semi-detached house with three bedrooms, an adjoining one-bedroom cottage, a large garden and parking.
The property could easily be returned to one dwelling (prior to purchase) if desired, or the layout could just as easily suit multi-generational living or extra income potential. The main entrance opens into a porch with an internal door opening into a large reception room which has original wooden floorboards, two fireplaces, one with a wood burning stove and windows overlooking the drive. A passageway leads to the kitchen which is fitted with cupboards beneath wooden worktops and open shelving above. There is space for a washing machine, dishwasher and under counter fridge and freezer, as well as a doorway to the drive. From the living room there is a staircase to the first-floor landing where there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The adjoining cottage is accessed through French doors at the front of the property, which open into a reception room with open plan kitchen living and dining and a fireplace with a stone surround. A staircase leads up to a large double bedroom with a feature fireplace and exposed beams and a bathroom.
Outside there are substantial gardens covering a surprisingly large area, 100m long, with several individual areas. There is a large, raised sun-terrace close to the kitchen, perfect for alfresco dining, and steps from here take you up to a large lawn enclosed by mature hedges and trees, including a very productive apple. At the top of this lawn a stone archway leads to another lawn where a large cabin (7m x 3m) sits on a raised decking area. This cosy cabin has power and lighting and is an asset to summer living or could easily be used as an office/workspace/craft studio. This lawn has another useful shed and it leads up to a woodland area with a pathway up to the top garden. This bright and sunny part of the garden has been used as a successful and productive vegetable growing area. The drive provides parking for two vehicles and there is built in storage, shed/workshop and a log store.
Beckington is a vibrant Somerset village with an array of amenities including Beckington C of E First School, Springmead Prep School, a church, a doctor’s surgery, a cricket and tennis club, two public houses plus a delicatessen/café, an M&S convenience store within the petrol station and a farm shop close by. The city of Bath is ten miles away and the town of Frome under two miles with many amenities, including good schools, two theatres, a cinema and a station with rail links to Bath, Bristol and London Paddington.
