A striking period property occupying an elevated position with breathtaking views over open countryside. In all about 2 acres.
This attractive property appears to date back to the 1800’s and has been extended in the 1930’s and fully renovated in 1998. The house enjoys an exceptional hillside location with sweeping views across the Tone valley to the Blackdown Hills. The accommodation has been well maintained enjoying gas fired central heating, UPVC double glazing, Solar PV and Solar Thermal making it economical to run. In brief, it comprises an entrance porch which leads through to the hallway with stairs rising to the first floor, complete with WC. The living room is a particularly enchanting room enjoying a dual aspect with bay window, taking full advantage of the views together with an open fireplace. Adjoining the hall, is a formal dining room again with bay window and a door off leads through to the kitchen, complete with fitted wall and base units, Aga and stainless-steel sink with drainer. A utility room can be found to the rear and French doors lead out to a breakfast room with views over the gardens. Upstairs, to the left is a generous double bedroom with bay window and fitted wardrobes along with a separate single bedroom. The landing accommodates a linen cupboard, shower room, and a door leads through to the master bedroom which is of generous proportions enjoying an ensuite. At present a connecting door leads to what is currently used as a study with walk in dressing room, but a corridor could be constructed to provide additional living accommodation if required. The loft space is boarded and also has the opportunity to be remodelled to provide extra living space subject to planning permission if required.
To fully appreciate the position and charm of this superb property, a viewing is highly recommended.
