Description
Situated on the outskirts of West Huntspill, this property is set back from the road, with a generous parking area at the front and access to the garage. A part-glazed front door opens into a spacious hallway, offering access to the sitting room and study at the front of the house, both of which feature bay windows with fitted blinds. The study flows into the dining room, and both rooms share a central bio-ethanol ‘real flame’ fireplace. Additionally, the ground floor includes a cosy sitting room, which could also serve as a fifth bedroom, complete with an ornate wooden fireplace, feature fire basket, and a side-facing window. At the rear of the house is the magnificent open-plan kitchen/family room.

The kitchen has been expertly upgraded and now boasts a range of painted cupboards, a central island with breakfast bar, a Countrychef 8-burner range cooker and extractor hood, granite work surfaces, a butler sink, and integrated appliances, including a microwave, coffee machine, and dishwasher. There is also an American-style fridge/freezer and a wine rack. The family room extension at the rear features a striking roof light that floods the space with natural light, underfloor heating, and bifold doors that open onto a sun-filled paved terrace. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generously sized utility room with additional cupboard space, a wooden work surface, plumbing for a washing machine, a sink, and a walk-in cupboard housing the tumble dryer. A downstairs WC and a passageway to the dining room with a glazed door and further cupboards, serve as a cloakroom/store.

Upstairs
A staircase from the hallway leads to a light and spacious landing, which opens into three double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The double bedrooms feature a range of fitted wardrobes, with the principle bedroom also benefiting from an en suite shower room. The recently refurbished family bathroom includes a bath, a shower cubicle, a basin, and a WC, with an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank. The property is well-equipped with storage throughout, including a boarded roof space.

Outside
The delightful, south-east facing garden is mostly walled and features a well-established rockery, a lawn, and a variety of mature trees and shrubs, including a stunning cherry blossom, a crab apple, and apple trees. At the immediate rear of the house is a sun-drenched paved terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, complete with outdoor lighting. Beyond this, a second terrace at the rear of the garden captures the last rays of the day's sun and also includes a brick-built storage shed/workshop. Beyond the garden wall, open fields provide a tranquil rural setting, occasionally home to grazing sheep. A driveway runs along the side of the house to a single garage with an up-and-over door, while a set of double doors leads to the rear garden.
