3 bed detached house for sale

Overton, Wincanton, Somerset BA9

A distinctive three-bedroom house with stunning views across the Blackmore Vale that is perfect for multi-generation households or those working from home. This split-level property, spanning three floors, requires updating but has the benefit of two new kitchens and en-suites, exquisite parquet flooring in the kitchen, hallway and bedroom of the lower ground floor and an outbuilding suitable for use as a workshop/studio/office space. Conveniently located within easy walking distance of Wincanton town centre, this home must be viewed to appreciate all it has to offer.

Entering the property on the ground floor, the hallway allows space for coats and shoes and to the left a boiler room sits next to a shower which is no longer in use. A door leads through to the reception hall with bathroom to the left. Opposite, adjacent stairs lead to the ground and second floor. The hallway continues into the dining room with two storage cupboards and kitchen beyond. The kitchen, with cream wall and base units and attractive wood effect worktop, is fitted with a stainless-steel 1 1⁄2 bowl sink and drainer and electric oven, 5-ring gas hob and extractor over. There are ample cupboards, one under counter space and room for a fridge/freezer. A door leads through to a utility with plumbing for a washing machine and a small wall-mounted corner sink with rear door providing easy access to the driveway.

The lower ground floor has the option of being a self-contained apartment with a fully fitted kitchen, en-suite bedroom and large sitting room. The kitchen, with cream shaker style wall and base units and wood effect worktop, is fitted with a single oven, electric hob and extractor, stainless-steel single bowl sink and drainer, room for a fridge/freezer and two large wall cupboards providing ample storage. A door leads out into the rear garden. The bedroom, with South facing window has an en-suite with WC, Mira Relate corner shower, with mermaid board surround, and sink. The sitting room is a large room with built-in shelves, high set windows on one wall, sliding doors to decking in the rear garden and a brick fireplace with surround that creates a focal point.

The first floor provides two double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and one with floor to ceiling cupboards with access to the loft space, which is fully boarded. The sitting room is an inviting space with windows along one wall and a door into the sunroom that spans the length of the lounge. The triple aspect sunroom provides fabulous views across the Blackmore Vale which can also be enjoyed from the sitting room. However, it must be noted that the some of the double-glazed windows need replacement.

The Outside
The front door of the property is located at the end of a no-through road. Double gates open to a gravelled driveway with private parking for several cars with external doors into the utility room on the ground floor and the kitchen on the lower ground floor. A large studio with lighting and electricity is the perfect space for a home office, games room or gymnasium. A store, with external access door, also makes up a section of the studio.

Steps, next to raised planted borders, and a sloped pathway, lead down to the rear garden which is mostly laid to lawn and enjoys a decking area accessible from the lounge on the lower ground floor. The garden is bordered on all sides by closeboard fencing and enjoys privacy as it sits on the lower ground floor level.
