A substantial and abundantly characterful Grade II* Somerset Longhouse that was a former part of the Hutton Court estate.

Description
A unique Somerset Longhouse which formed part of the Grade II* 15th Century Hutton Court estate and is now available as a substantial, private and abundantly characterful family home with many features.

The house is accessed via a solid timber gate off the garage driveway into the sizeable garden up which a flagstone path leads to the front door. The front door opens into a spacious hall with terracotta, tiled flooring, exposed beams and plenty of space for coats, boots and pets. There is a family WC and bathroom opposite.

To the left is a charming, farmhouse-style kitchen with original flagstone flooring, solid worktops with tiled backsplash, integrated stainless steel sink, breakfast bar and ample oak wall and base units for storage. Appliances include a Rangemaster cooker with two ovens, grill, plate warmer and a six ring gas hob as well as a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer (available by separate negotiation).

Beyond the kitchen is an atmospheric dining room with continued original flagstone flooring, stone archways, exposed beams and ample space for dining large parties. The sitting room adjacent benefits from the same original features (plus window shutters) and generous proportions as well as a log burner with stone fireplace surround and a storage cupboard. A charming window seat provides delightful views over the gardens. A useful study with a characterful bay window makes for an ideal home office.

Back off the hall to the right is a second and also generously proportioned reception room with wood flooring and large Inglenook fireplace with log burner and stone hearth. This room also has charming views over the garden from the stone mullion window and makes for an ideal sitting room or family room

Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms laid out across the first flooring landing, with stone mullion windows to a number of the rooms with far-reaching views over the garden. Bedroom one commands the middle of the house and is of an excellent size with a spacious en suite bathroom with solid wood flooring, rolltop bathtub and separate walk-in rain shower. Of particular note is the characterful wood wall panelling and stunning ornamental fireplace with intricate detailing in the panelling surround. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en suite bathroom and characterful exposed timber framing and beamed ceilings. Bedroom four next door provides equal character as well as a higher, vaulted hammerbeam truss ceiling. At the other end of the landing, bedroom three benefits from a dual aspect and access to a charming Jack and Gill en suite bathroom with solid wood flooring and bath with shower over. A quirky flight of stairs leads up to a spacious characterful, beamed loft room which serves either as an occasional fifth bedroom or study in the eaves of the roof. There is a further sizeable loft space beyond, part-boarded for storage.

Externally, the gardens are substantial, making up circa 0.3 acres and comprised predominantly of extensive lawn, with a large patio area to the front of the house. Just off the patio area is a garden building providing a combination of utility room and ample storage. The lawn space is ideal for games of croquet, tennis, football or cricket. The lengthy borders are well stocked and a high surrounding stone wall provides security and privacy.

At the end of the garden is a secure, spacious, stone-built garage with concrete flooring and timber gates. There is further off-street parking available.

The property is available with no onward chain.
