THIS impressive, three-storey residence occupies a plot of just under a third of an acre in Norton-Sub-Hamdon, an unspoilt village which has preserved its special character, with Stoke Sub Hamdon just one mile away, while Yeovil and South Petherton are within six miles.
The four-bedroom property is presented in excellent decorative order and has an abundance of character features including flagstone floors, attractive mullion windows, lovely timber doors with wrought iron door furniture, exposed brickwork and high ceilings.
Inside, the drawing room extends to almost 30 feet in length and has a triple aspect making it particularly light and airy. Its central feature is a carved hamstone fireplace housing a wood burner, while the underfloor heating and French doors further enhance the room. The substantial kitchen/dining/living room forms the heart of the home and features exposed brickwork and flagstone flooring. The kitchen has a comprehensive range of wooden units, granite worktops, a gas-fired Aga and a large island unit.
On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom with a free-standing roll-top bath. The principal bedroom benefits from a triple aspect and an ensuite shower room. On the next level, there is a good-sized third bedroom. Also on this level is a useful room, with an attractive Juliette balcony, that could be used as an office or fourth bedroom.
Outside, the plot of 0.28 acres has been carefully landscaped to accommodate both formal and wild gardens. The formal garden sits next to the house and features a large patio, a sizeable lawn, an attractive pond, shaped borders with an abundance of mature shrubs and a number of mature trees including a stunning weeping willow.
Beyond the formal garden, there is a beautiful wild retreat with several mature trees, woodchip pathways, and a lovely natural pond that is a haven for wildlife.
Also in the garden, is a super lodge with annexe potential that benefits from first-floor accommodation.
At the side of the property, the driveway provides parking space for two or three vehicles and leads to a small garage.
