Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • 1.86 acres
  • Sought after hamlet.
  • Annexe
  • Generous family home
  • Period, Lias stone cottage
  • Superb outbuildings
A substantial detached period Lias stone cottage in the sought after hamlet of Upton, Long Sutton, with an integral annexe, outbuildings and attractive views, set within superb grounds totalling 1.86 acres.

Coming to the market for the first time in almost 60 years, Rowley House is a superb detached home offering incredible potential to create a stunning, private residence with the use of flexible outbuildings set within an outstanding plot totalling 1.86 acres.
The property is accessed via a door to the front leading to an internal porch, leading directly to the family sitting room, with double glazed window to the front, beautiful flagstone floor and a concealed fireplace.
A door to the rear of the sitting room leads through to the generous kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of wall and base units, with wooden worktops and tiled splashbacks over, double electric eye-level ovens, gas hob with chimney-style hood over, stainless steel sink with drainer and space and plumbing for a dishwasher.
Adjoining the kitchen is a rear hallway, fitted with pantry storage and space for an American-style fridge/freezer and original stone stairs leading to the first floor landing. A door to the rear leads to the conservatory/dining room, offering stunning views over countryside to the north. A double glazed door to the left leads out to the garden, and a further door to the right gives access to a utility area with work surfaces and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
An opening from the back hallway leads into the ground floor study, with flagstone floor and a double glazed window to the front. The study offers the potential to create a grand entrance hallway in the future, should the property be further reconfigured. The study provides access to the ground floor annexe, an extension added by the current owners, finished to a super standard.
The 19ft sitting room is carpeted with double glazed window to the front and French doors to the rear leading to the patio. Beyond the sitting room is a hallway with a large storage cupboard, leading to the wet room and bedroom.
The wet room is fitted to an excellent standard with a suite of low level WC, basin within a vanity unit and walk-in shower.
Stone stairs from the entrance hall lead to the first floor landing, where there is a fantastic mezzanine snug, offering an ideal play area for the kids, or reading space. The main hallway benefits from beautiful exposed lias stone and provides access to all four first floor bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The first floor benefits from four double bedrooms, all carpeted and enjoying double glazed windows offering views over the substantial plot. Bedroom two provides access to a superbly convenient attic storage space.
The family bathroom is part-tiled and fitted with a suite of low-level WC, bath with shower over and basin within a bespoke vanity unit. Additionally to the first floor is a further WC.

Upton is a small hamlet mostly comprising individual properties situated less than a mile from the popular village of Long Sutton with its active church, primary school and the popular Devonshire Arms.

The busy market town of Langport is about three miles away where there is an excellent range of everyday amenities including supermarket, shops, banking and post office services, doctors' and dentists' surgeries, library, veterinary surgery and primary school and Academy with its adjoining sixth form and sports centre is nearby.

The county town of Taunton is about 14 miles to the west with its private schools and access to the M5 motorway and main line railway station. The A303 (linking with the M3) is about 7 miles to the east.

The property is accessed via a shared driveway, currently passing two other properties. A plan and consent is however in place for a new driveway to be added to the south of the plot, giving the potential to create an incredibly private plot.
The driveway leads to a generous parking area, offering parking for several cars.
Totalling 1.86 acres, Rowley House occupies a generous and varied plot, mostly laid to lawn, enclosed by fencing and hedging.
The immediate area to the side of the house offers a more formal garden space, laid to patio and artificial grass, offering a low-maintenance family space, from which the peaceful surroundings can be enjoyed.
Within the grounds are a number of useful outbuildings including a stone shed attached to the property, containing the gas central heating boiler.
Close to the house is a tin shed and to the west is a large timber barn, offering the potential to create a workshop/office or studio space.
