4 bedroom detached house for sale

A beautifully presented 4 bedroom character property in an enviable location on the edge of a desirable South Somerset village with delightful gardens all set in approx 2.1 Acres. EPC: Band D

Tucked away on the fringe of the popular and desirable village of Tatworth, Wyndhams is a fine example of a late 18th Century character cottage which has been sympathetically restored to a high standard while retaining its character and many original features. The property was originally built as two cottages which explains the generous room proportions both on the ground floor and in the upstairs rooms, which are unusually light and spacious, but has spent much of its life as a single dwelling.

The plot extends to approx 2.2 acres, which includes extensive gardens, a paddock and access through a wooded glade to the nearby SSSI protected 7 acre Stowell water meadow. Wyndhams holds Stowell Court Rights (since 1832) meaning the owners are invited to participate in an annual Candle Auction, to determine who will enjoy grazing rights on the meadow.

The beautifully presented accommodation comprises an entrance/reception hall, kitchen/breakfast room with an AGA, hand-built kitchen with adjacent garden room, double aspect dining/drawing room with fireplace and wood-burner, double aspect sitting room with wood burner, utility, study and boot room on the ground floor. Upstairs there are four bright bedrooms, one with en-suite, another with triple aspect and superb views over the garden, a generous landing and a family bathroom. For layout and approximate room measurement please see the enclosed floorplan.

The front of the property is accessed via a quiet lane through double five-bar gates onto a private drive. The gravelled entrance provides access to the garden, parking area and outbuildings, which include a double carport/log store and 2 garage/workshops. There is an additional gated entrance from the lane giving direct access to the paddock.

The large, open, sunny garden has been designed and richly planted for all year round colour and interest.
This garden offers something for everyone with sweeping lawns, an abundance of ornamental trees and shrubs, well stocked herbaceous borders, vegetable beds and spring bulbs, together with a garden studio and fine greenhouse. There are several seating areas designed to take advantage of the views over the meadow to the hills beyond.

Enviably located on the fringe of the old part of Tatworth, a thriving residential village some 2½ miles to the South of Chard.
