Our team at GTH have the real privilege of offering this substantial 4 bedroom detached, versatile and stand-alone village residence, with incredible living accommodation, awe-inspiring grounds extending to a quarter of an acre, endless views, parking, double garage and situated on a private and exclusive development in one of South Somerset’s most renowned villages.


A remarkable and individual four bedroom country residence occupying a generous plot on a private and exclusive development in the favoured village of Seavington St Mary with stunning gardens and countryside views. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/family room, utility, study, WC and garage to the ground floor with four bedrooms (two ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. With nearly 2,200 sq ft of accommodation, Amherst provides the most spacious and luxurious setting for family life and those who love to host. The current owners have transformed what was already a fabulous home, into something that is utterly exceptional and undoubtedly the envy of any guest. Stylish interior design is perfectly complemented with modern, open-plan living with quality and exquisite finishes at every turn. The heart of the home has to be the divine, part-vaulted and sumptuously finished kitchen/breakfast/family room with direct access out to the gardens. It’s a wonderful and sociable space for entertaining and has direct access into the formal dining room, ideal for those who love to host. The triple aspect sitting room is the perfect setting to unwind, particularly in the colder months, thanks to a Hamstone surround fireplace and wood burner, offering practical warmth and an attractive focal point. For those needing to work from home the designated study will prove of particular note whilst discerning buyers will also appreciate the option of utilising it as a further bedroom or reception room. It is also worth mentioning that for anyone looking at multi-generational living, the study and utility could be combined (subject to the necessary consents) to create a self-contained annexe. The double garage has been extended and could serve a number of uses including work shop, gym and obviously, for its traditional use of accommodating vehicles. To the first floor all the bedrooms are considered doubles with the two larger having the luxury of their own ensuites and the remaining two being serviced by the family bathroom. The master bedroom is of particular note given it has a fabulous walk-in wardrobe, elevated views over the garden and open-countryside beyond and having both a bath and separate shower in the ensuite. The dream home for families and those looking for idyllic village life in close proximity of excellent amenities and communication links.
