4 bedroom detached house for sale

A generous, 4-bed detached family home occupying a truly superb 0.51 acre plot of wrap-around, meadow-esque gardens, in the highly desirable hamlet of Knole, Long Sutton, with planning permission to further enhance.

Sitting enviously in the center of a truly fabulous plot at the heart of the delightful hamlet of Knole, Long Sutton, Charnwood is a generous, detached 4-bedroomed home, with existing planning permission to create something even more stunning within the existing confines (22/00396/HOU).

The house is accessed from the front via an obscure-glazed composite door that leads through to a wide entrance hallway, laid to carpet and featuring stairs to the first floor with handy storage cupboard underneath. To the left of the hallway is the triple aspect sitting room, incredibly light and airy and hosting a feature Lias stone fireplace with Lias hearth. On from the sitting room is the garden room – another triple aspect room creating a fabulous, bright reception area with French doors out onto a south-facing garden patio terrace. A small loft space is available from the garden room.
On the opposite side of the hallway lies the superb kitchen/diner, a versatile space great for entertaining.
The room is laid with wood-effect vinyl flooring and recently fitted with a range of wall and base units with marble effect worktops, induction hob with tile splashback over, integrated appliances including eye-level oven and microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and a one-and-a-half stainless steel sink with drainer. The kitchen leads through to a small rear lobby and a downstairs cloakroom, fitted with low-level WC and hand basin.

Carpeted U-shaped stairs rise from the hall to the first floor landing, with a large window in the stairwell overlooking the rear garden, and a handy airing cupboard located at the top of the stairs. To the right are two large double bedrooms, each laid with carpet and featuring large integrated wardrobes, and to the left lies the family bathroom, fitted with a suite of bath with shower over, low-level WC, hand basin in vanity unit, in addition to a heated towel rail. The remaining two double bedrooms are accessed through an additional room that would work great as an office, or as a 4th bedroom as per the planning permission, which entails creating a large master suite with dressing room and en-suite.

Charnwood is situated on the north edge of the attractive hamlet of Knole, which boasts numerous picturesque period houses and cottages set amongst beautiful countryside.

The nearby village of Long Sutton has a variety of amenities including community shop, primary school, Devonshire Arms Hotel, Lime Kiln Inn and 18 hole golf course. Long Sutton also has an attractive village green overlooked by the ancient parish church and village hall with adjoining sports field and tennis courts. The larger centres of Somerton (3.5 miles), Martock (4.5 miles) and Langport (5 miles) are readily accessible and offer good shopping, educational and recreational facilities. The administrative town of Yeovil is within 10 miles and the County Town of Taunton with its excellent road and rail links is about half an hour's drive.

Charnwood’s enviable garden wraps around the entire house and is where the property really shines. The fully enclosed half-acre plot is a true nature lover’s retreat, where the majority of the lawn is left long and meadow-esque, with mowed paths interspersed throughout. A myriad of both established and young trees & shrubs are strategically placed across the garden, with a couple of larger congregations of shrubs and bushes in the rear garden providing a truly beautiful backdrop to the home. To the one corner sits a large, south-facing, recently erected summer house, and at the opposite side, numerous raised beds currently seeded with a variety of fruits and vegetables. A pair of large trees provided a welcome, secluded retreat from the sun, and further down the side sits a pair of sheds along with a greenhouse and the air source heat pump. Accessible from the garden room is a patio terrace area; south facing and perfect for al-fresco dining. A tarmac driveway extends up from the road with gated access, providing sufficient parking for a handful of vehicles, with ample potential to extend the existing parking. The property also benefits from an attached single garage that houses the pressurised water cylinder, and has planning to convert to incorporate into the existing home.
