The Parlour, constructed in 2006 of stone and brick under a tiled roof, is a particularly bright and versatile detached property, surrounded by its own gardens in a quiet, exclusive development of individual properties, close to the increasingly popular village of South Petherton.

The wonderfully spacious kitchen is the heart of the house, with a good range of wooden wall and base units under a granite worktop incorporating an integrated NEFF dishwasher, freezer, Panasonic microwave, double Rangemaster oven and space for a fridge. An island/breakfast bar adds another dimension and is perfect for informal dining. Large double doors lead through to the dining room, which has plenty of space for entertaining friends or for family gatherings. This in turn flows seamlessly into a light and capacious sitting room, with a log burner providing a lovely central focus for those cooler evenings. Each of these rooms open out to the beautiful gardens, giving the property a real sense of indoor/outdoor harmony.

Off the entrance hall are the four excellent double bedrooms, the principal of which has double built in cupboards with an ensuite Jack and Jill shower room. The three further bedrooms also have the use of a family bathroom with bathtub and overhead shower.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached by a five-bar timber gate which opens onto a turning space for several cars with the beautiful gardens to the side and rear of the property. There is a double greenhouse and a large wooden carport with space for five cars, along with a large tool shed providing fantastic and hugely versatile storage solutions. The gardens are a real delight with an abundance of mature trees, plants and bulbs to provide year round colour and interest. The rose garden and shrubbery are full of lavender, roses, holy hocks, lupins, rosemary amongst numerous other species. There is an enclosed vegetable garden with beetroot, cabbages, sprouts, rhubarb, onions and asparagus. The total land holding extends to approximately 1 acre.

LOCATION
New Cross lies just 2 miles outside of the pretty village of South Petherton. This delightful village offers an array of facilities and traditional shops, including the Church of St Peter and St Paul, Boutiques, a Butchers, Bakery Florist, Pharmacy a Co-op, Public Houses, Cafes, and the Holm restaurant which features in the Michelin Guide. At Kingsbury Episcopi there is a community shop incorporating a post office and coffee shop, whilst the larger centres of Yeovil, Crewkerne and Sherborne are within easy reach.

Period houses built of the local honey coloured hamstone blend into the landscape, which has changed little in recent years, much of which is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is protected by strict planning controls to prevent incongruous development. The evocative apple orchards, prevalent in this part of Somerset have been producing famous cider for centuries. There are excellent communication links with the A303 (predominantly dual carriageway to the M3 and London) and M5 nearby. Train links are from Taunton or Castle Cary to London Paddington, or Yeovil to London Waterloo.
