Our team at GTH bring you this unique, special and charming 3/4 bedroom cottage, with parking, garage, west-facing and private walled garden, hugely versatile accommodation and situated in a prestigious position within the ever-sought after village of Hinton St George.

We are delighted to offer this rare opportunity to acquire a three/four bedroom character cottage in the heart of one of South Somerset’s most historic and sought after villages. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, sitting room, bathroom and studio/garden room/bedroom to the ground floor and three bedrooms (one ensuite) to the first floor. Occupying a prime and exclusive position within Hinton St George, 64 South Street will be a popular option for any discerning buyer. Although now in need of general updating and modernising it has significant potential and a highly versatile foot print from which to work from. The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room is well-fitted and takes in views to the gorgeous, west-facing, cottage garden whilst the dining room is a great space for more formal entertaining. The sitting room is a great setting to unwind throughout the seasons, particularly through the colder months thanks to a brick-surround fireplace and electric stove offering an attractive focal point and practical warmth. The real star of the show is the magnificent, vaulted studio/garden room with French doors seamlessly blending inside with out. It could also be utilised as a bedroom for those requiring single-storey and/or multi-generational living. There are two doubles bedrooms to the first floor, one with the luxury of its own ensuite and a further single bedroom which would make a charming home study. One of the real scarcities in the village is that of parking and garaging, making this home even more appealing and whether one wanted to use the garage for its traditional use, as a gym, home study or workshop, it certainly allows plenty of extra options. We would strongly encourage retirees, families, those looking for village life and those looking for an escape to the country to view. A real gem.

Hinton St George village centre comprises mainly period houses, built in local honey-coloured hamstone, which has preserved a special character through little change over the centuries, due to careful consideration of the villagers and the Poulet family, in whose hands it rested until the 1960s. The village has a post office with general store, tearoom, a well-known AA4 triangle Gastro pub - the Lord Poulet Arms, church, primary school and village hall. The village has rural nature, with many varied countryside walks in the locality. Despite this, the communications links are excellent with the A303 approximately 3 miles to the north, leading to the M3 into London and the M5 to the west giving easy access to the north and south west peninsula. Rail connections are available at Crewkerne and Taunton/Castle Cary to London Waterloo and London Paddington respectively. Leisure facilities and shopping may be found in the local market towns of Crewkerne (4 miles), Ilminster (6 miles), Yeovil (14 miles), south coast at Lyme Regis (19 miles). The area is well served by independent schools such as Perrott School, Hazlegrove, Sherborne, Millfield and Port Regis; there are racecourses at Wincanton and Taunton and several golf courses within a 10 mile radius.

The property is approached by an area of off-road parking and detached garage. Beyond this lies a most enchanting, private and magical westerly-facing garden. It is laid to lawn, terrace and light shingle with a small pond and further complemented by an abundance of colourful flora and mature shrubs. There are steps leading up to the higher tier which give an elevated vista over the grounds. An idyllic setting for alfresco dining, socialising with friends and family and sitting out in the warmer months.
