Property Description: Guide Price £230,000 - £250,000. For sale with no onward chain this well presented and well maintained period property would make a fabulous home, a perfect 'lock up and leave' or a great investment opportunity. Built in the Victorian era and converted into a house in the late 90's, the property has lovely high ceilings giving a feeling of space and the bedrooms are well proportioned.
From the courtyard garden the front door opens into a hallway which feels spacious and has under stair storage plus a downstairs cloakroom. Off the hall is light filled living room with quality wood effect flooring and windows to the front and back. The painted wooden French doors that open out to the garden enhance this room and with the high ceilings, indicative of this period, create a room with a wonderfully airy feel. The galley kitchen is off the living room and has an array of fitted units, an electric oven, electric hob and plumbing for a washing machine.
The two well proportioned double bedrooms both have built in storage. The front bedroom and the landing window both look out over the Grade II listed buildings to the south with the country side beyond. The bathroom has a bath with shower over and there is a good-sized airing cupboard that is accessed from the landing. The loft area is large with a ceiling hatch in the landing and there is the potential to extend into this already part-boarded space, subject to the usual consents.
Outside: The south-facing walled courtyard garden to the front of the house is charming, easy to maintain and a real sun trap. There is an allocated parking space that comes with the property and is located in a courtyard adjacent - there is also guest parking available. In addition to having its own private garden there are the communal gardens with expanses of lawn, mature trees and a pond to enjoy.
Location: Gilbert Scott Mews is set within the grounds of a Grade II listed former hospital which is now the village of South Horrington on the outskirts of Wells.
