Fabulous 3 double bedroom family home set on the edge of the village of South Petherton with enclosed garden, parking and detached office building.

This stunning hamstone house dates back to 19th Century and is now beautifully modernised inside.  This period home has been lovingly updated by the current vendors and is a wonderful family home with enclosed garden, driveway and detached office building.  In brief the property comprises entrance hall, 2 reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room extending through to sun room, utility area and WC to the ground floor with 3 double bedrooms, ensuite shower room and family bathroom to the first floor.   The kitchen is very much the heart of the home and is set to the rear of the property with views out to the enclosed garden.  The kitchen area itself has a central island with storage underneath, a range of locally handmade wooden units providing wall and floor storage, rangemaster, space for fridge/freezer, a butler sink and additional prep sink beside the cooker, integrated dishwasher and large pantry.  The dining area is situated between the kitchen and sun room and there is space for a large table and chairs while the sun room offers a cosy seating area with lots of natural light – the ideal space for sitting down with a good book.   The main living room is a cosy sitting room with wood burner and the second reception room offers the perfect space for a teenage snug.

Upstairs the master bedroom is double aspect with views over the garden and has a dressing room and ensuite shower room with tiled shower, sink with storage surrounding, WC and heated towel rail.  The other 2 bedrooms are both large doubles, one with built in storage.  The family bathroom is fully tiled and has a shower over the bath, sink with storage underneath, backlit mirror, WC and heated towel rail.

The historic village of South Petherton offers a good selection of day-to-day facilities including boutique stores, a butcher, bakery, greengrocer, wine merchant, pharmacy, newsagent and great village pub along with the new London restaurant HOLM. The village has an active community spirit and welcomes a revived annual Folk Festival and other local events throughout the year offering a variety of music, arts and culture. Yeovil to the east or the county town of Taunton to the west both offer a wider selection of shopping and recreational facilities. Communication links to the area are good, with the A303 providing links to the A30 and to the M5 at Junction 25. Mainline stations at Castle Cary, Yeovil and Taunton offer regular services to central London (less than two hours from Castle Cary) and Exeter Airport has a growing number of national and international flights, including daily flights to London City Airport.

The property is approached from Silver Street and has electric timber gates leading to the newly laid driveway offering parking for 4/5 vehicles.  There is covered wood storage and a shed as well as access to the office/gym.  The garden has a terraced area with wood fired pizza oven leading from the French doors off the kitchen and steps up to the enclosed walled lawn area complete with raised borders and corner decking to each side.  The garden is private and sunny and is the perfect spot for summer gatherings around the pizza oven.
