3 bedroom terraced house

A recently modernised and beautifully presented three bedroom mid-terrace cottage, located on the Mendip Hills in the village of Emborough. Offering finely-proportioned accommodation, this superb period home includes a contemporary kitchen and bathroom, off-road parking, a courtyard to the rear and a separate area of ground opposite. EPC rating E.


The property is entered via a set of double glazed patio doors, which open into a south-facing, triple-aspect sun room at the front. A door from the sun room then opens into a central hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first floor accommodation. To the left of the hall is the dining room, which is the first of two reception rooms. The dining room has a window to the front, an attractive stone fireplace with an inset wood burning stove, a beautiful tiled floor (continued throughout the ground floor rooms) and an opening through to the kitchen. Tastefully refitted with range of matching floor and wall units with contrasting quartz work surfaces, the impressive kitchen is located at the rear of the property. Within the kitchen there is a large island with solid wood top, a bespoke light fitting above and space for seating around. In addition, there is space for a Rangemaster electric range cooker (with an extractor hood in place above), an integrated dishwasher and wine cooler, plus a recess for a freestanding fridge/freezer. Accessed from the kitchen is a rear porch leading out to the courtyard and a door into an adjoining utility room/WC. This useful space has further storage, a Belfast sink unit and a low level WC.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a delightful sitting room, which is spacious and also includes a stone chimney breast with inset wood burning stove. The sitting room then has a door leading back to the hall.

On the first floor, a central landing with a large walk-in cupboard gives access into three generous bedrooms, all of which has fitted storage. The smartly presented family bathroom has been newly fitted in a traditional style and comprises a freestanding roll top bath with mixer taps, a low level WC, a separate shower cubicle with modern tiling and a pedestal wash hand basin.

OUTSIDE
At the front of the property is a stone-chipped driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. This leads to an enclosed, double-gated section by the main entrance, also laid to stone chippings.

To the rear of the house is a gated courtyard seating area, which is accessed via a right of way across the neighbouring property. The property benefits from part of a stone-built building behind, providing some useful storage.

Opposite the house is a separate section of ground which runs down towards Emborough Pond. A blank canvas for a purchaser to work with, it offers a wonderful space to transform into an additional garden, seating areas or to be landscaped.
