Dating back to circa 1790, The Laurels is a substantial four-bedroom family home sitting on a plot circa 0.3 of an acre with uninterrupted rural views. The property offers flexible accommodation with generous sized reception rooms and bedrooms. There is ample parking for several vehicles, all of which is off-road and two gated entrances onto the driveway. There is a lovely mix of character/period features including windows seats, flagstone hearths, stone fireplaces, Victorian fireplaces, exposed stone walls, hardwood doors throughout, yet it provides modern and comfortable living. It has been extended and added to over the years from the 1900's to more recently in the 90's and 2004.
The beautiful hardwood wooden front door (made locally) leads you into a traditional entrance hall with tiled flooring looking straight though the downstairs accommodation to the rear of the property and the views beyond. There is a useful recess, perfect for storing coats and shoes.
Long Load is a popular South Somerset village which lies approximately 4 miles southeast of Langport. Delightfully rural with numerous walks appealing to bird watchers, photographers and artists. Long Sutton golf club is a walk away and a good general store can be found over the hill in Long Sutton along with primary school and pubs. The large village of South Petherton is equi-distant to Langport, which has all of your day-to-day needs. There are also the market towns of Martock and Somerton which are a short drive away.
