3 Bed Detached House For Sale

A deceptively spacious Hamstone cottage, striking the perfect balance of well-proportioned rooms and cosy character. With its three double bedrooms and super large eat-in kitchen there's plenty of room to gather friends and family together.

The Property - There are many positives to this deceptively roomy period cottage. Having started its life as two cottages, the subsequent marriage of the two parts many years ago has created homely but unusually spacious rooms for this style of property. The property has undergone much improvement over the years and as it is not a listed building benefits from double glazing and also recently installed programmable electric heating. It enjoys a nice position on a quiet lane on the edge of the village, with enclosed rear garden backing onto allotments and a separate parking area and adjoining garden area directly opposite.

Steps lead up to the cottage style stable-door which takes you directly into the sociable eat-in kitchen / dining room. Very much the heart of the home, there's a beautiful original inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove. The cream shaker style fitted units suit the cottage feel very well and the oak worktops over complement the oak flooring below and include a ceramic sink unit, from which there's a view over the garden and allotments beyond. The units incorporate an electric hob and under counter oven with stainless steel cooker hood. There is space for your own fridge and dishwasher too. Whilst off the kitchen at the rear is a useful rear lobby / utility room with extra sink, handy shelving and room for your washing machine.

The separate sitting room is brimming with more period feature including beams and a second inglenook firplace, this time housing a woodwarn multi-fuel stove. An understairs cupboard provides storage and an extra window on the east side makes the most of the morning sunshine.

On the first floor, timber latch doors open to three double bedrooms and a generous well-fitted bathroom with WC, pedestal wash hand basin, double-ended oval bath, and separate double shower. The period style white suite suits the cottage perfectly and is set off with white tiling and travertine detail. The three bedrooms will all take double beds and one has its own fitted storage area.

Outside - To the rear, stone steps lead up from the utility room to the level enclosed garden with shrub borders and sleeper edged herb bed. The timber shed and seating "Pod" can be included in the sale if a buyer would prefer. There is an external electric point and outside tap. A side timber gate from the rear of the property leads down a side access path to the lane.

Opposite the cottage owns a section of land providing off road parking for 2/3 vehicles with adjoining log store. Steps lead up to a raised section of lawned garden with fruit trees which would make an excellent drying area or vegetable plot perhaps.

Situation - Seavington is an attractive village made up of two small parishes, Seavington St Mary and Seavington St Michael, both with their own parish churches and sharing a lovely community shop and café, recreation ground with children’s playground, village hall and pub. Nearby, the pretty village of South Petherton also offers a range of day to day amenities although almost equidistant is the Medieval market town of Ilminster, the centre of which is dominated by the ancient Minster and a thriving range of independent stores including butchers, delicatessen, hardware store, antiques and homeware stores as well as two supermarkets. Ilminster has a convenient road access to both the M5, junction 25 lies 13 miles to the north-west and 1 mile to the A303, now dual carriageway most of the way to the M3. There is a mainline railway station at Crewkerne c.5 miles (London Waterloo) which also has a Waitrose supermarket, and the county town of Taunton c.15 miles has a further mainline station (London Paddington) and a wider range of shopping facilities.
