House For Sale £595,000
With southerly countryside views and set in a third of an acre, this substantial family size home has everything a large or extended family might need and is nicely tucked away in a popular and accessible village.
The Property
The moment you enter the property you are struck by the feeling of space. Court House was built by previous owners to an individual design in 1996 and has been altered and improved by the current vendors during their ownership. Whilst there is still scope for a buyer to put their own stamp on the property it is very well presented for sale and has benefitted from improvements such as new UPVC windows, modernised kitchen / breakfast room and the creation of a ground floor guest suite which would be equally as perfect for a dependent relative.
The spacious reception hall sets the tone for the rest of the property and gives a lovely first impression. To one side a good size triple aspect living room has double glazed sliding patio doors to the rear affording southerly facing views over the garden and countryside beyond. Further west facing windows make the most of the afternoon and evening light. An attractive stone fireplace houses a woodburning stove for a cosy glow, although the property benefits from full oil-fired central heating throughout as you would expect. There is a separate formal dining room, again with lovely aspect over the garden on the south side. Beyond, there is a sociable and roomy kitchen / breakfast room with further double-glazed patio doors opening onto the garden and plenty of room for comfy chairs or a breakfast table if you prefer. An island unit serves as a breakfast bar however and complements the modern country style units which have timber worktops over and include a Belfast style sink. There is an integrated induction hob with stainless steel cooker hood over and electric double oven to one side. The dishwasher is freestanding but is included in the sale. Solid oak timber flooring unifies the kitchen with the adjoining breakfast area.
Conveniently, the utility room has an extra door out to the side courtyard making it handy for day-to-day chores such as recycling. The utility is fitted with a further range of storage cupboards and drawers and has space under the worktops for your own washing machine / tumble dryer combination. There is also space for an upright fridge / freezer. The oil-fired central heating boiler is set in one corner.
Retracing your steps to the entrance hall, there is a downstairs cloakroom with vanity wash hand basin and concealed cistern WC. Tucked away to one side of the hall a separate study is the perfect base to work from home and the expanse of shelving to one wall will be included for the new owners. As well as a work or hobby space it offers further potential as an extra bedroom with the use of a sofa bed perhaps, or offers potential to be amalgamated with the adjoining guest suite and the garage beyond to create a more substantial self-contained annexe should it be required. The ground floor bedroom suite comprises a double bedroom with modern en suite shower room including white suite of corner shower cubicle, Triton T80si shower, low level WC and wash hand basin with neutral tiling to the floor and walls.
The first-floor rooms are accessed from an impressive galleried landing. Sensibly designed again to make the most of the southerly facing views at the rear, the family bathroom and smallest bedroom are located to the front. The bathroom has been well looked after and includes a panelled bath, separate single shower cubicle, vanity wash hand basin and concealed cistern WC, all with associated storage. The flooring has been updated with modern timber effect vinyl flooring for a practical finish. A door opens to a very useful under eaves storage area, perfect for items that you need occasional access to and don’t wish to put in the loft space. This area has restricted head height but useful natural light via a velux roof light and a light connected. The fourth bedroom is a perfect children’s room, a good size single room with ample space for bunk beds and a useful walk-in storage cupboard for toys and clothes. The three largest bedrooms, including the master bedroom are located across the rear of the house and all enjoy lovely views. The master bedroom includes a shower cubicle, concealed cistern WC, vanity wash basin and associated storage.
Outside
The property is approached over a tarmac driveway providing ample parking and turning space, and access to the single garage with power and light connected. There is an attractive front garden with mature shrubs and conifers. There is access to the garden via both sides of the house, with a timber gate leading through to the side courtyard providing space for storage of bins etc and also a useful outside tap. The oil storage tank is also located at this side of the property and can be filled easily from the front drive.
The south facing garden is mostly laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders and affords lovely far-reaching views towards the countryside beyond. A large patio extends across the rear of the house from the kitchen / breakfast room across to the living room and makes the most of the sunny position.
At the end of the garden is a useful timber store / workshop with power and light connected. This is subdivided into two areas approximately 8x8ft and 6x8ft.
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. Bath, Bristol and Exeter offer excellent cultural and shopping facilities within approximately an hour’s drive. The World Heritage designated Jurassic coastline lies c.20 miles to the south.<br/><br/>
