House For Sale £675,000
A deceptively spacious four bedroom detached house requiring some updating, with excellent potential for any purchaser to put their own stamp on it. The accommodation is set over three floors, with a spacious and versatile attic room. The property has a fantastic array of outbuildings including a large workshop/double garage with 3-phase electric and inspection pit, several very useful stone outbuildings and an old stable block at the top of the garden. The property is situated in the peaceful village of Shepton Montague, which has its own pub and village hall. The Newt in Somerset is only 1.4 miles away, as well as having beautiful countryside walks on your doorstep. The village is conveniently located between Castle Cary, Bruton and Wincanton.
The Property
A storm porch leads into an entrance porch with fitted cupboards and a door into the hall. From the hall is access to the study, kitchen, dining room and stairs rising to the first floor.
The study has its own access to the front and a window, there is a very useful mezzanine with a ladder, perfect for storage.
The kitchen has a window to the rear, fitted wall, base and drawer units, a one and a half bowl sink with mixer tap and drainer, space for a dishwasher and undercounter fridge and an oil fired Heritage range cooker (available by separate negotiation).
A feature brick arch leads through to the breakfast room, which has French doors to the rear and in turn leads into the dining room. The dining room has a window to the front and a fireplace with open fire.
The sitting room is part of a more recent extension built by the current owners, there are windows to the front and side, French doors to the rear and a feature stone fireplace with a large wood burning stove.
Back through the kitchen is a long utility area with a Belfast sink, space for further appliances, and a cloakroom comprising WC, wash basin and a fitted cupboard, which has all the plumbing and shower tray if one needed a ground floor shower.
From the utility is access into the office, another addition by the current owners, which has three windows and a skylight, creating a very naturally light room for working in.
On the first floor are four bedrooms, three doubles and a single and the family bathroom.
The master bedroom has a window to the front and a door opening onto a lovely balcony to the rear. The en suite bathroom has a window to the rear and comprises WC, vanity unit with wash basin and bath.
The family bathroom has windows to the rear and side and comprises WC, wash basin and bath with a shower over.
On the second floor is a very spacious attic room, suitable for a variety of uses, with windows to the front and rear. There is also a good sized store room, which is fully boarded.
Outside
To the front is a driveway providing off road parking for about 3 or 4 cars, plus parking for two cars within the garage.
The garage/workshop is a fantastic size, having once been the village forge. There are two double barn doors to the front and a double door to the rear, an inspection pit and 3-phase power.
Behind the garage is a yard, partly laid to gravel and partly attractive sandstone patio. There are two open outbuildings, ideal for storage of all kinds and an enclosed log store and potting shed. A slope or steps lead up to the lawned garden, which has a good degree of privacy. Beyond the lawned area is a useful area of hardstanding and an old stable block with water connected.
