House For Sale £270,000
If you’re looking for a home that can grow with your family – look no further! With parking, good size garden and set in a lovely village, the icing on the cake is the fact it has planning permission to extend.
The Property
This property has been greatly improved by the current owner to create a blank canvas for the next owners to “take the baton” and further extend to their own needs. With accommodation typical of the older style family semi, it is set in a good size garden allowing scope for extending to the rear and permission has been obtained Ref 21/00424/hou. The property benefits from double glazed windows and doors, and oil-fired central heating. We are informed that the heating was installed in 2020 with external Firebird combination boiler and modern oil tank located to the side of the driveway.
Entering from the front door, the owner has created a more practical open-plan layout by opening up the original small lobby to both reception rooms on either side. To one side is a traditional dual aspect sitting room with cast iron fireplace housing an electric fire, and character beams to the ceiling. The central staircase has been attractively presented with traditional central runner, and to the other side is a separate dining room with window overlooking the front driveway. Beyond the dining room a step drops you down to the kitchen which currently overlooks the rear garden. A recess conveniently provides space for your fridge freezer and there are fitted units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards. Work surfaces incorporate a composite sink unit, and stainless steel cooker hood. There is a space and point for electric cooker.
Currently, to one side of the kitchen is a ground floor bathroom. This is a particularly light and airy double aspect bathroom with obscured double glazed windows to the side and rear. A white suite includes panelled bath with shower over, low level WC and wash hand basin. There is a wall mounted chrome ladder style towel rail / radiator.
On the first floor the landing enjoys pleasant views over the garden and across the village towards the countryside beyond. There is access to the loft space via hatch with ladder.
Bedroom one is a lovely size and has a dual aspect. There is a further double room and then a single-size bedroom at the rear with pleasant views and built-in industrial style bunk beds which are included in the sale.
Outside
To the front is a gravel driveway providing off road parking. To one side are mature laurel shrubs which screen the modern PVC oil tank. A side pathway leads to the rear garden, past the electric meter box which is located on the side of the house.
The rear garden is a generous size, typical of these older-style houses and is mainly laid to lawn. Very much a blank canvas there is lots of scope for green-fingered buyers to make it just how they’d like it. At the bottom of the garden is a timber workshop / potting shed which adjoins a large greenhouse structure of block and timber construction.
Barrington is one of South Somerset’s most attractive conservation villages and boasts an enviable position with easy access to excellent road links via the A303 and A358 and yet does not lie on a main road itself. The renowned National Trust property Barrington Court lies at one end of the village, and is much more than somewhere to visit. There is a range of artisan workshops, second hand book store, café / restaurant, gift shop and lots of lovely spaces to enjoy the peace and quiet over a picnic perhaps. There is a super network of public footpaths criss-crossing the estate and village, excellent for dog-walking. The Barrington Boar is a very well-respected pub with rooms and excellent food, and is just a short walk from the property. There is a thriving community spirit at Barrington with lots of things to get involved with should you wish. The village hall is very much a hub for activities and events, which include Community Coffee mornings, a Local Produce Market, Gardening club, Choral society, Amateur dramatics group (The Barrington Players) among others. There really is something for everyone.<br/><br/>
