House For Sale £395,000
Symonds & Sampson are delighted to have been chosen to market this absolutely charming 18th century 2 bedroom end of 3 chocolate box cottage with an abundance of character features including a thatched roof and having large cottage-style gardens to the rear.
The cottage, which has the huge benefit of off road parking and potential further parking, lies in one of the area’s most desirable villages along a quiet lane and an early viewing is very much advised.
The property, which has gas central heating, is arranged in more detail over two floors as follows:
A pillared storm porch has a timber entrance door leading to the reception hall with an attractive original and recently restored flag stone floor and exposed hamstone walling.
This in turn leads to the good size sitting room (16'3 x 17'2), which offers a pleasant aspect over the front of the property and has a simply stunning hamstone inglenook fireplace. This room also benefits from a beautifully restored original flag stone floor, further exposed hamstone walling and has a staircase rising to the first floor and a large solid oak window seat.
Off here lies the kitchen (14 x 9'7), which has a comprehensive range of units with timber effect work tops and cream doors with timber effect door furniture. There is an attractive Belfast sink with mixer tap, an oven and four ring hob, whilst once again there is exposed hamstone walling, door to the rear and a gas boiler.
The bathroom with a white suite with timber panelling to dado height.
On the first floor is a good size landing providing a study area, whilst there are two bedrooms (10'7 x 8'6 and 10'7 x 5'3) both having timber flooring and both having bespoke fitted wardrobes and storage cupboards. Bedroom 2 has a very attractive hamstone window with leaded light patterned glazed offering an aspect to the side of the property.
To the side of the property is parking for 1 vehicle, which has a timber gate giving access to further possible parking.
To the rear of the property the gardens are absolutely superb measuring 0.10 of an acre and having a patio, good sized lawns, attractive trellis, a number of fruit trees including apple, plum and quince, deep cottage garden flower beds and borders, vegetable garden, enclosed by lap panel fencing and hamstone walling.
Please note there is a drive to the side of the property offering further vehicular access if required.
Agents Note
Please be aware that number 2 Blackspur Cottages has a pedestrian right of way across the rear garden.
Norton-Sub-Hamdon is one of Somerset’s premier villages, lying as it does at the foot of Ham Hill, from where the honey coloured hamstone, for which the area is renowned, is still quarried. The centre of the village is a Conservation Area in which planning controls are in force to preserve its special character; thus it remains unspoilt with a blend of houses of differing periods. The village is of a sufficient size to support most amenities, including a community shop, public house, village hall, primary school and church. Doctors and Dentist are found at Stoke sun Hamdon 1 mile away. The larger centres of Yeovil, South Petherton, Crewkerne and Sherborne are all within easy reach and offer a range of traditional shops and high street stores.
