House For Sale £550,000
A light-filled, beautifully appointed detached home with southerly facing garden, tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac in one of our most sought-after villages.
The Property
This well-designed property is perfectly positioned within the cul de sac to make the most of the southerly facing position at the rear. All the principal rooms enjoy large windows typical of the era, many with a dual aspect not only flooding the house with light but also affording fine views from upstairs across the village to the countryside beyond. Having been much improved and cleverly extended by the current vendors, it offers the chance for a new owner to enjoy a low-maintenance and low-hassle home and already offers you surprisingly good room sizes throughout. However, there is still scope for further extension into the garden if you wish.
On the ground floor you approach the property from the side, belying the true extent of the accommodation inside! The door opens into a light entrance hall where there is space to add hooks for coats etc if you so wish. A practical oak floor flows through the entrance hall and into the sitting room at the rear and there’s a useful understairs storage cupboard. To one side of the hall the vendors have created a generously sized separate utility room with velux window letting in plenty of light from above. A useful extra door opens to the rear garden beyond, perfect for two and four-legged members of the family or those who like to “grow your own”. A built-in cupboard discreetly hides the plumbing for the washing machine and there is space above for a tumble dryer if you so wish. Contemporary grey gloss units provide storage and tie in nicely with the lvt grey wood effect flooring. Adjoining the utility room is a ground floor shower room with good size single shower tray housing mains shower, tasteful grey ceramic tiling and WC.
The kitchen has been knocked through to create a super-sociable space for both formal and informal dining, with oak breakfast bar and plenty of room for a formal dining table too. French doors allow you to spill out onto the garden in warmer months. The oak effect lvt flooring gives a hardwearing, easy-clean surface and ties in well with the oak worktops. These house a stainless steel sink unit, electric hob, under counter oven and additional warming drawer. There is also an integrated fridge and dishwasher. An extra door opens to the private gravelled courtyard, perfect for nipping out to the recycling or to the Timber Store if required although this area would also be perfectly large enough for a bistro set.
The sitting room is a welcoming, light and airy dual-aspect room with french doors and large side panels opening onto the garden. A fireplace houses a modern user-friendly Nestor Martin multi-fuel stove with variable controls.
The first-floor landing has a large picture window letting in the easterly light, and provides access to the loft via hatch with built in ladder. On the south side of the property is a bright and spacious dual-aspect master bedroom with fitted wardrobe and lovely views over the garden and village. A tasteful en suite wetroom has a decorative tiled floor and is fitted with a contemporary suite including concealed cistern WC and wall hung wash hand basin. The shower area is fitted with a mains shower and display niche to help keep the room clutter free.
The second double includes a particularly spacious fitted wardrobe with two sets of concertina doors, fitted with both hanging rails and shelving and a radiator, making it a useful linen cupboard if required.
The third bedroom is a smaller double bedroom but again with a lovely outlook over the surrounding gardens. The spacious bathroom was formerly two rooms and is fitted with a contemporary white suite including a double ended bath with central taps and mains shower over, neutral square light grey tiling, concealed cistern WC and vanity wash hand basin.
Much of the property is fitted with sleek recessed downlighters for a modern feel throughout.
There is electric underfloor heating to the kitchen / dining room, utility room, wet room / ensuite and upstairs bathroom.
Outside
The property is approached from the cul de sac, onto a gravelled driveway providing parking and access to the front door. Recently added fencing and a pedestrian gate creates a private gravelled courtyard outside the kitchen door, screening it from view. There is room here for storage of bins and there’s an outside tap, but it’s equally large enough to enjoy as a seating area with gateway leading through to the rear garden. The former garage space has been replaced with a recently built Timber Store with power connected, sat on a concrete base. This might be a useful space for a chest freezer or bikes – all the usual things a garage tends to contain.
The rear gardens face south and west and enjoy the sun for the majority of the day. A feature of the garden is the Grade II listed “Fives” Wall (maintained by a trust) providing added historic interest and privacy, whilst the rest of the garden is fully enclosed by mature hedge and fencing. The gardens are mainly lawned with mature shrubs. On the eastern side of the garden is a further concrete hardstanding which the current owners currently use for a chicken run (not included in the sale).
Hinton St George is generally regarded as one of the most sought-after villages in the area. The village is made up primarily of period houses and cottages, built using the local hamstone - renowned for its mellow colour and visual appeal. The village centre is a real gem and much of it is designated a Conservation Area. The village is peaceful and carries no through traffic of any significance. There is a lovely pub “The Lord Poulett Arms”, excellent village shop, and an active 14th century church. All of which lie within walking distance. For those with small children there is also a small and well respected First school and Pre-School within the village. The surrounding countryside offers plenty of public footpaths and bridleways. The village lies within easy reach of the market town of Crewkerne with its mainline station and Waitrose supermarket. The A30 and A303 are also within c.5-10 minutes’ drive of the property.
