House For Sale £285,000
This is a rather charming 3 bedroom, authentic 1880's Hamstone cottage situated at the foot of Ham Hill in the pretty village of Stoke sub Hamdon.Approached through the front hamstone walled garden, you are immediately struck with the feeling that you are approaching a comfortable and welcoming home. With a bright entrance you come first to the front facing kitchen which is a reverse of the normal cottage layouts in the area and makes more sense in terms of making the most of the comfy feeling further in. The kitchen is a good space with ample room for a 4/6 seater dining table.Situated to the rear of the property is the sitting room with a nice hamstone feature fireplace and rear aspect window looking into the initial courtyard garden. Also on this floor is the rear entrance hall with door to the exterior and to the rear a handy downstairs WC.Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, 2 large doubles and a third which is currently configured as a home office as it offers nice views to Ham Hill and the backdrop of the monument. Also on this floor is the bathroom.There is access to the loft area which has lighting, is fully boarded, insulated and has a rear aspect window. It should be a formality to obtain full building approval to create this as a 4th bedroom or it could make an absolutely stunning top floor sitting room with those unspoilt rear aspect views to Ham Hill and over the extensive upper gardens.Returning to the outside and from the courtyard garden there is gated access to the rear area and a right of way provides access to stone steps leading up to your garden which stretches up the hill quite substantially and provides several elevated positions to create your outside space.There is pedestrian access to the rear of the property from the front through an archway.
Approach
Set on the High Street this lovely home has a low hamstone wall to the front with 2 steps up to a concrete path entrance and features mature shrubbery. To the side is a gate providing pedestrian access to the garden. The entrance itself is through the front door with some nice touches including a nice glass diamond centre feature as well as a transom pane above the front door.
Ground Floor
With a spacious entrance hallway set over a while tiled floor and white woodwork, this is a light space. Under the stairs there is a storage space. To the left is the sizeable kitchen which is well stocked with space and plumbing for a range of white goods and has the capacity to easily take a 6 seater. Tastefully decorated the kitchen gives you a glimpse into what the rest of the property has to offer in terms of taste and decor. The next room on your visit will be the sitting room which has a feature hamstone fireplace, storage cupboards and a large rear window which has a primarily Southerly aspect. To the rear is the rear door with space for storage and at the back is the downstairs cloakroom.
First Floor
This floor offers 2 large double bedrooms, a smaller double to the rear (both rear bedrooms offer unspoilt views to Ham Hill) and the family bathroom.
Loft
With loft ladder this space has undergone partial conversion and appears to offer a sizeable space which would, having looked at other properties in the area, benefit a new home owner by providing another floor of residence. Boarded, insulated and with a rear aspect velux type window the pitch of the roof lends itself to this becoming either another bedroom (or two) or as I have seen with some interesting properties, creating a top floor sitting room as the views to Ham Hill are simply sublime.
Rear Garden
The rear garden is set over several levels and backs onto Ham Hill Country Park. Initially from the rear door there is a patio garden with gate and pathway to a further tiered garden which is laid to lawn with a multitude of mature shrubs, primarily wilded plants and shed. Many of the neighbours have made use of the upper space of the adjoining gardens to create cabins and summer house areas to make the most of the splendid views on offer over the Somerset Levels due to the elevations on offer.
