House For Sale £600,000
A fantastic modern family home with four beautiful bedrooms tucked away in a most picturesque and popular village of Lopen.
THE PROPERTY
Tucked away near the heart of the picturesque village of Lopen, first glimpses of the wonderful property (built in 2004) are most impressive with its attracted façade constructed of Ham stone under a pitched slate roof.
On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light, with a large hallway with beautiful stripped wooden flooring. To one side of the hall is a fantastic kitchen with a number of very attractive wall and base units incorporating a twin oven and induction hob, breakfast bar and a utility room alongside. Also on the ground floor is a large reception room currently used as a dining room with plenty of room for a large dining table, and double doors opening out to the garden and paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. This room could also be put to a number of alternative uses, such as a games room or playroom, such is the versatility of this fantastic property.
The real surprise however is the superb extension which has created an incredible music/reading room, and sitting room with a woodburning stove and double doors to the gardens. This is quite simply 'as good as it gets'. Above this room is also a separate staircase up to another sitting room, or large double bedroom, and store, again which could be adapted to suit most families' needs.
The principal bedrooms are accessed via a separate staircase and situated on the first floor, with three beautiful double bedrooms including a large master bedroom suite with an en suite shower and separate dressing room. There is also a family bathroom on this floor.
There is a private garden to the rear of the property and ample parking for a number of cars.
All in all, this is a truly beautiful property in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
LOCATION
This part of Somerset is rightly regarded as one of the finest areas in the South West, as the undulating hills and valleys give way to the wilder and more dramatic scenery of West Dorset to the South.
The village of Lopen is a quiet village of less than 150 properties, including farms and period houses and a pretty church. Within walking distance at the northern end of the village at Lopenhead is a popular organic farm shop, railway carriage cafe & bakery together with an Indian & Thai restaurant.
For day to day needs both South Petherton and Merriott are both around 2 miles where a good range of local facilities can be found. The neighbouring village of Hinton St George, 1.3 miles, has a very good shop and post office and popular pub.
The village has good road links, with the A303 a 5 minute drive and 25 minutes to the M5. The increasingly fashionable Ilminster and fine market town of Crewkerne are both within approx. 10-minute drive and have a good range of high street and independent shops, supermarkets including Waitrose and Tesco, cafes, restaurants and pubs and leisure facilities including a leisure centre and swimming pool in Crewkerne. The larger commercial town of Yeovil is just under 11 miles away and boasts several large 'superstore' supermarkets, out of town retail parks, leisure facilities including theatre, cinema, bowling and leisure centre with swimming pools and a large hospital.
Just a 40-minute drive away is the stunning World Heritage Jurassic coastline with many pretty coastal villages and towns, including the elegant resort of Lyme Regis with its attractive Cobb harbour and beaches.
