"A stylish and characterful cottage, with particularly well proportioned ground floor living spaces in a sought after and accessible village close to excellent road links.

The Property With a manageable garden, but surprisingly spacious accommodation, this lovely cottage would be perfect for those with a busy lifestyle or those looking to downsize who want to retain the good proportions and elegant features of a period home. Formerly a three bedroom cottage, it has been altered to create a stylish and spacious bathroom on the first floor, alongside two double bedrooms, whilst the conversion of the former ground floor bathroom has created an exceptional utility space.

Accommodation To the front, there are two entrances. One leads, via a small porch into a substantial and naturally lit side lobby with large skylight windows. This could alternatively work as a home office space if you need a separate designated work or hobby area. The other front door opens into a welcoming garden room with triple aspect windows overlooking the garden and in turn this could be used as a reception room or larger entrance hall, as this leads through to the squarely proportioned sitting room beyond. With surprisingly good ceiling heights and exposed beams, a feature fireplace with quarry tiled hearth houses a wood burning stove, with built in storage to either side. One corner has a useful alcove just perfect for a small desk. Beyond the sitting room a generous L shaped kitchen diner is flooded with natural light from Velux windows and has an impressive vaulted ceiling with exposed lime washed effect beams. The cream shaker style units include a ceramic butler sink, all finished with natural stone tiled splashbacks. There is room for an electric cooker, an integrated dishwasher and space to one side for both an upright and or under counter fridge or freezer. The shape of the kitchen allows for a good size table and other freestanding furniture such as a dresser or sideboard if you so wish. The adjoining utility room is very generous and really practical as a large laundry room, with handy second sink as well as room for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. The cupboard to one side allows for storage and also houses the wall mounted central heating boiler. As the former bathroom the WC and wash hand basin are still in situ, as is the shower unit currently over the sink. However the WC and basin could be partitioned off to create a separate cloakroom if you prefer. A glazed door leads back into the side lobby.

The two bedrooms on the first floor are both doubles, the largest having a dual aspect and the second double enjoying a view towards the countryside. The well appointed bathroom has been finished with a blend of period and contemporary styling, a large low profile walk in shower to one side fitted with period style dual head controls, and a separate heritage style bath, WC and basin. The exposed floorboards and tongue and groove panelling give a nod to the original era of the cottage.

Outside The garden is located only to the front of the property, and is a manageable size with gravelled path to the front doors and stone patio areas. To either side are grassed areas and raised beds edged with reclaimed railway sleepers. It enjoys a surprisingly good level of privacy being set back from the village road and bordered by mature evergreen hedging, with a weeping birch adjoining the front full height pedestrian gateway.

The property has a right of access on foot to the rear for maintenance only.

Situation Hatch Beauchamp lies to the east of the A358 and therefore has excellent road links towards the M5 at Taunton, and the A303 A30 at Ilminster, as well as the A378 to Curry Rivel and Langport. Hatch Beauchamp is a nice size village with a pub, the Hatch Inn, and Farthings country house hotel. There is a lovely village recreation ground and village hall with cricket pitch, tennis court and multi use games area. There is also a small village primary school. The village has its own cafe village shop, whilst there is also a shop and post office at Curry Mallet. The extensive shopping of the county town Taunton lies within easy driving distance, as does the thriving and attractive market town of Ilminster to the south.
