"Wonderfully positioned on the fringes of Bruton, Little Meadow is a well maintained mid 20th century home, quietly exuding charm and elegance. Built in the 1950s and set within glorious mature gardens, this home is a rare find.
Comfortable and bright with high ceilings, the ground floor is orientated to capitalise on the views over the gardens. The kitchen is well appointed to accommodate ones culinary needs with integrated electric cooker, grill top oven and hob. An adjoining utility room provides convenient space for washer dryer, dishwasher, fridge freezer, boiler and with direct access to the front of the property and back garden, this area provides the perfect work space for country living.
The formal dining room is elegant and overlooks the rear garden. Opening onto the sitting room, creating a wonderful flow throughout the ground floor. The sitting room is vast and spans the width of the property. With windows providing outlook onto the side gardens and French doors that lead to the terrace, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. An open fire place provides atmosphere and warmth in the cooler months. An under stairs cupboard and loo WC round off this very comfortable living space.
Upstairs, a landing leads to three four bedrooms, each capturing peaceful outlooks across garden and countryside. One bedroom, formerly two, now offers a particularly spacious retreat but could easily be reinstated as separate rooms if desired, there is a shower cubicle within, while a further family bathroom and separate WC complete the upper floor.
OutsideThe gravel drive to the front provides an elegant entrance to this handsome home. Bordered by mature hedging, dotted with mature trees and strategically placed magnolia and acers to bring colour and texture. The garden is at once private and yet open.
