Description
A striking and most appealing Victorian house enjoying an elevated position within the heart of this sought after village. Believed to have been constructed circa 1870 and finished in local Wembdon sandstone quarried nearby. This superb house has been lovingly restored and improved by the current owners to provide a comfortable and delightful family home; yet still displays many character features associated with properties from this period, including sash windows, stained glass, fireplaces, ornate cornicing and picture rails to name but a few features. The generous accommodation is arranged over two floors, comprising: an entrance hall providing access to the principle reception rooms, turning staircase to the first floor. There is a study, sitting room with an open fireplace and bay window, dining room - with an impressive marble fireplace, kitchen/breakfast/living room

(measuring in excess of 35ft by 11ft), and a conservatory. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom. On the first floor, the landing provides access to five bedrooms, four being of double-size, recently refitted bath and shower-rooms. Outside, a sweeping driveway leads to a car port and parking area to the side of the house. There are attractive and cared for gardens, including a patio area with various well-stocked beds and borders. A heated swimming pool and external store - previously used as an office. An appointment to view this superb property is highly recommended.
