West Street, South Petherton

A substantial and impressive period home, with generous accommodation just a short walk from the village centre with amenities close at hand.

This charming period home, believed to date back to the late 1700s, offers exceptionally spacious and versatile accommodation, making it ideal for an extended family or those who like to entertain.

Brimming with character, the property features five generously sized bedrooms and three en-suite bathrooms, including a breathtaking master or guest suite that spans the entire top floor, complete with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams.

For those who work from home or enjoy hobbies, the additional bedrooms provide flexible living arrangements, complemented by a small, discreetly positioned home office on the ground floor. Conveniently situated within level walking distance of the picturesque village centre, this home benefits from its prime location in South Petherton.

Accommodation - Brimming with character, this home showcases reclaimed beams, latch doors, wide elm window sills, window seats and feature fireplaces. The accommodation is deceptively spacious and well-proportioned throughout, with surprisingly generous ceiling heights. To one side of the hall, a bright dual-aspect sitting room boasts an impressive stone fireplace. The formal dining room also enjoys a dual aspect, welcoming both morning and afternoon sunlight, and features a charming window seat at the front.

Tucked beneath the stairs is a useful study or home office space, though those needing more room could easily repurpose one of the upstairs bedrooms. The country-style kitchen, which adjoins the dining room, is fitted with traditional solid wood units and beech worktops, offering space for a range cooker (which the vendors are happy to include in the sale) and an integrated fridge and dishwasher. Exposed stone walls further enhance the home’s character, while a door leads to a practical utility room with a handy second sink, and a wall-mounted gas boiler discreetly housed in a cupboard. A convenient downstairs cloakroom is located nearby, and a door provides access to the integral double garage.

The first-floor landing is spacious, adorned with period features, and includes a built-in cupboard serving as a warm linen store, along with additional storage. There are two en suite double bedrooms on this floor, the larger of which benefits from attractive fitted furniture. Two further bedrooms, currently used as hobby and office spaces, are served by a separate family bathroom.

The second-floor suite offers flexibility as a master bedroom, guest retreat, or an ideal space for an older child seeking independence. The generous room allows for multi-purpose use, while the adjoining en suite boasts both a walk-in shower and a double-ended bath. Large skylight windows flood the space with natural light and provide scenic views across the village, including a charming glimpse of the church tower.

Outside - The beautiful, well-planned gardens have been designed with lower maintenance, and privacy in mind. Stocked with a range of ornamental trees and shrubs for all year round structure and colour, they include well-thought out hard landscaping to create a feeling of seclusion. Double gates lead onto a generous gravelled driveway providing ample parking and access to the adjoining double garage with electric up and over door, power and light and a useful internal door opening into the utility room.

A private west facing seating area lies close to the house, screened by a beautiful mature cherry tree and magnolia. A variety of attractive birch trees line the driveway, whilst chinese privet and evergreen laurel line the northerly border providing a green backdrop and privacy. There are raised beds and a fruit cage for those who like to grow their own, and a pretty pergola overlooking a small manageable lawn. A larger patio area doubles as a useful drying area adjoining the double garage. There is also an outside tap. A rear path provides good access around the house for any maintenance required. The gardens also benefit from external insulated power sockets.
