Wincanton, Somerset, BA9

A wonderful opportunity to purchase an Edwardian semi-detached house situated in an elevated position with stunning views across the Blackmore Vale. The versatile living accommodation is spread over four floors with all the principal rooms taking advantage of the delightful views. There are a number of noteworthy features including a light and airy sitting room with double doors opening to a characterful balcony being the perfect spot to read or relax after a busy day. The majority of the lower ground floor is taken up by a spacious kitchen/diner which leads out to a south facing terrace with views over the garden and countryside beyond. A useful utility/boiler room is also on this level. There are three bedrooms arranged over the first and second floors, and a second reception room on the ground floor has been converted to provide an additional bathroom. However, this could easily be returned to a reception room or fourth bedroom. There is also a long mature garden being initially tiered providing pleasant seating areas. This property offers huge potential to create a home to your own taste and style and we strongly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate this characterful home.
