Ashfield Park, Martock, Somerset

THE AGENT SAYS...
The epitome of Georgian elegance, Ashfield House is a Grade II listed property built in the 19th century by William Cole, the then principal tradesman and landowner in the town. Constructed of local hamstone with a Welsh slate roof, this impressive home was later divided into four separate dwellings, and with its grand facade is a most desirable address.

THE PROPERTY
A stunning moody-blue stairwell with LED lighting rises up to the apartment entrance. As you enter, the elegant formal drawing room is to your right. This room has the beautiful proportions synonymous with Georgian architecture, with two large sash windows allowing light to flood in from the south and west aspects. Features include a most attractive fireplace with marble surround and wood burning stove, wooden window shutters, original wooden floor, picture rails, wall cupboard and coving. In addition to the drawing room there is a smaller, cosier sitting room for more informal use. Between these two rooms is bedroom 3 which is currently set-up as the most wonderful library - a bibliophile's dream.

A classic arch, flanked by arched internal windows, leads into the splendid bespoke kitchen/dining room fitted in 2018. Period features include a roof lantern which allows light to flood in and an ornate cornicing. There is plenty of storage with cupboards built into the arches, with plate display shelves above, and further tall units surrounding the eye-level slide and hide oven with steam facility and large warming drawer. Integral diswasher & fridge/freezer. A large central island with quartz worktops, ceramic sink and Quooker tap, induction hob provides plenty of space to work and breakfast bar seating for informal dining. The more formal dining area comfortably accommodates a table.

At the far end of the apartment are two bedrooms. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and window shutters. Bedroom 2 also has a fitted wardrobe. The bathroom is exquisite with a claw-footed roll top bath, new basin, separate shower and a built-in storage cupboard. There is a utility cupboard in the hall with plumbing for a washing machine and storage.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The large private garden is laid to lawn with planted beds and borders and country style paths. The garden is fully enclosed by a mixture of fencing and hamstone walls. At the far end is a timber summerhouse with power & raised patio. The property has a garage (new door) and communal parking at the front.
