Lambrook Road, Shepton Beauchamp, Ilminster

A handsome double-fronted property in a popular village, cleverly extended to create a deceptively roomy three double bedroom home with the added advantage of two en suites, perfect for guests or older children.

The Property - This lovely detached property is located close to the heart of the village and yet within easy reach of footpaths taking you into open countryside. Having been improved and extended during the current ownership it has become a surprisingly well-proportioned, well-presented and comfortable home - ideal for those looking for a lower-maintenance village property with a traditional layout.

Being double-fronted, you enter into a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and an open understairs area perfect for coats and shoes. To one side is a particularly spacious dual aspect sitting room, with french doors opening onto the garden and an attractive stone fireplace inset with a modern, sleek woodburning stove. Double doors lead through into a separate dining room, allowing it to be opened up to the living room or separated off for formal dining. It also lies adjacent to the kitchen giving scope to create a larger open-plan kitchen / living space in the future.

The current kitchen was extended as part of the two-storey extension to the side and now has an adjoining area including a breakfast bar and extra units creating a utility area, as these include an integrated washing machine, and space within a unit for your tumble dryer. The modern Kansas Pearwood units flow through to the main kitchen area and include floor and wall mounted storage cupboards, drawers and wine rack, also incorporating an integrated dishwasher, fridge / freezer, electric hob and double oven under, with cooker hood above. The worktops include a useful double bowl sink unit with mixer tap. Beyond the kitchen / breakfast room is a rear lobby leading out to the garden, and handy downstairs cloakroom which also includes the oil-fired Boulter boiler.

First Floor - The clever layout on the first floor allows for three double bedrooms and three sets of "facilities". Those with children or regular guests are sure to appreciate the privacy and no more need to queue! The landing includes an airing cupboard with slatted shelving.

The master bedroom is a lovely room with southerly facing views across the village to the countryside beyond, and a separate dressing area with built-in double wardrobe. It turn this leads through to a surprisingly roomy and light en suite shower room, fitted with a modern white suite comprising large walk-in shower cubicle with Mira mains shower, concealed cistern WC, vanity wash hand basin and associated storage. The bathroom is finished in crisp white tiling with blue mosaic border. The second / guest bedroom includes the access hatch to the loft space and also benefits from an attractive en suite shower room with neutral tiling. The third bedroom enjoys an outlook to the rear over the garden and paddocks beyond, and effectively has its own use of the family bathroom.

The property has attractive mullion windows to the front, with complementary dark aluminium double glazed inserts, and white double glazing to the rear.

Outside - There is a small front garden, bounded by a low wall and dotted with shrubs. To the side, the property has a vehicular right of way across the neighbouring driveway / access which leads onto its own driveway behind the property. This provides parking and turning space and access to the detached single garage of solid construction and pitched roof, with up and over door, power and light. To one side is a further area of hardstanding which could be used as additional parking, providing access to a greenhouse. The garden itself is laid to lawn with shrubs including mature Camelias and espalier fruit trees for screening. There is a small vegetable area with raised beds, and steps lead down to the rear of the house through a rockery area with herbs, clematis, rose and alpine plants. Adjoing the house are patio areas, with an outside tap. To the east side is a covered walkway used as a useful log store, and providing access to the oil tank.
