Waterwheel Court, Merriott, Somerset, TA16

A fabulous detached house offered for sale in excellent decorative order and benefitting from a professionally landscaped garden.

Built approximately 6 years ago by developers Ground Zero, this very well specified detached home forms part of the historic Tail Mill development that is found on the edge of this sought after village.

This former Show Home will appeal to different age groups and is considered ideal for a lock and leave residence with potentially very low day to day management and being economically affordable to run given the high insulation standards achieved when built.

This beautifully presented home is both double glazed and centrally heated (mains gas) and has been further enhanced under the current ownership to include the installation of a Contura wood-burner in one corner of the sitting room and previously the traditional radiators downstairs had been replaced with cast iron units.

The house affords a high level of natural light given the large windows, together with glazed internal doors where appropriate. The kitchen/dining room is particularly well specified with numerous Siemens appliances including a dishwasher, two ovens, gas hob with cooker hood over, an under counter freezer and full height fridge. The ground floor is further complemented by a downstairs cloakroom and a sizeable and most useful utility room.

The first floor comprises a quite superb master bedroom with glorious views over adjoining countryside and features two sets of double wardrobes and a luxuriously appointed en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is a good sized double whilst the third is a generous single that benefits from the views across countryside. The main bathroom has an integrated shower system above the bath and, as the photographs show, is also luxuriously appointed.

Tail Mill, a historic Grade II Listed former mill, dates back we believe to the 13th century and has, over the last few years, become a particularly smart residential development to include a small number of new builds as well as conversion from one of the original mill buildings. The village itself is within walking distance with facilities to include a garage/filling station, two general stores, a post office, pub and pharmacy. There are numerous activities to get involved with, if desired, with leisure facilities including a bowling green, tennis courts and a social club. The village also features a pre-school and primary school.

Merriott is well placed for quick road access to the likes of Yeovil, Chard, Ilminster and Crewkerne with the latter offering a main line railway that links directly to London Waterloo. West Bay and the Jurassic Coast are also very accessible to the south.

Directly in front of the property are two car parking spaces whilst there is also visitors parking just around the corner. A side path and gate lead to the garden which has been beautifully landscaped, designed by a local professional, and is very much a feature of the property. The garden is particularly well stocked with a host of flowers and shrubs, providing much colour at numerous times of the year. Immediately to the rear of the house is a patio area with external power sockets and a timber shed. The remainder of the garden is accessed via sweeping stone steps where a larger patio provides the perfect space for garden furniture and al fresco dining. The patio and adjacent lawn are edged with cottage style borders whilst there is also an ornamental birch and small apple tree. There is a second timber shed in one corner, ideal for garden implements.
