North Cheriton, Templecombe

The house was built in the mid 1970s as a small group of ex farm buildings and The Granary was extended then into the family home it is now, along with a good holding of land. The Granary is built of local stone with a tiled roof and the extension blends well into the older part.

From the front door is an entrance hall with a downstairs wc on the right and a study immediately in front of you with a window overlooking the driveway. On the way to the dining hall is a sitting room with French doors to a patio area and the steps up to the driveway. A wood burning fire is inset to a stone fire surround and there is plenty of wall space along the back wall.

The stairs, made of oak, lead off from the dining hall, with its oak beams, which links to the kitchen / breakfast room. The kitchen has a range of wall and floor units, integrated dishwasher, a double over, an induction hob and extractor over. This large space is ideal for family to gather. The utility room is off to the side with a further external door to the rear of the property. There is space and plumbing for washing machines and also houses the oil fired boiler. From the breakfast area are French doors to the conservatory with fan and overlooks a small enclosed part of the garden and has an external door access to the rear of the house.

Upstairs are up to four bedrooms although the master bedroom is currently opened up to the fourth bedroom through an arch and is currently the dressing room. There are views directly from both rooms over the 6.91 acre field and stables. Bedroom 2 has an en suite bathroom with shower over, a wc, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. There is a good amount of eaves space with a roof lantern above. Bedroom 3, with a double built in wardrobe, has views over the Blackmore Vale.
