Beautifully presented family home in Butleigh

The front door opens into an entrance lobby with a striking skylight and capacious storage cupboards. This leads into the hall, stairs and cloakroom. To the left is an elegant sitting room, double aspect with windows to the front and doors to the garden. A contemporary wood burning stove in a beautiful stone fireplace is the focal point of this lovely room, with attractive built-in shelving and cupboards on either side.

To the right is a big family kitchen.  Long windows and French doors all along one wall look out to the garden with space here for a large dining table and chairs.  The kitchen units are contemporary with clean lines and handle-less doors, a vast central island has an attractive and practical mix of Corian and wood, and seating at one end.  The stainless steel range cooker has a gas top and there is space for an American style fridge-freezer.  A separate laundry room has a further sink and room for appliances and drying racks.  Off the kitchen is a spacious family /TV room with lots of space for sofas, built-in cupboards and shelving and more doors to the garden (this room was formerly the double garage and could revert). 

On the first floor the master suite has a luxurious feel. An extremely spacious bedroom, with doors opening onto a pretty balcony with far reaching views taking in the Glastonbury Tor.  A dressing room with extensive wardrobes on either side leads you through to the bathroom with twin basins, a large shower and a bath.  The spacious landing has room for a desk by the window and leads to the family bathroom and two further double bedrooms, both with extensive built-in cupboards and one with an ensuite shower.

Up on the top floor, there are more excellent storage cupboards on the landing, two bedrooms and a shower room.  Both bedrooms are spacious and light, one with clever built-in storage behind the bed and the other currently makes a superb office.
