Description

NO ONWARD CHAIN - A rare opportunity to purchase one of these historic hamstone homes dating from the 1830's.
Formerly part of the Rope Works the original building was converted to 6 houses, this being the widest of the cottages and having the largest footprint.
These properties are rarely available on the open market, land registry tells us that only one property has been offered to the market in the last 20 years and that was a probate sale.
It's certainly true, once you are here, it's very hard to leave as you are situated in what feels like the middle of nowhere, yet in between South Petherton, Bower Hinton and Martock.
This is a property we recommend viewing if you are looking for seclusion, yet not too far from anywhere; nice neighbours who will become friends and offering a little bit of local history and with the River Parrett on your doorstep.

Approach

Parrett Works forms an impossible to miss feature in the heart of the countryside. To access this property you have 3 options.
Option 1: Vehicle access is provided on the Western side over a shared drive which is accessed from the main road. You can park in the 3rd bay, there is space for 3 vehicles here and we will meet you and bring you through the garden gate and up the path to the rear door.
Option 2: Pedestrian gate from the main road, the least used access point. This brings you across the rear of 2 neighbouring properties, handy if you want to pop around to the cafe.
Option 3: This is a vehicle access path, there is nowhere to park so we suggest only using this if you want to enter through the front door.
Most owners use the rear over the garden access as this is direct to the parking area and have blocked up the front door to improve the seating space in the large living room.

Living Space

Working from the rear access, you enter an enclosed lean-to structure at the rear, ideal if you have pets or kids and want to decamp before entering the house.
The rear hallway then offers more storage and practical space.
Bathroom: Set to the rear of the property this is a big room with bath, shower over, WC and wash basin built into a vanity unit.
Kitchen: A large, square room with views to the rear, timber frame storage and door opening to the stairs to the first floor.
Living Room: There is a large feature multi-fuel burner in the corner. Other owners along here have blocked up the front door which provides access to the exterior to maximise the usage of the space on offer.

Upstairs

Stairs emerge to the landing which has a half window offering some natural light as well as a loft access hatch.
The principal bedroom is large with 2 storage areas and 2 windows.
2nd and 3rd bedrooms are also of a good size, ideal for kids or guest accommodation with space for a home office.

Garden

The garden is set out in several areas and is accessed initially from the parking area through a timber gate to a patio laid area with 2 sheds, ideal for storage.
Trellis then separates this area to the main garden which is designed to be easily maintained with an abundance of mature growth along the borders.
At the upper end, there is gated access to the walkway which runs along all the properties and then to the house itself.
Handily there is power and a tap available.
