Lower Odcombe, Yeovil, Somerset

THE AGENT SAYS...
A charming semi-detached cottage which is ready to move straight into but still offers the new owners potential to add their stamp. This could be as simple as redecorating, or a more complex alteration of the first floor layout to create a staircase to the attic room. The garden is also a lovely blank canvas for the green-fingered.

THE PROPERTY
French doors open into a small front porch which protects the sitting room from the elements. The sitting room runs the depth of the property and enjoys morning and evening light. The room is centred around an attractive fireplace with slate hearth, wooden surround and a wood-burning stove. There are pleasingly symmetrical alcoves either side of the chimney breast with built-in shelves. At the rear of the room a lobby provides access to the garden.

Off the sitting room is the kitchen which is small but perfectly formed with everything you need and a lovely outlook over the garden. The adjoining dining room offers additional storage space and comfortably accommodates a 6-seater table. The bay window at the front has potential for a lovely dining (and storage) bench to be built within it.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms - two good sized doubles and a single - and the family bathroom. There is also an airing cupboard on the landing for linens/towels. The converted attic has plenty of space for a double bed and additional furniture, with built-in storage in the eaves. It may be possible to make this a permanent bedroom (subject to consents) - and enlarge the family bathroom - by altering the first floor layout.

OUTSIDE
The fully enclosed garden is laid to lawn, with a paved area abutting the house, and is a blank canvas for the new owners. There is vehicular/pedestrian access to the garden at the side but no parking.

SERVICES
Mains water, electricity and drainage. Gas-fired central heating with radiators.
