Merriott Road, Lopen, South Petherton, TA13

An impressive and handsome 3 double bedroom (with potential for 4), detached country residence, set within its own generous plot, with plenty of parking and situated in a highly convenient and sought after area. No onward chain.



An ideal opportunity to acquire a three bedroom detached country residence with front and rear gardens, plenty of parking and situated in the ever popular hamlet of Lopen. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/family room, WC and utility to the ground floor with three bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. Mill House has been lovingly and sympathetically updated to provide the very best of contemporary living with traditional charm. The entrance hall is as impressive as it is beautiful, with flagstone flooring and a panelled staircase being the main features. The expansive kitchen/family room is the perfect setting for entertaining with ample space for a seating/dining area and bi-fold doors seamlessly uniting inside with out. The slick, well-appointed kitchen, is packed full of quality units and workspaces which will prove popular with keen cooks whilst the large central island adds to the practicality and style. The dining room can be found at the heart of the home and although currently set up to include a study and seating area, would become a fabulous space for those who enjoy formal dinner parties. Beyond this lies the full-depth and triple aspect sitting room. Its direct access outside means it really is a great reception space to relax throughout the seasons. The utility and WC make up the more functional components at ground level. To the first floor are three generous doubles with the master benefiting from a luxurious ensuite. The remaining two are both serviced by the sumptuous family bathroom which has the luxury of a separate shower and bath. The width and scale of the landing lends itself to being utilised as a study area, which will appeal to those who work from home. The real joy of this home, is its ability to feel intimate enough for just a couple of people but spacious enough to absorb any number of guests - making it an ideal country retreat or family home. With over 2,000 sq ft of accommodation, there is plenty of scope to stamp one’s own creative aspirations on it too. It should be noted that there is planning permission to create a fourth bedroom should one wish. We would strongly recommend retirees, families and those simply wanting semi-rural living to view.
