Imediate Area - The village of Hinton St George is bursting with beautiful houses, stunning surrounding countryside and a real sense of community. The village itself has an award winning pub with rooms (the Lord Poulett Arms), a well stocked shop with post office, a primary school, recreation ground, play park, village hall and a 13th Century Church. The market town of Crewkerne is 3 miles away and has an hourly train service to London Waterloo. The larger town of Yeovil is about 12 miles away and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast just 18 miles distant. Easy access to the A303 and M5.

The Cottage - Dating back to the 18th Century the cottage is built of local Ham Stone under a slate roof. The cottage has amazingly been in the same ownership for the last 67 years. It is in overall good order and has an unusually good sized garden for a cottage in this village.

Interior - Through the front door of the cottage is a long entrance hall, the dining room off to the right with a fireplace and wood burning stove. At the end of the hall a door takes you into the sitting room, again with fireplace and wood burning stove. These two reception rooms could be changed around so that the dining room is next to the kitchen if so wished. In the sitting room is a good sized under stairs cupboard and further built in storage. Another door takes you through to the kitchen/breakfast room which has enough space for a table and chairs to one end. Continuing through you reach the utility/back hall. This has double doors out to the garden and a single door to the courtyard at the side. A shower room finishes off the ground floor. Stairs lead up between the two reception rooms to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms and a pretty bathroom with standalone bath looking out to the garden. A pull down ladder takes you to the good sized attic room that has been used as a hobby room in the past but would make a great additional bedroom.

Outside - To the rear of the house is a really great sized garden (approx 100ft x 50ft) that is mainly lawn with a patio area nearer the house and a stone store. To the side is a courtyard with access to a further store. The cottage owns a pathway, accessed from the front, that leads to the back garden.

Services - Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected to the house. Oil fired central heating (there is mains gas in the street).

Local Authority - Somerset Council - Band E.

Eaves Notes - The attic room has serious scope to be converted into a 3rd bedroom. the two houses either side have done exactly that and the windows are already in.

Summary - A two bedroom Ham Stone cottage, with potential for a third bedroom, in the charming village of Hinton St George.
