Description

A beautifully presented five bedroom detached period cottage with garage, carport, ample parking and delightful gardens, situated in the rural South Somerset village of Forton.

This attractive 19th century home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated by the current owners, successfully blending modern comforts with an abundance of original character and charm. The mature grounds wrap around the property and have been lovingly cultivated over many years, featuring areas of lawn, paved seating spaces, a feature pond and an array of established shrubs and planting, all enjoying a peaceful backdrop of adjoining fields and open countryside.

The spacious accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming 23ft lounge with an attractive fireplace and dual aspect double glazed windows, creating a warm and inviting living space. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wooden shaker-style units incorporating integrated appliances and a built-in larder, while a separate utility room provides additional storage and appliance space together with access to a downstairs shower room.

Further versatile living accommodation includes a dining room opening into a charming garden room overlooking the beautiful grounds. The current owners utilise these rooms as a music room and dining area respectively, demonstrating the flexibility the property offers.

To the first floor are five well-proportioned double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly spacious double room enjoying views over the side garden and benefiting from an accompanying wash hand basin. Bedrooms two and three are also generous doubles, with bedroom three further enhanced by a built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is fitted with an elegant four-piece suite comprising a roll-top bath, separate shower cubicle and attractive wooden panelling.

Externally, a brick paved driveway to the front provides parking and access to the garage, while additional parking is available to the side where a substantial wooden carport sits alongside a stone chipped parking area.
