Seavington, Ilminster

THE AGENT SAYS...
1 Manor Cottages comprises half of a very attractive, double fronted hamstone property with intricate white bargeboards. The charm continues inside with ledged doors and black ironmongery, stone floors and a pretty brick fireplace. The house has been beautifully finished and the uninterrupted view from the kitchen over the garden and fields beyond is a particular feature.

THE PROPERTY
The front door opens into a small hallway with the stairs directly ahead and the cosy sitting room on the right. Decorated in neutral tones, red soft furnishings add warmth which is enhanced by the pretty brick fireplace with arched lintel and wood burning stove. Beneath the large window is a lovely window seat, perfect to enjoy a book from the builtin bookcase under the stairs. Behind the sitting room is the dining room, which has been knocked through to the kitchen to create a unified and social space. The dining room is a good size, accommodating a table, comfy chair and storage furniture.

A part-glazed door leads out to the driveway and garden. The lovely, light kitchen has windows stretching up from the worktop to the ceiling, overlooking the rear garden and field beyond. The rich green of the walls complements the oak worktops, sleek white units and stainless steel appliances. Clever design means there is plenty of worktop for the keen cook/baker, as well as ample storage, there is a built in fridge/ freezer, oven and microwave and space for a dishwasher. Off the dining room is a small lobby with a floor to ceiling cupboard and room to hang coats and store shoes. This lobby opens into the utility room with sink and WC, fitted units, space for a freezer and plumbing and space for a washing machine.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom 1 has a built-in wardrobe and there is a further full-height storage cupboard in the bathroom.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Up the side of the house is a paved drive/parking area with detached garage at the end. A couple of steps lead up to the level, lawned garden which overlooks open fields and is enclosed by post and rail fencing. Outside the dining room, steps lead up between the house and garage to the outbuilding with power and additional outdoor storage, ideal for logs.
