Accommodation
Pinewood was built in 1910 having been the original ‘Pinewood’ house and continues to be one of the most prominent homes within this residential part of Somerton. The house retains many character features throughout, typical of its era including picture rails, bay windows, high ceilings and ornate ceiling roses. It is set back from the lane, behind a set of gates which open to a parking area in front of the property. 

A porch shelters the front door which in turn enters the inviting entrance hall. This is a fabulous room in which to welcome guests and is full of period details with light pouring in through the south facing bay window. The main living rooms lead of the reception hall, notably the sitting room, dining room and breakfast room. 

The sitting and dining rooms are both light and airy reception rooms which can be flexible for use. Either one of the two rooms could be used as a ground floor bedroom and there is a shower room just across the hall at the foot of the stairs. Both rooms have bay windows, French doors out to the garden and fireplaces; one with an inset gas stove and the other with a wood burner.

The kitchen has been totally refurbished with new appliances including a Neff double oven with microwave function, induction hob and integral Bosch dishwasher. There are sleek high gloss units with plenty of storage provided and an adjoining utility/pantry. The kitchen itself has a triple aspect with a stable style door leading out towards the garage. 

Off the kitchen there is a lovely relaxed seating area which could be used as a breakfast or family room and at the back of the house there is a garden room extension which has been totally re-roofed and insulated, as has the kitchen. The garden room also benefits from power and radiators, therefore can be enjoyed all year round.

Leading up the stairs, there is the aforementioned shower room which has been completely updated and at the same time the owners also upgraded the family bathroom on the first floor. The family bathroom is generously proportioned and enjoys a bath, separate walk-in shower, twin basins and loo.

All three main bedrooms are comfortable doubles and each have built in wardrobes. Two of the rooms also have a pretty feature fireplace. Accessed from the landing, there is an airing cupboard and loft hatch.
