West Hill, Wincanton, Somerset, BA9

A substantial four-bedroom DETACHED house with glorious SOUTH FACING garden situated in an elevated position at the top of WEST HILL with spectacular PANORAMIC VIEWS across Wincanton and the Blackmore Vale. This beautiful family home enjoys spacious living accommodation with a kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, dining room and sun room with French doors opening out to the patio creating a wonderful entertaining space. The property sits in just over a quarter of an acre with a private driveway and garage.

Entering the property, via the enclosed porch into the hallway, a downstairs WC is conveniently located with stairs to the first floor and a spacious understairs cupboard with lighting. The dual aspect ‘L shaped’ kitchen/breakfast room, with wooden wall and base units, pantry cupboard and three separate worktop areas, is a practical use of the space with a door through to the sunroom and hatch to the dining room. This substantial kitchen is fitted with a stainless-steel 1½ bowl sink with drainer, double Belling oven, four-ring gas hob and extractor with space for a fridge/freezer, three under-counter appliances and breakfast table. An internal door from the kitchen provides access to a workshop, garage and doors to the front and rear garden. The dining room and sitting room, both accessed via the hallway and with sliding doors to the sunroom, enjoy natural light from the garden with an attractive fireplace with gas fire creating a focal point within the sitting room. The sun room is a fantastic addition to this property with French doors out to the patio, Velux windows and Venetian blinds.

On the first floor, the length of the landing is fitted with floor to ceiling cupboards providing ample storage. The spacious principal bedroom and two further double bedrooms, one with built in units and dressing table, all enjoy fabulous views out over the South facing garden and Blackmore Vale beyond. The fourth double bedroom has been utilised as a study with built-in desk, drawers and shelving units. A family bathroom with bath, Mira Sprint electric shower, concertina screen, sink, vanity unit, airing cupboard with heated towel rail and obscured window sits next to a separate WC. A further shower room with Mira Sprint shower, sink and heated towel rail radiator next to bedroom two provides the option of creating an en-suite in the future. Access to the Hive controlled boiler is via a loft hatch in the office with the addition of a further boarded loft space with access ladder.

The Outside
The front of the property is bordered by a stone wall with an open entrance, parking for several vehicles and access to the garage with electric up and over door. An area of hardstanding with external electrical socket also provides space for a motorhome. A manicured lawn at the side of the driveway is edged with a tulip border, and evergreen woodland trees abut the wall, providing privacy with planted hellebores, bluebells, snowdrops and cyclamen beneath providing a wonderful feast of colour and interest. A wooden gate to the right side of the property provides access to the rear garden.

The rear garden is a beautiful oasis, providing picturesque views in a tranquil setting. The raised paved patio, accessed from the sun room, enjoys the sun all day, with steps down to an expanse of lawned garden with planted borders. Established evergreens beyond create a boundary with trellis fencing leading through to ‘no-dig’ beds, providing an abundance of fruits and vegetables throughout the year alongside two fruit bearing apple trees. The garden is complemented by two good sized sheds, rotational compost bins, rainwater storage and an outside tap.
