The Avenue, Stoke-Sub-Hamdon, Somerset

THE AGENT SAYS...
Offering a deceptive amount of living space, 7 The Avenue is an inviting property presented in good order and ready to move into. While there is no work required the house offers the new owners the potential to easily add their own stamp.The property has a lovely private garden backing onto apple orchards, which has been attractively landscaped and benefits from a fully insulated timber studio that would work well as a home office, sun room or hideaway. There is also a substantial timber garage for storage or hobbies.


THE PROPERTY
The main entrance is at the side of the property and opens to the hall from where doors lead off to the sitting and dining room (these rooms are interconnected at the rear). The sitting room is a generous size with a lovely cosy feel. The electric fire with surround is an attractive focal point as you enter the room. The dining room comfortably accommodates a family dining table for eight, with space for additional storage furniture. Sliding doors lead into the conservatory which in turn leads out to the patio and garden beyond. At the rear of the sitting room is the kitchen, which is a good size with a practical layout. There is a freestanding double-oven with gas hob and extractor, an integrated dishwasher and fridge/ freezer, and space and plumbing for a washing machine. Off the kitchen is a small lobby with a handy WC and a door out
to the garden.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms - two doubles and a single - and the family shower room. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and also houses the airing cupboard. The smart family shower room has a large shower with power shower, vanity storage, and a useful built-in cupboard on the landing outside. The third bedroom is currently used as a hobby room.

OUTSIDE
At the front of the property is a large gravel parking area for several cars with a path leading to the main entrance. A low fence delineates the drive from the rear garden, with a pedestrian gate alongside the house and double gates through to the garage. The large timber garage, which sits alongside the conservatory, has power and lighting, 4 bifold door to the front (which opens to a large concrete pad), and a pedestrian entrance from the garden.

At the rear there is an attractive patio adjoining the house, with a planted raised border to one side and a timber shed on the other. The patio becomes a path which leads to the lawn, fully insulated garden studio, and further storage sheds. The garden backs onto apple orchards and has a lovely design that leads your eye while keeping some areas hidden, including a secluded seating area alongside the studio. The fully insulated garden room/studio/home office benefits from power, lighting, and bi-fold doors that open up the side. It should be noted that the adjoining neighbour has a pedestrian right of way across the back of the property.

Given the size of the plot there is plenty of room to extend to the side, subject to necessary consents.
