Orchard Close, West Coker, Yeovil, Somerset

THE AGENT SAYS...
Originally a small and simple bungalow, Woodville has been extended over time to create a unique and spacious home. The attractive but unassuming facade belies the modern architectural features of this lovely property, which boasts a magnificent glass gable and a delightful balcony off the main bedroom. Inside the kitchen/dining room and the first floor have a distinctly Scandinavian feel with light-filled spaces, pale colours, wood panelling, and a sense of being tied to nature by the expansive views.

THE PROPERTY
The front door opens to the entrance hall which has two useful storage cupboards. To the right is a super size utility room which has plenty of storage, a large sink and drainer, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier, and also houses the boiler.

At the end of the hall there are two bedrooms, a shower wet room, and a separate WC. Bedroom 2 is a good-size double room with fitted storage and bedroom 3 is a generous single/small double room which overlooks the rear garden. Also overlooking the rear garden is the sitting room which has large sliding doors out to the patio. This nicely proportioned room has an unusual fireplace with built-in storage to the sides. Fully glazed double doors open into the extension which houses the impressive kitchen/dining room. The dining area has lovely views to the rear and there are large sliding doors on the west side that open out on to the patio. The kitchen has a highly efficient G-shape layout fitted with modern gloss finish slab units and integrated appliances. A door leads from the kitchen through to the utility room.

First Floor
An elegant spiral staircase leads up from the kitchen dining room to a spectacular galleried landing. This large, bright and airy space is illuminated by floor to ceiling windows on the west side, with more light pouring in from two south-facing skylights, all of which is reflected back by the mirrored doors of the cupboard/ bathroom. The current owners have made clever use of this landing space by setting up a home office area under the skylights, with a curtain to divide off/hide the space if desired. This home office area leads through into the stunning principal bedroom with its south-facing balcony that overlooks the fields at the rear. The bedroom is bright and spacious with abundant storage, including fitted wardrobes, a built-in cupboard, and access to the eaves.

The first floor bathroom is hidden away behind the mirrored doors on the landing. The bathroom is finished in crisp white with a wood panelled ceiling; fittings comprise a bath with shower mixer tap, WC, wash basin, heated towel rail, and slimline wall storage with countertop space.

OUTSIDE
A block paved driveway provides off-road parking alongside the house with the garage at the end. At the front of the property is a shaped lawn with a hedge providing privacy. A pedestrian gate leads into the rest of the garden which wraps around the side and rear of the house. Nearest the front of the house is a partially walled kitchen garden with large raised beds and a greenhouse. A trellis covered in honeysuckle separates this from the sunny lawned garden which runs alongside the house and around the rear. The garden is enclosed by attractive stone walls and overlooks open fields. A patio wraps around the property, making the most of the south and west aspects, and there is a lean-to pergola alongside the sitting room; there is a pedestrian door into the garage under this pergola. The lawn rises up slightly at the rear of the house and there are a couple of steps up from the patio outside the sitting room to a lawned terrace.
