In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, WC, sitting room, garden room, dining room, and kitchen/dining room to the ground floor, with three bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family shower room to the first floor. With over 1,500 sq ft of accommodation, The Corner House is a versatile, welcoming and spacious home. The large, dual aspect kitchen/dining room is beautifully appointed and benefits from a substantial Rangemaster oven and is a great space for socialising with family and friends. The sitting room is the perfect setting to unwind and relax with a wood-burner providing an attractive focal point as well as practical warmth. It leads into a dining room to one end, which could also be utilised as a snug, play room or study, depending on one’s needs. The latest addition to this home is a southerly-facing garden room, ideal for watching the seasons unfold as well as seamlessly blending inside with out. To the first floor are three double bedrooms, with the master having the luxury of its own ensuite and the remaining two bedrooms being serviced by the family shower room. The property has undergone significant improvements by its current owners to provide contemporary, comfortable and practical accommodation which will no doubt attract families, retirees and those simply wanting an exclusive address within the centre of this thriving and sought after village.

Hinton St George village centre comprises mainly period houses, built in local honey-coloured hamstone, which has preserved a special character through little change over the centuries, due to careful consideration of the villagers and the Poulett family, in whose hands it rested until the 1960s. The village has a post office with general store, a well-known Gastro pub - the Lord Poulett Arms, church, primary school and village hall. The village has rural nature, with many varied countryside walks in the locality. Despite this, the communications links are excellent with the A303 approximately 3 miles to the north, leading to the M3 into London and the M5 to the west giving easy access to the north and south west peninsula. Rail connections are available at Crewkerne and Taunton/Castle Cary to London Waterloo and London Paddington respectively. Leisure facilities and shopping may be found in the local market towns of Crewkerne (4 miles), Ilminster (6 miles), Yeovil (14 miles), south coast at Lyme Regis (19 miles). The area is well served by independent schools such as Perrott Hill School, Hazlegrove, Sherborne, Millfield and Port Regis; there are racecourses at Wincanton and Taunton and several golf courses within a 10 mile radius.

The property is approached by a private driveway giving access to off-road parking for a number of vehicles as well as the garage. It should be noted that parking is at an absolute premium within Hinton St. George, so discerning buyers will appreciate the benefit of this at The Corner House. The remainder of the grounds wrap around the property and are laid to a combination of shingle, patio and lawn and further complemented by an abundance of mature shrubs, trees and colourful flora. The patio, off the garden room, is a private and romantic setting for alfresco dining. The garage would also make an excellent gym or workshop depending on one’s requirements.
