West Street, South Petherton, Somerset, TA13

A very rare and exclusively positioned, 4 bedroom, timber frame lodge set in amazing walled gardens of over half an acre within a stone’s throw of the centre of South Petherton and offered with no onward chain.


In our opinion, this four bedroom detached lodge occupies one of South Petherton’s finest plots with grounds extending to over half an acre, garage, parking and within an easy walk of the centre of the village. In brief, the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, integral garage, study, family room/dining room, sitting room, four bedrooms, family bathroom and a separate family shower room. This wonderful property comes to the market for the first time in almost 15 years, testament to what a happy home it has been. Although the property is of a non-standard construction it offers the perfect blank canvas on which to stamp one’s own design aspirations – a manageable Grand Designs project if you will. With nearly 2,000 sq ft of accommodation, Cedar Lodge is incredibly spacious and versatile, making it an enticing proposition for any discerning buyer. The light, well-fitted kitchen has plenty of work space, room for a small table and is further complemented by a useful utility room. The study could serve a multitude of purposes including a gym, studio or further bedroom and also takes in views to the garden. Those who enjoy formal entertaining will appreciate the advantage of a separate dining/family room which in turn leads to the sitting room. The sitting room itself is a divine space to enjoy through the seasons, with a wood burning stove providing practical heat and bi-folding seamlessly, uniting inside with out. All four bedrooms are generously proportioned and in turn are serviced by the family bathroom and separate family shower room. This truly remarkable property will be the envy of any guest and whether you’re a family, require single-storey living or simply want to enjoy life in the prestigious and exceedingly popular village of South Petherton, we strongly recommend you view.

The historic village of South Petherton, only a few minutes’ walk away, offers a good selection of day-to-day facilities including boutique stores, a butcher, baker, greengrocer, wine merchant, pharmacy, doctor, hospital, newsagent and a Co-Op, along with the new award winning restaurant and rooms, HOLM. The village has an active community spirit and welcomes a revived annual Folk Festival and other local events throughout the year. The David Hall offers a variety of music, arts and culture. Yeovil to the east or the county town of Taunton to the west both offer a wider selection of shopping and recreational facilities. Communication links to the area are good, with the A303 providing links to the M3 and London and to the M5 at Taunton. Mainline stations at Castle Cary, Yeovil, Crewkerne and Taunton offer regular services to central London (from Castle Cary—1.5 hours). There are international airports at both Exeter and Bristol.

The property is approached by it’s own private driveway, giving access to off-road parking for multiple cars as well as the garage. The garden can mainly be found to the rear and is laid to sweeping lawns and an abundance of shrubs, colourful flora, trees and rare plants. Keen gardeners will be taken by its beauty, those with children will love the vast playground it offers whilst those with pets will appreciate it is fully enclosed. The outside space also offers almost complete privacy and whether it’s family gatherings, alfresco dining or simply whiling away the warmer months outdoors, there are few better settings.
