Holton, Wincanton, Somerset, BA9

An outstanding a slightly quirky family home offering up to six bedrooms within nearly 3 acres of garden and orchard.



PROPERTY
Formerly four individual cottages, they have been combined and extended to create one intriguing family home. The property is bursting with character features and charm including flag stone and wooden floors, beams and inglenook fireplaces.
The dining hall welcomes you into the centre of the home and flows seamlessly into the family room and the kitchen. Original stone stairs rise from the dining hall to three double bedrooms and a well-appointed shower room.
Along a short passage is an office or hobby area. From here, stairs lead down to the utility and boiler room and W/C. There is also storage and an external door. Steps lead up to the main siting room where you’ll find French doors to a ‘sunken’ courtyard and a door to the garden. Stairs rise from here to a double bedroom, a single bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, a bathroom with shower and a good size attic room. This versatile ‘wing’ is perfect for multi -generational living or to provide income.

THE SITUATION
The small village of Holton benefits from a 14th Century church and public house. The village lies 2 miles south west of Wincanton where you will find most every day amenities including supermarkets, doctor, dentist and an array of independent and national retailers, whilst the popular town of Bruton lies approximately 7 miles to the north. The Village is well served by good road and rail transport links, with the A303 to the north providing links to London, the South West and M5. Gillingham and Castle Cary railway stations provide regular services to London. For your leisure, there are many local places of interest including The Newt, Stourhead, Sherborne Castles and more and a variety of local sports clubs and a leisure centre and gym in Wincanton for something more active.
The area is well known for the choice of good private schools.

OUTSIDE
The garden is a delight! Stone paths meander around the beautifully designed spaces: from a raised patio with sleeper edged borders, a Mediterranean inspired ‘sunken’ courtyard, a vegetable garden and an enchanted woodland seating area amongst the cider orchard, and a large lawn. A number of outbuildings provide useful storage including one that would make a ‘fab’ home office, studio or hobby room. A car port and off-road parking complete the outside space with measures nearly 3 acres in all.

The property benefits from planning permission for an attached garage with room above and side extension. See South Somerset planning ref: 23/02882/HOU
