Lamyatt, Somerset, BA4

Situated in the heart of the charming and highly desirable village of Lamyatt, just two miles from the fashionable market town of Bruton, this attractive detached house offers space, versatility, and scope for additional accommodation.

Built in 1993 with attractive natural stone elevations, the property sits comfortably among the character cottages and period homes that define this picturesque rural village.

Behind the house lies a formal garden, beyond which stretches a two-acre field with countryside views, providing access to the village hall and church, as well as a network of countryside walks.

The property was originally designed to accommodate four bedrooms; however, the current owners opted for a layout better suited to their lifestyle, creating an exceptionally spacious principal bedroom in place of the fourth. If required, reinstating the original design to provide four bedrooms could easily be achieved. In addition, the loft was constructed with provisions in place to allow for future conversion into further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

The welcoming front door opens into a spacious hallway with a cloakroom conveniently positioned to the left. To the right lies a bright and airy sitting room running the full depth of the house, featuring an attractive inglenook-style fireplace with flue, ready for a wood-burning stove. Double doors open through to the dining room, which in turn leads via sliding doors to a light-filled conservatory overlooking the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is generously proportioned, fitted with a peninsula unit that incorporates both storage and a breakfast bar. Beyond lies a useful utility/boot room, complete with a butler sink, work surfaces, and an oil-fired boiler.

Upstairs, three double bedrooms are arranged around a spacious landing. The principal bedroom is particularly striking, extending across the full width of the house, while the family bath/shower room features Jack and Jill doors, providing en-suite convenience to the main bedroom.

Outside
To the front, the property offers off-road parking and access to a garage via double doors. A side path leads to the rear garden, attractively laid to lawn and featuring a covered seating area, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.

A gate at the end of the garden opens onto a sloping two-acre field, from which there are far-reaching countryside views. Within the field stands a pole barn and a characterful shepherd’s hut (a former railway carriage), available by separate negotiation.

In summary, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-proportioned detached house in a sought-after Somerset village, with the added benefits of a two-acre field, and far-reaching countryside views. Combining village charm with easy access to Bruton and Castle Cary.
