Cheriton Hill, North Cheriton, Templecombe, BA8

Occupying an elevated position with far-reaching countryside views, this impressive four bedroom detached house sits within a large mature garden and offers 2,394 sq ft of generous and versatile living accommodation.

Constructed in 1976 with attractive natural stone elevations, the property combines character with excellent potential for modernisation.

Accommodation-The ground floor provides an abundance of versatile living space, with four well-proportioned reception rooms offering flexibility for both family life and entertaining.

Upon entering through the porch, a cloakroom is conveniently positioned on the right. A spacious dining hall lies at the heart of the home, perfectly positioned beside the kitchen, which enjoys a rear aspect and is well-equipped with a good range of units. Off the kitchen, there is a useful utility/boot room with a door giving assess to the rear porch. The remaining three reception rooms are particularly spacious, including a light and airy living room featuring an impressive stone hearth with an open fireplace.

Upstairs, a generous landing provides an ideal study or reading area and leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from pleasant outlooks. This level is further complemented by the convenience of two family bathrooms.

While the property would benefit from some sympathetic modernisation, it presents an excellent opportunity for purchasers to create a truly individual family home. Furthermore, there is potential to form an annex within the existing footprint (subject to the necessary consents).
Outside. Set within an extensive mature plot, the property enjoys a delightful setting enhanced by picturesque natural stone boundary walls which retain elements of the former walled garden from the neighbouring farmhouse.

Beyond the barn lies an expanse of lawn incorporating an orchard, from which there are views across the Blackmore Vale countryside towards the iconic Alfred’s Tower. Abutting the rear of the house is a large paved terrace offering an ideal spot for outdoor dining and relaxation, with steps leading down to the barn and main body of the garden.
