Abbey Street, Crewkerne, Somerset, TA18

A charming 2/3 bed Georgian apartment with parking, quietly situated in a sought after and historic area of Crewkerne, within a short walk of local amenities. Offered with no onward chain.


An attractive, individual and spacious two/three bedroom apartment in an elegant listed building, formerly a home for the headmasters of the ancient Crewkerne Grammar School, which now serves as the church hall. It has the benefit of an allocated off-road parking space and a quiet courtyard, shared only with the upper flat. In brief, the property comprises a private entrance hall, three bedrooms, living room, kitchen/dining room and family bathroom.
There is gas-fired central heating throughout, supplied by a combi boiler, the property is in good decorative order and has fitted carpets throughout.
The apartment shares its entrance from the courtyard with one other apartment. The spacious communal entrance hall has its original flagstone floor and an imposing staircase that leads to the private entrance halls, on separate floors, of the two upper floor flats.
The well-proportioned and light living room benefits from a wonderful south-facing view across to the 15th century hamstone Church of St Bartholomew’s, often named as one of England’s top hundred church buildings. A gas-fired log effect stove set in an original hamstone fireplace provides a cosy focus to the room.
The west-facing sash window in the adjoining kitchen/diner has fine country views across neighbouring gardens. It is fitted with a gas-fired hob, electric oven, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and offers ample room for dining.
The three bedrooms include a generously sized master and a guest bedroom with room for a double bed, both with lovely views to the front. The third bedroom is currently used as a study/office, a useful space for working from home.
All the bedrooms are served by the large family bathroom which has the luxury of a corner bath and separate shower.

The property is situated in Abbey Street, a quiet residential road. A short walk in one direction leads into the town centre and in the other direction a lane takes you into the countryside with a network of rural footpaths. The property overlooks the beautiful and historic St Bartholomew’s Church and also has fine country views to the side. Crewkerne is an attractive former market town with a range of shopping facilities including independent shops, a Waitrose supermarket, pubs and cafes.
