Hillcrest Road, Yeovil, Somerset

THE AGENT SAYS...
This mid-terraced property has been substantially improved and updated by the current owners who have created a superb kitchen/dining room, sitting room and bathroom. With all of the most costly renovations done (including new windows and doors), the new owners have only to add their personal stamp to the bedrooms to finish the transformation of this home. The property has a lovely garden and the great benefit of a detached building that houses a workshop and studio accommodation.

THE PROPERTY
The front door opens into a good-size hall from where the stairs rise to the first floor. At the end of the hall is the unexpectedly large kitchen/dining room which is a super family space. The clever design makes best use of the L shape, with the cleaning and storage zone - housing the sink; integrated fridge-freezer, microwave, and dishwasher; and abundant fitted storage - tucked out of sight of the dining table. The extension houses the cooking zone - with built-in double oven, induction hob and extractor - and an island breakfast bar. The dining area comfortably accommodates a table for four and has views over the garden from the French doors. Light streams into this delightful space from two large skylights.

Within the kitchen, a dinky study has been slotted into what was formerly a WC - a great spot for catching up on household paperwork, children to do their homework or scope to turn back into a WC with plumbing already in place.

Double doors lead from the dining area into the beautifully presented sitting room. This cosy and welcoming family room is centred around a most attractive fireplace with a wood-burning stove and tiled hearth. The large alcoves either side of the chimney breast provide plenty of space for storage and display. A single door leads back out into the entrance hall.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Like the kitchen and sitting room, the bathroom has been fully refurbished and is very smartly finished in a warm taupe and grey palette with feature tiling. The three bedrooms comprise a double room and two singles and are ready for the new owners to add their stamp. There may be scope to adjust the upstairs layout if desired.

OUTSIDE
The front garden is laid to gravel with a concrete central path leading to the front door. There is room to park a car either side of this path. At the rear there is a raised terrace connecting the house to the garden with a balustrade enclosing the seating area. Steps lead down to a patio and beyond this the garden is fully laid to lawn. A path runs down the side of the garden to the workshop and home office/studio. The studio has been subdivided into a bedroom and sitting room and has lighting, power outlets and electric heating. There is a pedestrian gate at the end of the garden providing rear access and a outdoor tap alongside the kitchen.
