Description

A particularly flexible dwelling with spacious internal accommodation of nearly 3000 sq ft sitting centrally in about 1.6 acres of gardens and woods.

The Property - Crossways is believed to have origins dating back to the 1930s with extensions in recent times. The current owners carried out a programme of works and extensions between 2017 and 2020 and the house now offers very well laid out spacious accommodation. All rooms have good proportions and there are high ceilings. The ground floor has three double bedrooms, two of which have ensuite shower rooms. There is also a study, dining room, garden room, cloakroom and south facing dual aspect sitting room with a wood burning stove. The former garage has been converted into a superb triple aspect family kitchen with a large island, excellent range of wall mounted and floor standing units and a door to the bootroom.

On the first floor there are two further double bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room, a study area and attic room.

Outside - The property is approached from the lane via double wooden gates on to a gravel drive with parking for several cars. There is a large steel framed, timber clad garage and workshop with roller door, personnel door, power and light. At over 40' long x 18' wide this is an extremely useful building. The house sits centrally with the front garden being south facing and laid to lawn with hedge borders. There is a lovely sun-trap terrace accessed from the garden room.

Steps from the drive lead up to the back garden which is also laid to lawn with some lovely mature trees and a large wooden shed. The garden is adjoined by about 0.4 acres of woodland.

Situation - Pen Selwood is an elevated village within a National Landscape (formerly AONB) and bordering three counties. The countryside around is diverse and offers plentiful opportunity for access including in particular the National Trust property at Stourhead and King Alfred's Tower. The nearby towns of Gillingham, which has a Waitrose, and Wincanton provide a useful range of services to cater for most everyday needs whilst within one mile, the villages of Zeals and Bourton both have a pub, garage, primary school, church, village shop and post offices. The area is renowned for its excellent schools in both the state and private sector and The Newt in Somerset at Hadspen and Hauser and Wirth art gallery in Bruton are within easy driving distance. Gillingham and Castle Cary provide main line services to London Waterloo and Paddington and the A303 gives good road access to London and the South West.
