High Street, Queen Camel, Yeovil

VACANT. THIRD OF AN ACRE! WITH TRIPLE GARAGE! ‘1 Tithe Barn’ is a deceptively spacious (2777 square feet), natural stone, extended, semi-detached barn conversion situated near the heart of this popular Somerset village. The property stands in a generous, level plot extending to just under a third of an acre (0.30 acres approximately) with a lawned side garden enjoying a sunny southerly aspect and a large rear garden boasting a westerly aspect. There is driveway parking for five cars or more leading to a triple garage. The property does require some cosmetic updating. However, it is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and yet retains some lovely, exposed beams and internal natural stone elevations. It is heated by oil-fired radiator central heating, an LPG fire and also boasts a mixture of double glazing. The well laid out accommodation benefits from flexible ground floor accommodation and a sunny east-to -west aspect. It comprises entrance porch / boot room, entrance reception hall, sitting room, garden room / ground floor garden bedroom, conservatory, open-plan kitchen / dining room, office, utility room and ground WC. On the first floor, there is a landing area, generous double master bedroom with large en-suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property boasts fantastic scope for extension at the side and rear for reconfiguration or extension, subject to the necessary planning permission. There are countryside and pretty village centre walks from nearby the front door. The friendly village of Queen Camel has a village pub, village shop, Post Office, Medical Centre and Parish Church. It has the popular, 2016 built, Countess Gytha pre-school and primary school, and also within the parish is Hazelgrove Preparatory School. On the vacated old school site is now a Community Centre that includes a café, beautician, hairdresser and well-being therapists. There is easy access to the A303 London/South West Road
