Grove Avenue, Yeovil, Somerset

PROPERTY 
An imposing Edwardian property tastefully finished to a high standard, with period colours used in many of the rooms. Architectural features include ornate plaster ceiling roses, cornicing, picture rails, deep skirting boards, oak windows and doors, and stripped wooden floors. The large windows flood the rooms with light, creating a warm and welcoming glow. The kitchen and adjoining family room work well together to create a sociable living space and the impressive sitting room is currently home to a baby grand piano. The house has seven bedrooms but these could be put to many different uses and there is scope to add ensuite facilities/extra bathrooms. Outside, the west facing garden receives plenty of afternoon sunshine and offers plenty of potential for those with green fingers.

THE PROPERTY

Ground Floor

The main entrance is at the side of the property and opens into a lobby which protects the entrance hall from the elements. At the front of the house is the bright and inviting sitting room which has an attractive fireplace as a focal point, exposed wooden flooring, two large windows, and room for a grand piano. The hall turns alongside the stairs and flows into the large farmhouse kitchen.

The kitchen is simple and functional with wooden units and freestanding appliances along one wall. A tall fridge-freezer fits comfortably on the opposite wall. Open shelving provides storage for crockery and glassware and there is a built-in pantry for dry goods. A large dining table ?ts comfortably in the space and French doors lead out to the garden. A wood-burning stove provides warmth on winter days. Off the kitchen is a wonderfully cosy family room, centred around a wood-burning stove, that is perfect for friends and family to kick off their shoes and relax. There is also a utility room with separate WC.

Upper Floors

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is on this floor and is a bright and generous space. The main bathroom adjoins this room and has potential to become an ensuite by creating a separate family bathroom elsewhere (bedroom seven is an excellent candidate for this).

On the second floor there are three further double bedrooms and access to the roof terrace. There are no bathroom facilities on this floor but there may be potential to add them with some reconfiguration of the space. With a bathroom this floor could work well as self-contained/guest accommodation.

OUTSIDE 
The house is approached across a gravel drive which provides off-road parking for several cars.  Decorative estate style fencing separates the drive from the street. A gravel path alongside the house leads to the main entrance and beyond this to the rear garden.

EV Charging Point Installed By Octopus

The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a patio abutting the house and beech hedging forming the boundaries. It is west facing and receives plenty of afternoon sunshine  At the end of the garden is a greenhouse and water butt. There is an additional water butt at the rear of the house and a handy outside tap. At the end of the garden is further estate style fencing and a gate out to the carport and garage; vehicular access to these is via a driveway next to the adjoining property (No.35), which the neighbours have a right of way over, along with three neighbours from Parcroft Gardens who also have pedestrian access over this driveway from the rear of their gardens.

In addition to the rear garden, there is a private roof terrace, accessible via sliding doors on the second floor of the house.
