A most appealing Hamstone, Victorian House benefitting from a large rear garden with superb views and an attached small garage/workshop.


White House is believed to date back to the mid-Victorian era, comprising a most attractive and double fronted property which has been extended over the years and fully double glazed, providing an excellent level of accommodation, much of which enjoys the superb views to the rear.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a large main reception room that features a stone fireplace and chimney breast containing a wood burner. Adjacent to this lovely room is another reception space featuring a polished parquet wooden floor with the room currently used as a music room, although could be used for a variety of purposes. To the rear is a light and airy kitchen/breakfast room that enjoys superb views over the garden and fields beyond. The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wall and floor cupboards together with a fitted breakfast bar/table. The kitchen contains an electric two oven AGA, which adds to the overall appeal. The kitchen leads into the side conservatory that features a tiled floor and a stable door opening to the rear garden. Also accessed directly from the kitchen is a most useful boot room/store, providing excellent storage and in turn opening to the utility/shower room. This highly practical room has space for the normal white goods as well as a secondary sink, a shower enclosure and w.c., together with further wall storage.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, with the largest having a good range of built in wardrobes and, tucked away in one corner, a shower enclosure. In addition to these bedrooms is a large bathroom with bath, vanity unit and a w.c. The window is clear glass, taking full advantage of the beautiful rural views.

From the landing a door opens to a concealed staircase rising to the converted attic (converted to building regulations standards). This appealing room, which has triple Velux skylights with delightful views and eaves storage, is considered suitable for a multitude of uses.

This highly sought after village boasts a community owned shop/post office, a popular public house, village hall, church and primary school. The village is also close to Ham Hill Country Park where fine views and country walks can be enjoyed.

The centre of Norton is well known for its architectural appeal with many period homes built of local mellow Hamstone.

Of further appeal is the village’s proximity to the A303, for quick access east and west, whilst the former market towns of Yeovil and Crewkerne both enjoy mainline railway stations. Crewkerne also benefits from a Waitrose supermarket.

In addition to the local primary school there is state secondary schooling at both East Stoke and Crewkerne, whilst the area also boasts an enviable range of private schools, namely Perrott Hill, Hazlegrove, Sherborne and Leweston.

There is unrestricted parking directly outside the property, whilst attached is a small garage/workshop that has an up and over door, light, power and rear door into the garden.

The rear garden is a true delight and of an excellent size, mainly laid lawned and featuring a variety of vegetable beds, mature shrubbery, etc. Directly behind the house is a large concrete patio, perfect for outside dining, garden furniture, etc. Also adjacent to the house is a large, timber, storage/work shed with mains electricity supply.

The garden enjoys fine views and is enclosed within mature hedging and fencing.
