Description
6 MANOR CLOSE,
SPARKFORD, YEOVIL, SOMERSET, BA22 7JZ
6 Manor Close is an impressive detached four-bedroom family home, discreetly positioned within a small close and set within beautifully landscaped gardens extending to approximately 0.34 of an acre. The property benefits from a double garage, generous parking and a notably private setting.
The spacious accommodation includes a large reception hall, sitting room, kitchen breakfast room, dining room, utility room, four substantial double bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms.
PRICE GUIDE £800,000 - £825,000.
Accommodation
Built in 1985 of warm reconstituted stone beneath a tiled roof, the house sits comfortably among similar high-quality homes and enjoys a peaceful, tucked-away position. The current owners have maintained the property to a high standard throughout, and the proportions, light and outlook over the gardens set it apart.
A welcoming and particularly spacious entrance hall creates a strong first impression, with an attractive staircase rising to a light-filled galleried landing above. The sense of space continues throughout the ground floor, where all principal rooms enjoy views over the garden.
The sitting room is a generous and well-proportioned space, centred around a natural stone fireplace with Jetmaster open fire and ornate recessed niches either side. French doors open directly into the conservatory. The conservatory is fully heated and is fitted with a ceiling fan, allowing comfortable year-round use and offering a seamless connection to the garden. Further reception space includes a formal dining room with a decorative fireplace and garden views.
The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys a bright dual aspect and has been tastefully modernised, with an extensive range of wall and base units, granite work surfaces, a central island and integrated appliances including Neff double oven and warming drawer, induction hob with extractor, fridge and dishwasher. A separate utility room provides excellent storage, space for white goods, access to the garden and direct internal access to the integral garage, where the water softener is located.
On the first floor, the galleried landing offers a practical work or reading space along with useful storage cupboards. There are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from extensive fitted storage and a contemporary en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. There is a loft hatch with pull-down ladder which accesses an attic which partially boarded.
Outside
To the front, the property is approached via a tarmacadam driveway providing ample parking, with lawned areas softening the frontage. The double garage is fitted with twin electrically operated doors, power, lighting and generous loft storage. The owners have added in sensibly arranged shelving units and storage within the garage while still retaining one of the bays for easily accessible and secure parking.
The rear garden is a particular feature and has clearly been a labour of love. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is surrounded by established and carefully shaped borders, specimen trees — including a striking Tibetan cherry — and offers a high degree of privacy and seclusion. A broad terrace spans the rear of the house, providing an ideal space for entertaining, with a further terrace beside the summerhouse, which is equipped with power and light. There is also a greenhouse, a large shed, raised flower and vegetable beds, and the garden is fully enclosed with a favourable west-facing aspect.
