Description
Property Description: Guide Price £425,000 - £475,000. Set back from the road behind an attractive stone wall this three bed semi-detached house has a wonderful sense of privacy. It has well balanced accommodation, generous gardens and delightful countryside views.
Built in the 1980s, the house has a warm and welcoming feel with well proportioned rooms, high ceilings and a traditional layout centred around a generous entrance hall and landing.
The sitting room is to the front of the house which has a double aspect and an open fireplace, creating a cosy focal point for the colder months. To the rear, the south facing kitchen/dining room enjoys an abundance of natural light and opens directly onto the garden via a glazed door with far reaching views across the fields beyond. Off the spacious hallway is a downstairs WC with plumbing for a washing machine, a storage cupboard and there is also under-stairs storage.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two of which are comfortable doubles. The principal bedroom enjoys a southerly aspect with truly fabulous views across the garden towards Paradise Hill, while the remaining bedrooms overlook the front. A family bathroom serves all the bedrooms and is fitted with a bath and overhead shower. The landing is large enough to accommodate a desk and there is a storage cupboard/airing cupboard.
Outside: Outside, the property really comes into its own. The large south and west facing garden backs onto a stream with open fields beyond. It is a peaceful and idyllic setting. While currently a little overgrown, the garden offers enormous potential to create a superb outdoor space. To the front, the driveway provides parking and offers scope to add a garage or carport, subject to the necessary consents.
Mill Mead is a comfortable and inviting home throughout the seasons, light filled and airy in summer, yet warm and cosy in winter thanks to double glazing and insulation. There is also exciting potential to extend to the east, creating a porch, additional bathroom and an enlarged kitchen/dining space, subject to the usual permissions.
Situated in a sought after village with a strong sense of community, the property is ideally placed for beautiful countryside walks directly from the doorstep and is within easy reach of a well regarded village pub and primary school.
Location: Located in the beautiful valley of the River Sheppey, Croscombe lies on the A371 to the east of Wells and the west of Shepton Mallet. Despite mentions in the Domesday Book, Croscombe first emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries with a boom in the wool trade. It is home to a beautiful medieval church and an award-winning pub, The George, which doubles up as the local shop. Croscombe has an active community and much to offer with classes from amateur dramatics to Tai Chi held in the village hall, as well as the Charter Market where villagers sell their local produce, a village orchestra, a village school, a playground and a sports field.
Just up the hill, the Rocky Mountain Nursery has an amazing fruit and vegetable stall every Thursday and Saturday and there are ample countryside walks to enjoy in the area thanks to the village's many beautiful footpaths across the valley.
