Lambrook Road, Shepton Beauchamp, Ilminster

Featuring generously proportioned, light-filled rooms characteristic of its era, this impressive detached home sits on a substantial plot in a sought-after village, enjoying stunning south-facing views to the rear. An ideal "forever" home with plenty of scope to make it your own.

The Property - Having been a much loved home by the same family for many years, it's now time to hand over the baton to a new family to make this home their own. Set in a great spot with excellent driveway frontage and a good size rear garden, there's lots of scope for further extension or reconfiguration to make the most of the stunning views over fields and open countryside at the rear. Set in one of our most popular villages with a lovely primary school and a good range of local things going on, we feel that it's a home to grow with your family and put your own stamp on it over time.

Accommodation - A sizeable porch with sliding double glazed doors is a welcoming and useful undercover space with plenty of room for coats, shoes, pushchairs and the like. The traditional entrance hall includes original parquet flooring and an open tread staircase typical of the era adds to the feeling of space. A built-in double cupboard provides plenty of storage space. The layout was clearly designed to make the most of the views, sunlight and position, with all principal rooms enjoying a rear aspect. The kitchen includes stone effect tiled flooring, limewash style fitted cupboards and integrated electric hob, and double electric oven. Conveniently there are spaces for dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. A door opens into a rear lobby, housing the oil fired boiler and providing quick and easy rear access to the garden and garage and there's also a useful downstairs WC to one side.

Off the hall is a formal dining room, currently separated from the living room by a partition, and there's a multitude of options for reconfiguration, be that knocking through to the kitchen or incorporating a more open-plan L-shaped living / family room. Combine this with a rear extension and you could completely transform the living space, subject to the necessary consents. The light and spacious living room includes a fireplace with woodburning stove and patio doors opening into a substantial triple aspect double glazed conservatory.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and an attractively modernised shower room with contemporary suite including large double shower enclosure with mains shower, vanity wash hand basin and WC, all beautifully finished with sleek grey gloss tiling.

Outside - The generous frontage provides plenty of parking and turning space, along with access to the adjoining single garage. At the rear, the good size garden is currently laid to a selection of patio areas, gravel and chippings for ease of maintenance but could be reinstated to a more traditional lawned garden. The southerly facing aspect means it enjoys sunshine for most of the day and has far reaching views across the neighbouring paddocks and south somerset countryside. There are good size access paths to each side, along with an outside tap and oil tank.
