Chapel Hill, Ashcott, TA7

Appearances can be deceiving, especially with this initially understated Somerset Farmhouse, that hides a striking interior which has been thoughtfully extended and comprehensively modernised to create a beautifully presented contemporary residence, at the heart of the village. Meticulous attention has been given to both design and finish, with high-quality materials used throughout. Triple-glazed Austrian composite tilt-and-turn windows feature across the home, complemented by maple window sills and bespoke window seats. Engineered oak flooring, oak staircases, and sleek column radiators combine with clean architectural lines to produce a bright, harmonious living environment. A consistent design theme runs throughout, with coordinated doors, fittings, flooring, and sanitary ware enhancing the home’s cohesive and refined aesthetic. From various vantage points, the property also enjoys attractive views across rooftops towards the surrounding countryside, as well as a deceptively generous landscaped garden that'll please buyers seeking an enviable entertaining space, and any keen gardeners, in equal measure.

ACCOMMODATION:

The main entrance, which is sheltered by an attractive open fronted storm porch, leads into a welcoming and light-filled central hallway, from which the main living spaces unfold. The exceptional presentation and attention to detail found here, continues throughout the property, including the impressive Austrian sourced triple glazed and wood composite tilt and turn windows.

Firstly, the generous dual-aspect kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of wall and base level units and featuring a gas range cooker with six-burner hob and extractor. There is ample room for the usual appliances, as well as generous space for dining and relaxed seating - perfect for everyday family life and entertaining.

The separate utility room offers additional storage and practical workspace, with provision for laundry appliances. Adjacent is a stylish cloakroom serving the ground floor with WC facilities, beyond which is a highly adaptable workshop, converted from the former integral garage. This space could also be ideal for hobbies, a gym or home working, with double tilt-and-turn French doors opening to the driveway and incorporating integrated electric Venetian blinds. On the western side of the house is the elegant sitting room, centred around a charming restored inglenook fireplace with flagstone hearth and an impressive contemporary wood-burning stove. This space flows seamlessly into a secondary seating area, where large French style doors open directly onto the rear garden and a more relaxed lounge vibe make this the perfect spot for an evening in front of the TV, or to watch the sun go down.

An oak staircase rises to a bright landing, giving access to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom. The impressive principal bedroom is complemented by a dressing room fitted with a wide array of wardrobes and storage, leading through to a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room, finished with striking design details and quality vanity units. All of the bedrooms enjoy pleasant outlooks across the village and surrounding countryside, in various directions. The stunning primary bathroom also boasts beautiful design, tasteful modern fixtures and quality sanitary ware.

The secluded south-facing terrace offers a sheltered spot for outdoor seating, bordered by raised beds planted with herbs and strawberries. This leads around to the main gardens on west side of the house. These are deceptively generous and thoughtfully arranged, featuring well maintained lawns over two levels, including a series of striking paved steps leading up to an elevated area with raised beds and a productive kitchen garden.
