The property is entered via a glazed porch, providing space for shoes and boots. A newly fitted composite door then leads through to the hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first floor accommodation and a tiled floor. To the left of the hall is the kitchen/breakfast room; a spacious, triple-aspect room offering a range of fitted floor and wall units and attractive Corian work surfaces. Within the kitchen there is an integrated Bosch dishwasher and under-counter fridge, a wine cooler and an AEG under-counter freezer. In addition, there is space for a table and chairs, as well as for a freestanding range cooker (the existing is available by separate negotiation). Adjoining the kitchen is a home office, ideal for those who need space to work from home or study.

Offering versatility, the home office is large enough to also be utilised as a further reception room or playroom. Across the hall, the main sitting room is finely-proportioned, with two south-facing double glazed windows with window seats overlooking the gardens. An impressive Blue Lias inglenook fireplace with an inset wood burning stove provides a superb focal point at one end of the room. An inner door from the sitting room then opens to a small series of steps, which give access to a particularly useful dual-aspect studio. Currently used as a workshop, this would be the perfect hobby space and includes a set of external patio doors. The sitting room continues through to a fully glazed oak sun room, with double doors opening to the garden, and also through to a separate dining room. Accessed off the dining room is a utility room, offering a further sink and plumbing/space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. There is also a ground floor shower room with a WC and a wash hand basin.

On the first floor, a roomy landing includes a skylight window, a built-in storage cupboard and an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. There are four bedrooms upstairs, all of which benefit from a wonderful rural outlook. One of the double bedrooms is fitted with a modern en-suite shower room. Completing the accommodation is a well-appointed family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
Set within a generous plot measuring approx. 0.64 acre, Middle Green offers excellent outside space, ideal for families and green-fingered purchasers. A stone chipped driveway, which is edged with railway sleepers, leads down to a designated parking area, providing off-road parking for several vehicles, as well as offering plenty of room to turn. Within the parking area is a timber garage, which has power and an adjoining store to the rear.

At the front of the plot is an area of orchard with a variety of established fruit trees. The gardens are undoubtedly one of the main selling points of the property, with the main lawn on the opposite side of the house. Enclosed by fencing, hedging and incorporating a selection of mature trees, this principal area of garden enjoys a remarkable outlook taking in Glastonbury Tor in the distance. In addition, this part of the property includes a detached red brick outbuilding, a greenhouse and a vegetable plot.

On the south side of the house, a further section of garden, also laid to lawn, provides a sunny and private place for outdoor seating – ideal for entertaining, with direct access from the sun room.
