Ilminster, TA19

Highcroft is an impressive, spacious four-bedroom detached family home, occupying an elevated position in the highly sought-after Somerset village of Barrington. Offering approximately 1,723 sq ft of accommodation, the property sits within generous wrap-around gardens of approximately 0.23 acres and enjoys far-reaching views across the Somerset Levels on clear days.

The current owners have made several improvements to the property, most notably the installation of a superb new kitchen, along with new flooring, plumbing improvements, replacement contemporary radiators and new guttering. The result is a substantial and comfortable family home combining generous internal accommodation with particularly appealing outside space.

ACCOMMODATION

The property is approached through an entrance porch which opens into the hallway, providing access to the principal ground-floor rooms and stairs rising to the first floor.

A particularly generous reception room provides an excellent space for everyday family living and features a multi-fuel stove, creating an attractive focal point to the room.

This could be comfortably used as the main lounge, with additional options of use such as creating separate sitting, dining, snug or home-working areas depending upon individual requirements.

A conservatory provides a further reception space overlooking and opening towards the gardens.

One of the standout features of Highcroft is the impressive kitchen/dining room, measuring approximately 16'10" x 18'6". Recently fitted with a contemporary range of units and extensive work surfaces, the room provides ample space for a substantial dining table and is complemented by attractive herringbone-style flooring. It creates a sociable everyday living and entertaining space at the heart of the home.

A useful separate pantry provides additional storage, while a ground-floor cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.

FIRST FLOOR

Upstairs, the landing provides access to four bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Bedroom One is a particularly generous double room measuring approximately 17'11" x 10'4".

There are three further bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for a growing family, guests or those requiring space to work from home. Bedroom Two also benefits from its own en-suite.

The spacious family bathroom is conveniently positioned adjacent to Bedroom One and is fitted with a white suite comprising a bath, large separate shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC.

OUTSIDE

Highcroft occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.23 acres, with established gardens extending around the property and making the most of its elevated position. On clear days there are far-reaching views across the Somerset Levels and surrounding countryside.

The property is approached from Main Street via a private driveway which rises through the front garden towards the house. Beyond the initial incline, the grounds provide a variety of more level lawned, planted and seating areas around the property.

To the rear, considerable work has been undertaken to make attractive use of the garden's natural contours. Stone walling and terracing create a series of established planted areas, with paths leading through the garden to a productive vegetable-growing area at the upper level.

There are also paved seating areas adjoining the house, areas of lawn, mature planting and useful garden storage, providing plenty of opportunity to enjoy different parts of the garden throughout the day.

A substantial two-car carport provides covered parking, with additional driveway parking available.

FURTHER INFORMATION

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, with the boiler positioned externally. The heating system has benefited from plumbing improvements and replacement radiators, including contemporary vertical radiators.

Highcroft represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home in one of Somerset's most attractive and sought-after villages, combining approximately 1,723 sq ft of accommodation with generous gardens, extensive parking and an elevated outlook.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, setting and gardens this individual village home has to offer.
