Brettingham Court, Hinton St. George, Somerset

A bright and airy mews-style conversion located in the picturesque Brettingham Court development close to the heart of one of our most sought-after villages, and offered for sale with no onward chain.

The Property - Whether you are seeking a peaceful, long-term home with more manageable maintenance requirements or an ideal lock-up-and-leave, the elegant surroundings of Brettingham Court, in the heart of this picturesque community, are sure to appeal.

Originally forming part of the 18th-century kitchen courtyard of Hinton House, the buildings were remodelled at the turn of the 19th century to create a stable yard. During the 20th century, the quadrangle was thoughtfully converted into a collection of attractive mews-style residences, arranged around a charming central courtyard and approached through an impressive archway that creates a memorable first impression.

Having been much improved in recent times, it offers spacious rooms and exceptionally good ceiling heights, making it perfect for those looking for a sense of grandeur and elegance but on a slightly more manageable scale.

Accommodation - This well-presented home is ready for its next owner to move straight in. Attractive oak internal doors, window and light, airy décor complement the modernised kitchen and bathroom. The generous proportions offer considerable flexibility. On the ground floor, the exceptionally spacious living room could comfortably accommodate both sitting and dining areas, with French doors opening onto the rear courtyard. The westerly orientation allows natural light to fill the room, particularly during the afternoon and evening.

Each home within Brettingham Court though similar in style has its own individual character and layout, and this property benefits from a spacious entrance hall with a more accessible cloakroom than many of its neighbours. The sizeable kitchen offers ample space for a breakfast or dining table and enjoys plenty of natural light through a beautiful arched picture window overlooking the central quadrangle.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to three double bedrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for visiting family and friends, or the flexibility to use the smaller third double bedroom as a substantial home office if required.

The well-proportioned bathroom is fitted with a contemporary white suite comprising a freestanding double-ended bath, separate shower cubicle with dual-head controls, WC and wash hand basin. A cupboard houses the gas boiler for the central heating, which was installed in 2023 and is annually serviced in line with the ongoing warranty which can be passed on to a new owner.

A particularly appealing feature of this home is the sense of light throughout, enhanced by its east/west orientation, large windows and simple shutters.

Outside - The front of the property is approached on foot via the historic quadrangle, with its own area of courtyard by the front door, perfect for container gardening and with room for seating or eating outside. To the rear is a further courtyard style garden, edged with low trellis, providing further space to sit out and enjoying a sunny westerly aspect. A single garage is located in the nearby block to the east of the quadrangle. There is also ample visitor parking.

Situation - The property lies within walking distance of the beautiful village centre. Hinton St George is generally regarded as one of the most sought-after and attractive villages in South Somerset. It consists primarily of period houses and cottages, built using the local stone - renowned for its mellow colour and visual appeal. The village centre is a real gem and much of it is designated a Conservation Area. The village is peaceful and carries no through traffic of any significance.
