East Street, Drayton, Langport, Somerset, TA10

A smartly presented, extended 3/4 bed family home boasting a wealth of flexible accommodation, garage with off-road parking, substantial home office, and south-facing, rural views.

5 East Street occupies a favourable position in the highly sought-after village of Drayton. The property offers a huge amount of flexibility as either a 3-bed family home with three reception rooms, or even utilising one room as a downstairs bedroom with bathroom conversion potential.

The property is accessed from the front through a small but handy porch, leading into the entrance hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor. A large room off the hallway offers an ideal tertiary reception space, or as a double bedroom. The adjacent study offers the ideal conversion into a downstairs bathroom in conjunction with the bedroom, but equally offers an ideal study/craft space. Beyond the hall, in the centre of the house, is the sitting room; carpeted and featuring a fireplace with oak mantle and woodburning stove inset, with shelving to one side. To the rear of the property is the impressive family/garden/dining room extension, laid with engineered oak flooring and with two sets of patio doors and a pair of skylights creating a fantastically bright and airy room. This links the sitting room to the kitchen, creating a semi open-plan layout for the main reception spaces.

The kitchen itself enjoys underfloor heating and is fitted with a smart range of wall and base units with solid wood worktops and upstands over, large electric range with 5-ring hob, space for a dishwasher, and a one-and-a-half sink with drainer. The kitchen leads out to the utility room, fitted with matching units, with space for a washing machine, tumble-drier, and fridge/freezer, in addition to side access offering an alternate route into the property from the front. Completing the downstairs accommodation off the utility is a handy cloakroom with WC and hand basin.

Upstairs are three bedrooms; two doubles and a large single. All three bedrooms are carpeted and feature some built-in storage, with bedroom one boasting two cupboards and, along with bedroom two, enjoy far reaching vies over the countryside to the south. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, WC and hand basin within vanity unit.

OUTSIDE

The property boasts a good sized plot with an attractive, south-facing garden which overlooks neighbouring fields. The majority of the fully enclosed rear garden is laid to lawn to the left hand side, with some established planting and small trees. A path runs through the middle of the garden which leads out to a parking area at the rear of the property. To the right hand side of the path is a gardeners area with a few small raised beds and a greenhouse, whilst in front of that is a patio ideal for al-fresco dining with views over the countryside.

Adjacent to the house is a superb timber clad outbuilding which consists of a garage with power, lighting, and an up-and-over door, a cosy craft room, and a sizeable home office. Fully insulated and with glazed patio doors leading out to the garden, the office is a fantastic addition to the property, again offering flexible use. To the front of the property is an area of lawn with some established planting, in addition to a drive sufficient for at least three vehicles.
