Tolland, Lydeard St. Lawrence, TA4

Parks is a rare find! Located in rural Somerset on the stunning southern slopes of The Brendon Hills, this three bedroomed detached house has so much to offer. There are three reception rooms, including a fantastic kitchen / breakfast room and separate sitting and dining rooms, three bedrooms, master en-suite and family bathroom. There are also numerous 'ancillary' spaces internally, such as a boot room, utility room, cloak room and two store sheds. The master bedroom is greatly enhanced by a large balcony which overlooks the garden and has gloriously uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside as far as The Blackdown Hills and Wellington Monument to the south. The exterior of the house also offers a great deal - a double garage and

two attached office rooms create an ideal work-from-home space and/or workshop arrangement, and the driveway provides ample off road parking with spaces for up to 5 or 6 cars. To the front of the house are large south-facing gardens, which round the property off perfectly. With patio, lawn, chicken runs and fruit and veg beds, the garden enjoys some amazing direct sunshine for most of the day and has an array of possibilities. With uninterrupted rural views to all four sides, Parks is a rural gem that must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Energy rating: E-45

The house is generally accessed from the rear parking area, but the formal entrance hall is from the front garden. This has doors to all three main ground floor rooms, as well as the WC and lobby and stairs to the first floor. The parque flooring has been retained and well-looked after. The two main reception rooms each have open fires with stoves, and patio doors to the front garden. The kitchen has access to a utility room or pantry and a separate boot room, which is currently used as a main entrance from the rear parking area. The kitchen is beautifully fitted and has space for a good sized dining table to one end. On the first floor are three double bedrooms, with master en-suite and a family bathroom. Externally there are two small storesheds within the main house, and a double garage with two attached office rooms. These two office rooms, whilst in need of a little refresh, have great flexibility to work from home, run a small business, have studio space or simple storage. The gardens are mainly to the front of the house and have huge scope for all kinds of use, being of good size and shape and making the entire plot of over half an acre. Parks has oil-fired central heating, private drainage and mains water.
