Martock Road, Long Load, Langport, Somerset, TA10

A charming, GII listed early 17th Century home, boasting a large, attractive garden, ample internal accommodation, and the ability to create a superb, self-contained, attached 1-bed annexe.

INSIDE

The property is accessed from the front through a church-style timber door, leading into a central hallway laid with flagstones. To the left is the kitchen, laid out in a cottage/farmhouse style with a small range of timber base units with solid wood worktops and upstands, with ceramic Belfast sink, and space for freestanding dresser units either side of a gas-fired Rayburn.

To the rear, the dining room - which also features flasgstone flooring continued from the hall - overlooks the rear garden with ample space for a family dining table. A small rear porch houses the gas fired boiler and features space/plumbing for a washer/dryer. Adjacent to this is a large storage cupboard, and the family bathroom, fitted with a panel bath with shower over, WC, and hand basin.

The sitting room is an impressive 30' long room with two feature fireplaces, including a large inglenook complete with bread oven at one end, and a woodburning stove with modern surround to the opposite end. The room can be utilised as one large space, or two separate 'zones', offering good flexibility. A further door connects through to the annexe.

An understairs cupboard provides further storage options, whilst the stairs lead up from the hall to the three bedrooms upstairs. All are carpeted doubles, with the master boasting some built-in wardrobe space and an en-suite fitted with WC and hand basin, with plenty of scope to add a shower in too, if required.

ANNEXE

To the rear of the property is a c.440sqft extension which offers the ideal annexe situation. With a connecting door to the principal home and independent, external access, the annexe offers both independence and connectivity. The space currently consists of a good-sized sitting room, double bedroom, bathroom with corner shower, WC, and hand basin, and a further storage area which could easily be fitted with a reasonably sized kitchenette, if required.

Whilst offering an ideal annexe, the space could easily be incorporated into use with the main house, with the rooms ideal as an additional sitting room, craft room, office, games room, etc.

Windows facing south allow plenty of natural light to flood the space, creating a bright and airy feel, suitable for a wide range of suits and needs.

OUTSIDE
