Hermitage Street, Crewkerne

Offering much more than initially meets the eye, this deceptive and stylish two storey home boasts exceptionally versatile accommodation, a private sunny garden, great parking, carport and useful outbuilding, all conveniently located close to the heart of the pretty town centre.

The Property - Having been the subject of a high-quality conversion and extension by a previous owner, this eye-catching and adaptable home is just perfect if you like something a little different, blending great character with a contemporary spin and the rare benefit of off road parking in the heart of the town centre. Just a short walk from the attractive shops and amenities, including the Waitrose supermarket and Aquacentre Gym and Pool complex, it's a property that's hard to beat if you want a property that offers both style and substance.

Throughout the property there are high quality touches such as oak doors, glass balustrades and porcelain tiles, whilst the current owner has made further improvements creating a "turn key" property that's exceptionally well-presented and ready for a new owner to enjoy. One of the main benefits though is the flexibility of the layout, with a potential four bedrooms including one with en suite facilities, or the choice to use them as extra daytime living spaces. The inverted layout with the living accommodation on the first floor gives you the opportunity to live almost on one level should you need it, if entering from the rear. However, the ground floor entrance at street level gives you a handy shortcut into town when on foot.

Accommodation - On a day-to-day basis you're likely to access the accommodation from the rear, via the driveway, carport and adjoining outbuilding - the landscaped garden creating a pleasant sense of privacy and seclusion. French doors open into the spacious open-plan living area, which enjoys excellent natural light from the full-length windows, French doors and overhead skylights. Wooden flooring provides a practical and attractive finish, while views over the garden and generous proportions allow ample space for relaxing, entertaining and more formal dining. The good size kitchen area is fitted with stylish sage green units and oak worktops, incorporating an integrated slimline dishwasher and fridge.

Beyond the kitchen, you have the option to use the adjoining room as a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, or alternatively as a daytime snug, with adjoining facilities providing convenient access without the need to descend to the ground floor bathroom.

The super-stylish wooden staircase, featuring a glass balustrade and LED feature lighting, leads down to the ground floor, where there are three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and useful utility space. The front bedroom retains its original arched window and is currently arranged as a home office. To the rear, two further rooms benefit from fire escape windows opening onto the garden and are presently arranged as a bedroom and adjoining dressing room, with the contemporary family bathroom conveniently located nearby. The utility room provides a designated space for laundry, including space for your washing machine and a useful extra sink.

The ground floor entrance hall and vestibule provide an impressive welcome from street level, with generous proportions offering practical space for coats, shoes and additional storage. Throughout, the layout is both distinctive and adaptable, allowing the accommodation to be arranged to suit a variety of needs. With gas central heating, uPVC windows and a consistently high standard of finish, this is a characterful and versatile home offering a combination of contemporary style and practical town-centre living.

Outside - The rear garden has been attractively landscaped to create appealing, relatively low-maintenance spaces that take full advantage of its sunny south-westerly aspect. Immediately adjoining the house, a steel balcony with glass balustrade leads to paved pathways and a generous decked area, ideal for outdoor dining, with brick-built raised beds providing definition and seasonal interest. Substantial steps descend to the lower area at the rear of the bedrooms. The lawn extends to a useful outbuilding adjoining the carport, with power and lighting connected, offering a variety of potential uses. Beyond this, there is access to the carport and parking area. The property owns the majority of the gravelled driveway to the rear, although the neighbouring cottage has a vehicular right of way through the electric gates to access its own driveway. Both properties also benefit from a right of way from the West Street car park to their respective driveways.

Situation - Crewkerne is a pretty and friendly market town. Its predominantly neo-Georgian and Victorian town centre streets offer a range of high street stores including a Waitrose supermarket and many independent retailers, a range of local pubs, cafés, large indoor swimming pool and gym complex. The town has several schools covering all age groups. Crewkerne is well served in terms of public services with its own small hospital, GP surgeries and dentists.
