Henstridge, Templecombe, Somerset, BA8

An individually designed substantial four bedroom family home set within idyllic walled gardens of 1/3 of an acre, situated in the heart of the village, garage, large workshop, generous parking. No Onward Chain.

Mill House was designed and built to exacting standards by a family that have occupied the property since it was built in 1981. This much loved family home presents a unique opportunity to purchase a modern property with 21st century conveniences set within glorious mature and established walled gardens amounting to 1/3 of an acre, having been built in the grounds of the neighbouring property Henstridge House.
The property offers a considerable amount of accommodation with particularly generous rooms throughout and would especially suit a growing family seeking a home they could develop and modernise or equally buyers who will appreciate the exceptional gardens and potential this village house presents.
A practical vestibule opens through to the entrance hall which leads to the generous ground floor living accommodation. The sitting room has a coal effect gas fire to its centre and connects into a conservatory which can be utilised throughout the year and enjoys a triple aspect across the wonderful gardens. The kitchen is an impressive space and has a bright dual aspect and can comfortably accommodate a breakfast table. There are a number of wall and floor cupboards, a pantry, a gas cooker and space for white goods. A separate utility room across the hall provides further cupboard space and worktops and has plumbing and space for additional whitegoods and access to the side of the property. Adjacent to this there is a shower room and separate cloakroom. The dining room is currently traditionally used, but would also make another great reception room, study or playroom.
Upstairs the bedrooms are arranged from a spacious split landing with two bedrooms at the front and two bedrooms at the rear. The bedrooms are a really impressive size with extensive storage options and lovely outlooks from all four across the garden and local countryside in the distance. There is a family bathroom which has the convenience of both a separate shower and a bath and besides the bathroom there is a separate wc.

The character walls which surround the garden are a striking feature of the plot and add a real depth and sense of history to the surroundings. Over the years the garden has been thoughtfully and lovingly tended to and has a variety of established planted borders some of which include fragrant and colourful rose beds and spring beds brimming with hellebores, daffodils and crocuses. The garden walls come to life with vibrant rambling roses and climbers and there are an array of specimen trees which add shape and form.
