Piece Lane, Shepton Beauchamp, Ilminster, Somerset, TA19

THE AGENT SAYS... This super house, situated in a quiet cul-de-sac and overlooking a green, has generously sized rooms and a great layout for family life. The double-aspect kitchen/breakfast room is a particular feature with abundant storage, access front and back, and a much-coveted island breakfast bar. Larger gatherings and more formal meals can be hosted with ease in the adjoining dining room which comfortably seats eight people, with room to squeeze in a few more on occasion. Summer entertaining can spill outside into the large garden, which is laid to lawn and fully enclosed - perfect for children to run off some energy while the grown-ups relax. THE PROPERTY The house has two entrances at the front - one to the entrance hall and the other into the kitchen. The current owners use the latter as their main entrance and this door bears the house number and a letterbox. The formal entrance hall houses the stairs, with a useful cupboard underneath, and doors lead off to the sitting room and dining room. The large sitting room spans the depth of the property on the right-hand side and so enjoys south-facing light from the front. The room is centred around a brick fireplace with a slate hearth and wood-burning stove. There is plenty of space for a large sofa, armchairs, and additional storage furniture. The dining room is a very generous size, comfortably accommodating a table for eight and additional furniture. Its position next to the kitchen is excellent for family life and social gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast room is the standout feature of the property; it is very well presented, offers a wealth of storage and workspace, has an island breakfast bar, and access from/to the front of the house and the rear garden. There is also a handy ground floor WC. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. All of the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes and there is also an airing cupboard in bedroom three. OUTSIDE A small area of open lawn separates the property from the street and concrete pathways lead to both entrances. There is a border filled with lavender plants under the front window and a further border, filled with roses, alongside the path to the kitchen entrance. Outside the kitchen door is a low level timber storage unit. The house overlooks a green and adjoining this is a large parking area with non-allocated spaces that are available on a first come, first served basis. The lawned rear garden is a great size and fully enclosed by a combination of fences, walls, and hedging. At the far end is a beautiful red Camellia, and a pedestrian gate that opens to a track providing rear pedestrian access to the garden. Adjoining the house is a paved outdoor dining area, with a concrete path along the back of the house, and a further small area of lawn. This dining space is separated from the main lawn by a bed containing low level shrubs. SERVICES Mains water, drainage and electricity. Oil-fired central heating.
