Ham Hill, Stoke-sub-hamdon, Somerset, TA14

THE AGENT SAYS... 3 Ham Hill is a beautifully presented cottage with well proportioned living accommodation and a lovely garden. The property is mostly decorated in a neutral style - including the kitchen and bathroom making it easy to imagine as your new home and easy to move into without any need for immediate work. The lawned garden is established and easy to maintain but offers lots of potential for those who enjoy gardening. THE PROPERTY The front door opens into a small entrance hall that protects the sitting room from the elements and provides space for coats and shoes. The delightful sitting room is beautifully lit by the large south-west facing window at the front and is centred around an attractive hamstone fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The current owners have painted the room in a soft neutral tone and added colour and personality with accessories, creating a cosy ambience while retaining the sense of light and space. The understairs cupboard opens to the sitting room and provides useful storage for cleaning supplies or similar. The sitting room leads through to an open plan kitchen/dining/living space. The dining room has been tastefully decorated in a dark tone giving it a lovely warm feel and works well as a family room, currently accommodating a dining table, sofa and storage furniture. The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditional style wall and base units and a wooden worktop. There is an integrated dishwasher. freestanding oven, space/plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a fridge-freezer. A stable door leads out to the garden. Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor with access to a boarded loft space with ladder and light, the loft would be large enough to accommodate a room if someone wished to convert (subject to necessary consents). There are two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal room is a generous size and has two windows on the front elevation that allow light to stream in. The chimney breast and hamstone surround are a lovely feature and the room has plenty of space for furniture/ storage (including a built-in cupboard). The second bedroom is a small double - perfect for guests - or a generous single room. The bathroom is fully tiled and has a white suite that comprises a shower bath, pedestal sink and WC. Outside the bathroom there are two built-in storage cupboards; if desired one or both of these cupboards (and the landing space between them) could be incorporated into the bathroom to increase the footprint of the room/change the layout. OUTSIDE The rear garden is a nice size and offers the new owner lots of potential. Immediately outside the back door is an area of hardstanding with a handy tap on the kitchen wall. There are pedestrian gates either side of this area as there is a ROW for this property and the neighbour (number 5) to the end of terrace. Steps lead up from the house to a paved terrace, which is a lovely spot to enjoy the morning sun. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn and slopes up gently away from the house. A concrete path leads up the length of the garden (with a washing line alongside) to a raised sun deck at the far end. A large timber shed provides useful garden storage. SERVICES Mains water, drainage and electricity. Gas-fired central heating. LOCAL AUTHORITY Somerset Council - Band B ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE Current Rating - C
