Hemington, Radstock, BA3

DESCRIPTION

Healey House is a most attractive period home, beautifully set back from the lane on an elevated plot of approximately 0.25 of an acre. The property enjoys commanding views over the surrounding countryside, with a well-proportioned garden, driveway parking for multiple vehicles, and a detached garage with adjoining workshop and covered open store.

Constructed in natural stone beneath a red terracotta tiled roof, Healey House boasts an elegant façade with stone window surrounds and traditional sash windows.

A lawned garden with a well-stocked and established planted border frames the approach to the house, offering instant kerb appeal. Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed into the dining hall, a generous and versatile space featuring the main staircase, understairs storage, and access to both the kitchen and the sitting room.

The sitting room enjoys a lovely dual aspect, including two large southeast-facing sash windows that flood the room with morning light. A Bath stone fireplace with wood-burning stove forms a charming focal point, complemented by bespoke built-in cabinetry. This leads seamlessly into the family room, a more contemporary space with exposed stonework and ceiling beams, creating a superb flow for entertaining. From here, doors open into the conservatory, which enjoys uninterrupted views across the garden and out to open fields beyond.

The kitchen is arranged in a traditional galley style, with scope for improvement, and leads to a notably large utility room with ample space for a breakfast table. Adjoining the utility is a walk-in pantry, a useful storeroom, and a cloakroom/WC competes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, all with attractive rural aspects and elegant proportions. The master bedroom benefits from an elevated elevated outlook enjoyed from the rear rooms below. The family bathroom features a corner bath, and there is a walk-through study and airing cupboard. This versatile space could readily serve as a dressing room, auxiliary nursery, playroom or, subject to the necessary consents, could be converted into an additional bathroom.
