Higher Brooks, Street, BA16

A beautiful two/three bedroom, two reception, Victorian era cottage situated on a particularly generous plot in a hugely sought after semi-rural position on the fringes of Street. The property is offered with no onward chain and offers fabulous potential to modernise, adapt and extend to suit.

ACCOMMODATION:
Entered principally through the front entrance, which is sheltered by a storm porch, leading to a reception hall with stairs to the first floor and doors opening to ground floor living spaces. The spacious living room sits at the front of the property and enjoys plenty of natural light through the large front facing bay, including sash windows. The attractive period fireplace is also eagerly awaiting it's new owner to uncover and restore to its former glory. A generously proportioned separate dining room, which adjoins the kitchen, provides a great space for formal or family meals. Dual aspect corner windows provide countryside views from here. The kitchen currently provides a basic range of fitted wall and base units, work surfaces, space for freestanding appliances and a drainer sink unit. An oil fired Aga provides additional heating and cooking options, in addition to economy storage heaters found at various points throughout the property. Further fitted storage is provided by the under stairs larder. Completing the ground floor, found at the very rear is a lean to offering a potential boot room/utility, with access to the garden and the family bathroom.



The sizable landing area offers obvious potential to adapt and extend permanently into the loft space (subject to any necessary regs. and consent. A fitted access ladder drops down to provide entry into the boarded loft space currently, and skylight windows provide plenty of natural light to this area. Doors open from the landing to two large double bedrooms, the principal at the front being particularly impressive in proportions. The third room on this level was always used as a bedroom until recent years when the owner required first floor WC and wash basin facilities. As such this provides scope to create a fully fitted family bathroom, or revert back to a bedroom as required. All rooms on this floor enjoy fabulous far reaching countryside views both to the front and back, with Glastonbury Tor sitting proudly on the horizon at the rear.

OUTSIDE:
Sitting within a substantial plot enjoying open countryside on two sides, this fabulous property offers as much scope outside as it does in. Nature lovers or keen gardeners won't fail to find space and diversity of wildlife favourable for either, whilst families with children/pets have ample space to burn off some steam on the large lawn. Those looking to extend/adapt the accommodation will find a multitude of options that will still leave a substantial outdoor space to be enjoyed in which ever way the incoming buyer wishes. A driveway at the front elevation provides off road parking, as well as access to the good sized single garage.

SERVICES:
Mains electric and water are connected and private drainage is by treatment plant. The property is currently banded C for council tax within Somerset Council. Photovoltaic solar panels have been installed (purchased) and will provide an income for the remaining term of the feed in tariff.
