Property description

This is an exciting opportunity to own a Victorian gentleman's house in a highly sought after village that has not been on the market for 44 years.

This is a highly desirable character property built from local stone that requires modernisation. It stands in grounds approaching a quarter of an acre with a garage and private parking for a number of vehicles.

South Petherton is a small residential country town with a village atmosphere set in attractive surrounding countryside one mile from the A303 roadway and offers a wide range of shopping facilities, two schools, library, inn, post office, churches, doctor & veterinary surgeries, chemist, tennis and bowling clubs and 'bus services to neighbouring towns and villages. Yeovil is ten miles, Crewkerne (Mainline Station to Waterloo) six miles, Ilminster six, the county town of Taunton (M5 Motorway & Mainline Station to Paddington) eighteen and the South coast at Lyme Regis twenty two miles.

This particularly spacious detached residence of character is built of stone under a slate roof and occupies a fine setting in this sought after part of the village within reach of the wide range of local amenities and open countryside is nearby. The property requires general improvement and modernisation. The roof was stripped, felted, reslated and insulated in recent years, a new boiler has been installed within the last six years.

The house retains many original features including architraves, skirting boards, shutters, period fireplaces and French doors. More modern features include a gas fired central heating system and part double glazing. The accommodation provides flexible living and as well as being an excellent family home could accommodate extended family in e.g. Granny annex or separate living areas for older children. The rear wing could provide separate accommodation potentially attracting a separate income through holiday lets or bed and breakfast subject to the necessary permissions being obtained.

Currently the accommodation includes five bedrooms, en suite bathroom/wc, second potential en suite bathroom, family bathroom, potential bathroom four, study/landing area, entrance hall, cloakroom/wc, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, butlers pantry, 22' drawing room, kitchen, breakfast room, utility, playroom.

At one time the property had a retail license and ran an antique shop from the premises. There may be opportunity to run a small business from the property subject to the necessary permissions being obtained.

Outside there is a double entrance driveway with ample parking leading to the garage/workshop, store. There is a generous sized rear garden including a courtyard area split level lawns, original stone steps, specimen trees and a large terrace. The total area is approaching a quarter of an acre. Applicants are recommended to view the interesting interior.
