South Street, Hinton St. George, Somerset, TA17

THE AGENT SAYS... Delightfully cosy Lavender Cottage is a most attractive, doublefronted mid terrace built of golden hamstone. The property benefits from a utility room extension which has created space for a dine-in kitchen. The bathroom has been recently refurbished and reconfigured to make the best of the space and upstairs a former cupboard has become an ensuite WC to the main bedroom. Both roofs have been relined and the loft newly insulated. Outside there is a sunny and attractive courtyard to enjoy, with space to store logs for the fire and line-dry washing. THE PROPERTY The front door opens into the charming sitting room from where a spindle staircase rises to the first floor. A pretty brick fireplace with wooden beam and stone hearth, currently housing an electric fire but potential for a wood burning stove or gas fire, provides an attractive focal point and the alcoves either side provide useful storage and room for additional seating. A window seat offers a spot to watch the world go by on the street outside. The country style galley kitchen has been cleverly laid out to provide a good-size working area, plenty of storage and room for a small dining table. At the rear is a useful utility room and the recently refitted bathroom. The utility opens out to the courtyard garden. Upstairs there are two good size bedrooms which are both double aspect, with views front and rear. Bedroom two has a built-in wardrobe and in the principal bedroom the current owners have cleverly converted the wardrobe into an ensuite WC with integral wash hand basin. OUTSIDE At the rear of the property is a private, sunny courtyard perfect for drinks and a barbecue. The courtyard wraps around the side of the utility room (so you can enjoy the outside without having to look at the bins) and the kitchen window makes a handy serving hatch. The space is also useful for line-drying washing and has room for a shed/log store. The current owners have turned the courtyard into a lovely space by adding decorative panels onto the back wall; planters filled with climbers and flowers; and a metal staircase up to the higher level, where there is a planted raised bed with an inset bench to catch the morning sun. SERVICES Mains water, drainage and electricity. Gas-fired central heating. LOCAL AUTHORITY Somerset Council - Band C ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE Current Rating - D
