Station Road, Ashcott, TA7

A substantial five bed detached cottage, set in a secluded plot of just under half an acre, on the edge of this popular Polden Hills village. Enjoying countryside views, no onward chain and fabulous opportunity to improve and adapt the flexible accommodation to suit your needs, including annexe potential.

ACCOMMODATION:
The property is entered principally via the main front entrance, which is sheltered by a storm porch and opens into a large reception room at the heart of the property. This is one of three receptions on the ground floor, providing a great degree of versatility in potential use. From here, the primary staircase (one of two) rises to the first floor, and doors lead off in three directions to the other living spaces. These comprise: a particularly spacious sitting room flooded with natural light from its triple aspect windows and double doors; a cosy snug/family room with a fabulous inglenook style fireplace; adjoining utility/boot room and separate WC and a kitchen (now requiring refurbishment). A second staircase leads up from the snug to two of the bedrooms, providing obvious potential to create a self-contained annexe from this side of the property. The main staircase leads to a landing with two useful fitted storage cupboards, as well as direct access to four of the bedrooms and the family bathroom. All four rooms can accommodate double beds with accompanying furniture and the particularly spacious master enjoys dual aspect windows offering far reaching countryside views, as well as an ensuite bathroom with full three piece suite.

OUTSIDE:
A generously proportioned home such as this, craves an equally substantial garden to match. This c0.46 acre plot certainly does not disappoint in that regard, and offers fabulous privacy on the very edge of the village, as well as wonderful aspects over the surrounding countryside. Formed predominantly from an orchard containing a variety of fruit trees, the opportunities to landscape to your requirements, are almost endless. Families and keen gardeners alike can enjoy the haven for wildlife or potential offered by this peaceful slice of Somerset countryside. A gated driveway at the side of the property, currently offers parking for three to four cars, but with plenty of space to extend this as required, and the pre-fab detached garage offers useful storage space, again with ample potential for further outbuildings (subject to relevant permissions). A sheltered courtyard at the rear of the property, could also be transformed into an intimate alfresco dining area, or offer space to extend the accommodation further (s.t.p.p).

SERVICES:
Mains electric and water are connected, private drainage is in place and oil-fired heating is installed. The property is currently banded F for council tax within Somerset Council. Ofcom's service checker states that external mobile coverage is likely with four major providers, and that Standard broadband is available in the area.
