Station Road, Ashcott, TA7

A beautifully presented and deceptively spacious character home, situated in a fabulous semi-rural setting on the outskirts of the village, and within only a mile of a nature reserve yet just 20 mins from M5 J23. The property offers versatile accommodation, a generous yet relatively easy to maintain plot, fabulous countryside views and great parking provisions including a garage.

ACCOMMODATION:
The property is accessed from the rear elevation, where you'll find the main entrance sheltered by a storm porch and opening into a truly impressive reception hall. Immediately the oak flooring, bannisters and doors, combined with tasteful modern yet neutral decor, offers a glimpse of the quality and attention to detail seen throughout this home. A large walk-in pantry/store room and separate under stairs cupboard provide excellent storage provisions, before the hallway leads toward the ground floor living spaces. These comprise a flexible arrangement of two large rooms that can easily be arranged as three separate reception spaces such as a dining room, snug and formal sitting room, or as a large open plan space as required. Exposed stone walls, wooden beams and a traditional fireplace with stove, retain the cosiness and character of this space, yet the triple aspect windows and doors allow natural light to flood the rooms. The separate kitchen is beautifully appointed and well-proportioned to allow space for informal dining, featuring a comprehensive range of fitted base level cabinetry with granite worktops and undermounted sinks. Integral appliances include an electric oven and oil fired Aga, whilst there are additional spaces for undercounter appliances. Completing the ground floor is a utility room with worksurface and drainer sink, and which provides a separate space for laundry appliances. Here you'll also find access to an enclosed cloakroom/WC.

On the first floor, a large walk-in store room could provide a multitude of uses including a library, small office, or simply useful additional storage, whilst there are four excellent size double bedrooms and a particularly spacious family bathroom on this level. Several of the rooms enjoy far reaching countryside views, and the principal suite includes its own superbly appointed en-suite bathroom with full four-piece suite. The family bathroom also includes a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash basin over vanity. Stairs rise from the first floor, to a loft room currently used as an office, but which could potentially provide a fifth bedroom if required.

OUTSIDE:
Set within a plot of c.0.2 acre, adjacent to open fields, this fabulous rural setting offers a feeling of privacy whilst enjoying a wonderful open aspect. A gated driveway enters the front of the grounds, with turning/parking space in the front right hand corner. The drive sweeps around the side and rear of the property, towards the outbuilding in the far left hand corner of the plot. Here there is a generous size garage and useful attached garden store. Attractive landscaped gardens frame the driveway and run the entire side and rear boundary, offering areas of well maintained lawn and established flower/shrub borders. These superbly tended gardens offer plenty of space to keep green-fingered buyers occupied, however would also suit those seeking a less intensive outdoor maintenance requirement. Nature lovers are sure to be spoilt, with RSPB Ham Wall situated less than a mile away.

SERVICES:
