About the Property:
Nestled within a picturesque village near Somerton and Langport, Charnwood is a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached property set in 0.5 acres of landscaped gardens.
Recently refurbished and offering scope for a generous principal suite or annexe, this charming home provides light-filled living spaces with contemporary finishes and delightful rural views.
About the Inside:
The welcoming entrance hall leads to a stylishly updated kitchen/breakfast room, thoughtfully designed with a breakfast bar separating it from the family area. A large, glazed door opens to the rear garden, filling the space with natural light.
There is also access to a rear lobby and cloakroom. The former garage, currently used for storage and a utility room, offers potential for conversion into an additional reception or study.
The triple-aspect living room features a characterful stone fireplace and flows into the bright, triple-aspect dining room, where French doors open onto the patio—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four double bedrooms, a dressing room, and a family bathroom plus a separate W.C.
Planning permission has been granted to reconfigure the layout, allowing for the creation of a luxurious principal suite with a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom.
About the Outside:
Set within a beautifully landscaped half-acre plot, the garden has been carefully designed to offer a mix of formal and informal spaces. There is a wildflower garden, a productive vegetable plot with raised beds and a greenhouse, plus a workshop and a potting shed.
A sheltered courtyard for al fresco dining, mature trees, flowering shrubs, and a stunning vine trained across the front of the house provide year-round interest and all contribute to its charm.
A large gravel driveway, enclosed by a traditional stone wall, offers ample parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, a spacious timber studio provides an ideal home office or creative workspace.
Charnwood is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-appointed home in a sought-after village location, combining modern comforts with versatile living spaces and beautiful outdoor surroundings.
Renovated by the owners to provide greater efficiency, the Air Source Heat Pump has proven to be an incredible asset and will continue to benefit from Renewable Heat Incentive payments until 2028.
