This individually designed detached residence sits on a plot of just over a third of an acre in the pretty hamlet of Lower Henlade, close to the villages of Ruishton and Stoke St Mary and Taunton is just over three miles away to the west.
The house is surrounded by stunning Somerset countryside and the Blackdown Hills are not far away.
Inside, the living arrangement of this five-bedroom family home, named Moonrakers, is ‘upside-down’ in the sense that the main living quarters can be found on the first floor while the bedrooms are on the ground floor. The house is presented to a high standard through and displays several fine features.
Beyond the imposing entrance hall, with a partial galleried landing, there are four ground-floor double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and two family bathrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own dressing and ensuite bathroom. The fourth bedroom would also work well as a snug and leads onto an impressive and generously sized conservatory.
On the first floor, there is a spacious open plan living/dining room with windows to one side from where it’s possible to admire the magnificent views. The kitchen/breakfast has a traditional look with wooden units and integrated appliances. This floor is completed with a further double bedroom and a cloakroom.
Outside, beautifully landscaped and well-maintained gardens sit to the front and rear of the property. The large rear garden is south-facing and enclosed by mature hedging offering a good degree of privacy. A sizeable, shaped patio adjoins the house and is a wonderful spot for al fresco dining or entertaining. The patio spills onto a large area of lawn where there are strategically well-placed shrubs to add extra interest. A summerhouse is a welcome addition as are the surrounding open fields that back onto the garden.
At the front, there is ample parking space on the shaped driveway that leads to an integral double garage.
The property comes with no onward chain.
