Semi-detached house for sale in Honeylands, Curry Rivel, Langport TA10

With a large sunny garden, ample parking and beautiful views, this substantially extended pre-war semi offers particularly spacious rooms and even the bonus of an optional "extra" ground floor bedroom with a shower room close-by, ideal if you have a dependant relative. A great all-round family home.

The Property

This substantially extended and improved family home is well-located towards the outskirts of this popular village, and therefore boasts fine countryside views to the rear, beyond its generous rear garden. With plenty of room both inside and out, extended families or those moving with a dependent relative will appreciate the space on offer, where every member of the family can spread out and find their own space, and no-one gets a "box room" bedroom (because there isn't one!) The house has a practical and roomy layout, not least due to the two-storey extension added by the current owners.

A useful front porch with its vaulted ceiling and feature timber double glazed fan light window, gives you an additional space for storage of coats and shoes. It has a practical and hardwearing quarry tiled floor and skirting. This leads through to a traditional hallway with the stairs leading up to a half landing and useful understairs storage cupboards. The turning staircase and half-landing creates just the perfect amount of space for a designated home office or study. At the other end of the hall doors open to an extra front reception room, the perfect "snug" that can also be used as a ground floor fifth bedroom should you need it. If a family member needs "single level living" it also has easy access to the ground floor shower room via the adjoining utility area. The snug also connects in with the rest of the downstairs accommodation via the extended kitchen / dining room so parents will no doubt appreciate being within earshot and easy reach! There is also a woodburner in the snug (please see property information section regarding lack of certification).

The kitchen / dining room forms a large proportion of the two-storey extension and is well-presented with a pear-wood units, green slate flooring and green granite worktops. These incorporate a ceramic one and a half bowl single drainer sink unit with mixer tap and space for all your appliances including dishwasher, fridge freezer and additional space for a range cooker with stainless steel cooker hood over. The kitchen is flooded with natural light and french doors allow you to spill out onto the patio and garden in the warmer months. An extra area linking with the snug provides scope for further storage, a dresser perhaps, room for your piano or even an additional study area with the addition of a desk. A door then opens through to a handy separate utility room with second sink and space for both a washing machine and space for full height appliance. Beyond is an additional downstairs shower room.

The kitchen / dining room also connects through to the extended sitting room. The sitting room has a lovely wood-burning stove for a cosy glow (please see property information section regarding lack of certification) and lvt wood effect flooring flows through to the rear where french doors and glazed panels make the most of the view and access onto the garden. Having been extended, this is a versatile, multi-purpose sitting room which would allow for separation into two distinct areas if you prefer, or enough room to be used as a separate formal dining room.

First Floor

The half landing provides even more useful additional storage with the original period doors still in situ, and a further cupboard under the eaves off the main landing. The master bedroom has a lovely outlook over the countryside to the rear, a pretty cast-iron feature fireplace typical of the era and its own en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor and a generous family bathroom with white suite including p-shaped bath and mains shower over. All bathrooms have chrome ladder style towel radiators. Access to the loft is via a hatch from the landing and the vendor informs us this is part-boarded, with a pull down ladder and that the loft also contains the hot water cylinder for the central heating system.

Outside

To the front of the property a block-paved driveway provides off road parking, as does an additional tarmac driveway that leads down the side of the house via solid timber gates to additional parking / driveway space beyond. This in turn provides access to the detached timber garage with power and light connected. A paved area adjoining the garage houses the oil tank for the central heating system. To the side of the house is also an outside tap and the external oil fired boiler, whilst logs for the woodburner can be stored in the designated wood store at the rear of the house. The garden extends to over 100ft behind the property and enjoys a south-westerly aspect with lawns edged by a mature border and a range of ornamental trees including Japanese Acer and conifers. The garden outbuildings include two timber sheds, a summerhouse positioned to make the most of the views and sunshine and a greenhouse. Adjoining the house is a substantial paved sun terrace perfect for entertaining and dining outside, or simply taking in the lovely view.
