Detached house for sale in Sparkford, Somerset BA22

Upon entering the property through an enclosed porch you come to a light and airy entrance hall with built-in cupboards, one of which houses the oil fired boiler. The hallway extends straight ahead giving access to three double bedrooms and a family bath/shower room.

To the right of the hallway you enter the original octagon which has been creatively designed to make best use of its shape and character.

The sitting room is dramatically enhanced by a double height ceiling with exposed timbers, whilst the natural stone open fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere. Stairs from the sitting room rise to the galleried upper living room overlooking the room below. This area is a particular feature with an octagon shaped chimney breast rising through the room.

The kitchen/dining room embraces the octagonal shape and is fitted with wall, base and drawer units, and a double drainer stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap. There is space for appliances and the dining area has a window overlooking the courtyard. A door leads through to a utility/boot room with doors to a cloakroom, double garage and outside.
