This well-proportioned and deceptive home would suit a wide variety of purchasers, including those seeking single-storey living, families requiring space for children as well as multi-generational buyers with a need for separate reception rooms. The flexibility and configuration of the accommodation provides a buyer with various options, with internal viewings therefore highly recommended. A door to the front of the property opens into an L-shaped hall, which incorporates a built-in airing cupboard, the staircase to the first floor with storage beneath and access into a WC. To the left of the hall is the main sitting room; a comfortable reception room which includes a central fireplace, shelving into the alcoves and a double glazed bay window to the front. The kitchen/dining room is located at the rear of the property and is particularly light, airy and spacious, with bi-folding doors opening out to a fabulous terrace. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of high-quality floor and wall units, granite work surfaces and attractive Travertine floor tiles. Within the kitchen, there is an integrated Neff electric double oven (with a slide and hide door), a gas hob with an extractor above and a dishwasher. In addition, there is an under-the-counter fridge, carousel units, a wine cooler, skirting board lighting and a larder cupboard. The dining area offers plenty of room for a large table and chairs and with the terrace adjoining, provides the perfect space for families and for entertaining. A door from the kitchen then opens into a useful utility room, complete with further floor and wall units, plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a second drainer sink and separate access out to the garden. Steps down from the dining area then lead through to the family room, a superb reception room with a large feature window allowing in an abundance of natural light, as well as providing the most delightful outlook across the garden with Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills beyond. The family room offers a further set of bi-folding doors to the terrace and a wood burning stove – a lovely focal point. A staircase then gives access to a separate study and up to a fantastic galleried snug, which could be utilised in several ways, including for those seeking a playroom or library. There are four bedrooms located on the ground floor, two of which benefit from well-appointed en-suite shower rooms and three having built-in double wardrobes. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a family shower room, which has been refitted in a contemporary style and comprises a large walk-in shower, a low-level WC and a wash hand basin.
On the first floor, there is one further double bedroom, enjoying far-reaching views – ideal for guests. Accessible from the first floor landing is a superb loft space providing extensive storage and scope for conversion into additional accommodation if desired (subject to gaining the relevant consents).
Outside
The property is nicely positioned, set back from Barton Road and occupying an excellent plot measuring 0.59 acre. A gated access to the front opens to a stone-chipped driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The driveway leads to an attached double garage, which has an electric roller door, light, power and window to the rear. At the front of the property is a large section of lawn with established borders, offering further potential for a detached car port or similar (stpp).
At the rear of the property is the fabulous garden, predominantly laid to lawn with a patio seating area and enclosed to all sides by mature hedging. Undoubtedly one of the main selling points, the aforementioned terrace has a glass enclosure and provides the perfect place for outdoor dining and socialising.
The pretty and highly sought-after village of Butleigh lies in a convenient location with direct road access to both Street and Glastonbury. Butleigh itself has a Post Office and store, a village hall, a 14th century church and a Church of England primary school with a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. There are also village cricket and rugby clubs.
The thriving village of Street, the largest village in Somerset offers a comprehensive range of amenities and facilities, including a bustling High Street and the famous Clarks Village outlet. Street is also home to Millfield Prep and Senior Schools.
The market town of Glastonbury is known for the Tor - its most iconic landmark. Steeped in history, medieval Glastonbury is a designated conservation area that clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey. The town offers a wide variety of services with an eclectic mix of independent shops, plus two major supermarkets. Castle Cary mainline railway station is located less than 10 miles away, offering services directly to London Paddington. For those travelling by road, the A37 and the A361 are within easy reach, as well as the A303, which is only seven miles to the south.
