4 bed detached house for sale

Portway, Langport, Somerset TA10

A smart, characterful residence set on the edge of the busy market town of Langport, offering up to approximatley 8 acres of land, detached double garage with additional large workshop, 4 double bedrooms and multiple reception rooms.

Set back behind a fenced and hedged front boundary through double gates, a block paved driveway leads to the front conservatory, the main access point of the house. This is generous, fully double glazed & solid roofed structure with tiled flooring, currently used as an office and craft room. From here, past the downstairs shower room with walk in shower, the main hallway with high ceilings and cornicing offers access to all the main rooms.

The main reception area combines both a living room with an inset log burner and a spacious dining room that are elegantly divided by a period decorative archway. Both areas have bespoke shelving and storage that make use of walls and chimney breasts.

The kitchen has a superb outlook over the rear gardens and hosts a whole range of floor to ceiling cupboards on one side including two mid-level Bosch ovens, separate integrated full height fridge and freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The Neff induction hob as well as the sink sit below a large rear facing window and are sunk into wooden work tops that completes the country kitchen feel.

The kitchen leads to the gloriously light filled sun room with solid roof that offers access to the rear terrace via patio doors.

A cellar that is cleverly accessed from the hallway is unused by the present owners, but could be brought into use for a variety of functions such as a wine cellar or simply additional storage.
There is an additional sitting room with glazed French doors – a wonderfully square room with front facing aspect that could, if required, be used as an additional ground floor bedroom utilising the ground floor shower facilities; ideal for intergenerational living or additional guest accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor houses four double bedrooms, the master bedroom is generous size and has a wonderful outlook thanks to a Juliet balcony. A freestanding bath within the room sits on a tiled plinth adjacent to the ensuite shower room. An additional storage room off is presently used as a walk-in wardrobe.
Bedroom two is a large front facing double room with ensuite shower room. Bedroom three is also front facing where bedroom four is positioned at the rear, sharing a well-appointed, mostly tiled family bathroom with free-standing bath and modern sanitaryware.
Outside

To the front is parking for several cars on the driveway or under the timber framed, double car port which is large enough to house a campervan. A large double garage with electric up and over door provides additional storage or parking for up to 3 cars. Attached to the rear of double garage is a usefully sized workshop currently fitted out with two car ramps, ideal for car enthusiasts, but equally useful for any hobbyist requiring dedicated space. An additional store runs the length of these two areas with windows and accesses out to the garden.

A paved patio to the rear of the house leads to the generous south facing sun trap garden, with flower beds, a small pond, mature trees and decorative shrubs. The lawned garden leads to a large potting shed, a greenhouse, a timber garden shed housing lawn mower and equipment. Adjacent to the equipment store is a purpose built, quirky, covered al fresco dining/barbeque area, well used for outdoor entertaining. Beyond this is a well stocked woodstore, useful for storing and drying fuel for the two log burners. Behind the wood store a hidden gap in the hedge, under an abundant walnut tree, leads to a pretty, burgeoning wooded area, which the present owners acquired and planted about eight years ago as a nod to environmental concerns.

Adjacent and to the west of the main garden is an orchard containing a mix of pear, eating and cooking apple, plum, and greengage trees, alongside some unusual quince and medlar specimens. A natural pond is located towards the boundary that offers a safe haven for various forms of wildlife.

The plot is bounded to the south and west by land belonging to the vendor, currently used for grazing but could be suitable for a number of agricultural or recreational purposes. This extends to 5 acres and may be available by separate negotiation.

The large lawned garden area to the west of the house forming part of the property has the benefit of a planning consent for 2 dwellings which a purchaser could decide to implement if so desired.

Planning Permission: 24/01458/ful—Full planning consent for the erection of two detached dwellings including access arrangements, landscaping and associated works.
