3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Marsh Lane, Henstridge, Templecombe BA8

The sitting room exudes warmth and character, with an inviting fireplace housing a wood-burning stove and exposed stone alcoves that create a wonderfully cosy atmosphere.

An opening from the dining hall leads through to the bespoke fitted kitchen, with an electric range cooker, larder unit, fitted units, butler sink, and granite work surfaces - all combining to create a classic country-style kitchen. The rear lobby provides access to a cloakroom and the garden.

From the dining hall, a staircase rises to an impressive galleried landing with a wrought iron balustrade and exposed ceiling beams. On this level are two characterful double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom complete with a roll-top bath.

A further staircase ascends to the principal bedroom, an exceptional room featuring heavy exposed timbers, fitted wardrobes, and a door to a private en-suite shower room with a beamed ceiling.

Outside, to the front, there are two attractive areas laid with loose stone, ideal for pots and tubs, bordered by a traditional stone wall and mature hedging. Solar panels provide electricity and a source for heating the hot water, with surplus electricity fed back into the national grid, offering an additional income.

The delightful rear garden is a particular highlight - generous in size and enclosed by natural stone walls and fencing. It offers a large expanse of lawn, a paved patio perfect for al fresco dining, mature shrub and flower borders, a greenhouse, timber shed, raised vegetable beds, and a charming summer house with veranda enjoying a lovely outlook over the garden.

In summary, this outstanding home combines period character with modern comforts, offering beautifully presented accommodation, and delightful gardens, situated within a popular Somerset village.
