4 bed detached house for sale

Kingweston, Somerton, Somerset TA11

The Old School House is a Grade II listed property which offers beautifully presented accommodation incorporating both traditional features and contemporary living. The house was constructed in 1707 with local Blue Lias stone elevations under a slate roof, with stone chimneys. The front windows have curved surrounds with ornate detailed panes. When entering the property through the porch, the entrance hall is spacious and immediately provides a glimpse of the interior style featuring wallpaper designed by Adam Calkin for Morris and Wood. You are then drawn to the back of the property with the natural light flooding through from the floor to ceiling windows and doors in the kitchen/dining room facing out onto the South West facing terrace. The kitchen is the focal point of the property and the staircase rises from here. Lying on either side of the hall are the two main reception rooms. Downstairs there is also a utility room and WC. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with ensuite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Lying adjacent to the terrace is the detached timber clad annexe which is currently used as a guest bedroom with private ensuite. This could have several uses including an office/studio for the owner or additionally this could also be used to provide a letting income, if required.

Approached off the small and quiet village lane, the front garden is enclosed by a low stone wall with a small wooden pedestrian gate leading to the front porch, with a separate gated driveway with parking for 2/3 cars to the right. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with the paved path flanked by lavender borders. The main garden lies to the rear, which has been beautifully designed with an upper and lower area and is south facing. Adjacent to the house there is a large stone paved terrace with direct access to the kitchen making it ideal for alfresco entertaining. The annexe lies on the opposite side of this terrace. There is an area of lawn leading from the terrace with a large variety of mature shrubs and planting. The gently curving lawns are framed by beautifully planted beds with the lower level of the garden being reached by stone steps. This lower level provides a perfect private spot, with built stone benches, a covered (planted pergola) seating area and is partially walled.
