SITUATION
Sutton Mallet is a small rural village situated on the southern side of the Mendip Hills which is an attractive landscape area situated in mid Somerset. The nearest primary school is at Catcott 2.2 miles away and the busy market town of Street, famous for the home of Millfield School is 8 miles away. Street provides an excellent shopping centre and a choice of recreational facilities. Sutton Mallet is approached along country lanes, yet is only 7 miles from the M5, enabling commuting to Taunton and Exeter 21 and 51 miles respectively and Bristol via the A39 is 36 miles and Bath, 41 miles.
DESCRIPTION
A particularly attractive south facing period cottage set in an idyllic rural location, which offers further potential to extend with planning permission which was granted for a large extension which unfortunately has now lapsed. The house itself requires some updating but was extended a number of years ago and provides well proportioned accommodation arranged over 2 floors. It is the setting that is so special, being surrounded by beautiful countryside including a large range of outbuildings with significant potential and being set in just over 8 acres of gardens and grounds.
ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation includes an entrance hallway with exposed natural stone walls and stairs to first floor and there is a storage cupboard, glazed doors to dining area, sitting room and kitchen. The hallway continues past the stairs to the utility room. The sitting room has a deep stone inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel stove and windows to the front and rear overlook the gardens. The dining room has a bay window overlooking the front garden with an arched fireplace with multi-fuel stove. The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units with worksurfaces, sink, fitted electric oven, tiled floor and window overlooking part of the garden. The rear hall / utility is a useful space fitted with a range of cupboards and space for washing machine, recess for window, boiler and door to outside. There s a cloakroom with wash basin and WC and on the first floor there is a landing with airing cupboard. The master bedroom enjoys fine views over the garden and land and also an en-suite with WC, shower and wash basin. There are 3 further bedrooms and a bathroom which is fitted with a matching suite and a small office with window overlooking the gardens.
OUTSIDE
There is a pillared entrance with twin 5 bar gates leading to the front of the house and gives access to the yard, which includes a number of outbuildings, one being a former cow shed which measures 36ft by 25ft. Beyond this is a long barn divided into 3 sections, the first being 13ft by 15ft, the second is 23ft by 16ft and the third is open ended measuring 27ft by 16ft. There is an adjoining open fronted barn, separated into separate pillared bays overall measuring 70ft by 13ft and at the end of this is an adjoining tack room which measures 13ft by 12ft. The barns provide an excellent scope for a small-scale stock conversion or dividing it into stabling or workshop as well as home office potential subject to necessary planning consent. There is a timber 2 bay stable, each bay measuring 12ft by 12ft, and hay barn also measuring 12ft by 12ft.
The land is gently sloping, wrapping around the southern and eastern edges of the property and is currently divided into five separate paddocks which are bordered by fencing and classic hedgerows. From the top of the large paddock, there are wonderful views over the Polden Hills across a wide sweeping valley toward the Quantock Hills in the distance. The property is set in approximately 8 acres which is a partly established garden with a greater part divided into the paddocks. The gardens are beautifully arranged including ample areas of lawn, with a number of established trees and flower boarders.
SERVICES
Oil-fired central heating, mains water, private drainage and electricity.
AGENT'S NOTE
There is an additional 2 acres adjoining the land available by separate negotiation.
