A very well presented chalet style house in the heart of the thriving and
active community of Stourton Caundle.
The double fronted house offers easy living with well proportioned and flowing
rooms alongside an easily maintained side and rear garden, all set back and
above the village lane. With uninterrupted views to the west to the rear, this
lovely house has much to offer.
The front door porch leads to the entrance hallway, off which to the left is
the dual aspect living room with feature fireplace and access to the garden at
the rear. To the right is the kitchen / dining room with wall and floor units
at the rear with the usual appliances and space for dining table to the front.
A recent addition is the conservatory to the side, giving more informal
reception space and side access to the garden and the garage.
Upstairs has a dual aspect main bedroom affording wonderful rear westerly
views through the picture window. An airing cupboard is on the landing and a
further second bedroom has village views to the front of the house. To the
rear is a newly refurbished large shower room with freestanding shower, wc,
hot towel rail and wash hand basin and again, those westerly views over the
Blackmore Vale.
The garage is adjacent to the side entrance with up and over door and it is
semi - detached to the neighbours garage.
