Edge of Baltonsborough - Detached 4 bedroom house set in a large plot

Completely private and sitting beautifully in its own plot Chevrons presents a fabulous and unique opportunity to acquire a very special home on the edge of the sought after village of Baltonsborough in the heart of Somerset. With the potential for a new owner to put their own mark on it, Chevrons was built in 1968 by local builder Brian Forsey and Son for the current owners.

Electric iron gates open into the driveway which is hidden from the lane by a high stone wall. The house sits in the centre of its ground with a lovely garden encircling it and far reaching country views across the fields beyond and enjoys a southerly aspect.

A partially glazed door opens into the large hallway with the reception rooms all leading off. A large coat cupboard provides plenty of good storage. The main reception room to the right is a fabulously large room, triple aspect with views of the garden all around and is flooded with natural light. There is great space for sofa arrangements and the fireplace is home to a Baxi fire which throws off tremendous heat on cold evenings, making this the perfect place for cozy nights in and a welcoming space for entertaining family and friends. Also off the hall is the dining room, an atmospheric room perfect for meals with family and friends. The kitchen at the end of the hall is light and bright and has views out across the garden to the fields beyond.  The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of units, double sinks, a larder cupboard, an electric oven and hob, dishwasher and space for a table and chairs, plus a serving hatch through to the dining room.  A door leads on to the large utility room, a really useful area including a separate downstairs loo and a door straight out to the garden.   Here there is space for everything needed for easy country living, including all laundry needs, dogs, boots, coats and storage cupboards.  There is a door connecting the integral garage to the house providing easy access with shopping and more opportunity for a multitude of uses and for storage.

A beautiful hardwood open tread staircase leads upstairs from the hall to a large landing above.  The master bedroom is a very generous size with lovely big windows affording plenty of natural light.  There are three further double bedrooms, one with a large walk-in wardrobe, all of which are a good size and all of which have fabulous views of the surrounding countryside.  The family bathroom has a bath, basin, loo and bidet, and is also home to a very useful airing cupboard.  Loft access leads to space that runs the length of the house.

Outside
The garden at Chevrons has been lovingly planted with a range of shrubs, beautiful trees and perennial plants that ebb and flow with the seasons. The garden wraps around the house with a high stone wall affording the house a high degree of privacy by completely concealing it from the lane. Entry is through electric metal gates which sit discreetly to one side with a drive leading to the front of the house where there is plenty of parking.  This area has lawn, mature planting, a greenhouse and a garden shed.  Down either side of the house are mature trees and a further garden shed on each side.  To the south of the house is the largest garden area with far reaching views across the fields beyond.  A highlight is the large pond, said to once have been the water supply to the whole village which is well stocked with fish.  Large lawns, mature trees, fruit trees including apple, plum and sweet chestnut are dotted throughout, a rose bed and rare shrubs are also lovely features.  A terrace off the kitchen with a door from the utility room creates a lovely space for dining under the stars in the warmer months.  

Chevrons provides a rare opportunity for a new owner to acquire a unique property and create a fabulous home in this much sought after Somerset village.
