North Cheriton, Templecombe, Somerset

Holt Farm is a property that combines the best of rural living with the convenience of modern amenities. With its generous living spaces, four double bedrooms, character features, and development potential, it is a fantastic opportunity for those looking for versatile living. The spectacular countryside views and quiet village location, with easy access to the A303, makes the position of this delightful farmhouse unmissable.

Accommodation - Holt Farm resonates a traditional farmhouse layout, with a double fronted façade, entering the property via the central entrance hall, with a staircase leading upstairs and rooms on either side.

On the ground floor is a triple aspect sitting/dining room, a cosy snug, well-appointed kitchen, boot room and a cloakroom. The sitting/dining room currently has an arch opening from one space to another, a feature fireplace and a window seat in the dining room. The kitchen has been fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, with an integrated NEFF oven and induction hob, and space for white goods. A cupboard houses the hot water tank and oil central heating boiler. A door leads into the boot room which has plumbing for white goods and glass running the length of the rear elevation, capturing the views and allowing these to reach the kitchen & dining room window. A cosy snug is situated at the front of the property, and for those looking for flexibility, there used to be a door leading into the Annexe which has subsequently been blocked up.

Upstairs are four generously sized double bedrooms, along with two bathrooms, offering comfort for the entire household. Enjoy breath taking countryside views from the rear bedrooms, as well as from the kitchens, boot room, and dining room.

Outside - Sat in a 1.811 acre plot (0.732 Ha), Holt Farm enjoys beautiful, mature and tranquil gardens that are a wonderful spot to take in the breath taking views. Currently split into gardens, parking area and a paddock, the outside space offers a fantastic selection of mature trees, shrubs and plants. With areas also laid to lawn, there is scope for the green-fingered to put their own stamp on too.

Annexe - The versatile annexe offers a comfortable space for multi-generational living, an additional income or flexible live/work space. The ground floor offers an entrance hall, cloakroom, dual aspect sitting room and modern fitted kitchen/diner, with integrated white goods, that overlooks the countryside views. Upstairs there is a generous double bedroom and en suite bathroom.

Studio - This useful and spacious studio offers a bright and inviting space that lends itself to a wealth of different opportunities, whether that be home office, gym or potential additional living space. There is a small kitchenette area with scope for improvement and a shower room.

Barn - A substantial structure, currently used for storage, but with stables and storage already in place, the barn offers immense potential and opportunity. Although the planning permission granted in 1999 for conversion into a two-bedroom, two-bathroom residential property has lapsed, it represents an exciting opportunity for future development (subject to the relevant permissions - previous planning application number 99/02460/FUL).

Situation - North Cheriton is conveniently positioned amidst attractive countryside between Wincanton and the Abbey town of Sherborne. Wincanton, Sherborne (8 miles) and the regional centre of Yeovil (13 miles) all lie within motoring distance; providing between them all an excellent variety of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding all abound the area; with golf clubs at both Sherborne and Yeovil. The property is also within a short driving distance of The Newt, an award-winning boutique hotel with gardens and a restaurant. Due to the property's close proximity to the Georgian Estate, the vendor has advised us that you will receive a discount on passes to visit the gardens. The region is extremely well known for both its excellent private and state schooling - these include the Sherborne schools, Bruton, Millfield and Hazelgrove. Communication links are very good with main line stations at Templecombe (3 miles), Sherborne and Castle Cary (7 miles), linking directly with London Waterloo and Paddington respectively. Road links are also good, and this would be along the A303, joining at Wincanton, giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3 and M25 routes.
