There is a family bathroom with bathtub and separate shower cubicle and the principal bedroom has a fantastic ensuite shower room as well as plenty of built in storage. Stairs rise again to the second floor where there is a further bedroom and study/office area, ideal perhaps for a teenager or guests. Further storage is provided in the eaves, whilst dormer windows provide useful additional headroom.
GARDENS AND OUTBUILDINGS
A tarmac driveway rises up to an area of parking for several cars. A large double garage with electric doors, power and water provides some very useful storage and potential workshop space. A Dab water technology system, housed here, ensures excellent water pressure throughout the property and an additional stone built store provides further storage solutions. Outside to the rear of the property is a large, paved terrace with raised beds filled with a variety of established plants including lavenders, salvias and various shrubs, all providing privacy, interest and shelter. Steps then lead up to a lawned area which is bordered with fencing, clipped hedges, further mature shrubs and flower beds. A selection of trees provides some vertical structure to the space. Gates at either side of the property provide access to the front. Access can be gained at the end of the garden directly onto a footpath negating the need to get into a car should you wish to explore the stunning surrounding countryside by foot.
LOCATION
Norton Sub Hamdon is one of Somerset’s premier villages, lying as it does at the foot of Ham Hill, from where the honey coloured Hamstone, for which the area is renowned, is quarried. The centre of the village is a Conservation Area in which planning controls are in force to preserve the special character of the village, thus it remains unspoilt with a blend of houses of differing periods. The village is small, however there is a real sense of community and it is of a sufficient size to support most amenities, including the thriving village shop and post office (run by volunteers), hair salon, tea room, village hall, Lord Nelson Inn, Castle Primary School and St Mary’s Church. The larger centres of Yeovil, South Petherton, Martock and the market town of Sherborne are all within easy reach and offer a range of traditional shops and high street stores with hospitals at South Petherton and Yeovil. Communications to this part of the world are excellent. The A303, which is within two miles (yet out of earshot) is dual carriageway most of the way to both London and the west country. Railway stations are at Yeovil and Crewkerne (Waterloo) and Castle Cary (Paddington).
SPORTING AND RECREATION
The area is well known for its beauty and there is a network of bridleways and footpaths which cross the countryside making it ideal for walking, cycling and riding. Water sports can be found at Sutton Bringham Reservoir (near Yeovil) or on the south coast and racing at Wincanton, Taunton, Bath or Exeter. Golf at various courses including Yeovil, Sherborne, Wheathill or Long Sutton.
EDUCATION
The area is particularly noted for the high quality of schools for children of all ages with Sherborne Prep, Perrott Hill, Hazlegrove Prep and Sherborne Boys’ and Sherborne Girls’ all within easy reach. Castle Primary and Norton sub Hamdon Primary Schools as well as The Gryphon and Beaminster secondary schools are highly rated and easily accessible.
