Detached period 4 bedroom house in central Bruton

Situated in the heart of Bruton, Townsend Villa is a handsome detached family home within walking distance of the high street and all the amenities it has to offer.

A spacious hall opens to a generously proportioned sitting room with a fireplace and French doors that lead outside. A glazed panelled door connects to the dining room at the rear of the house that in turn leads to the kitchen. An attractive bay window allows natural light to fill this room and a door opens to a pretty terrace and the garden. The kitchen comes with fitted units and space beneath extensive worktops for a variety of appliances – there is room here for a kitchen table and chairs for informal dining. Immediately adjacent to kitchen is a convenient utility room with space for all the usual amenities. The ground floor is completed by a second sizeable reception room with access from the kitchen.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom furnished with both a bath and a shower and traditional fixtures and fittings. A roof terrace or balcony is accessed from the principle bedroom and enjoys views of the garden below. This terrace is a flat roof so in theory has the possibility, with planning permission, to be extended to provide an extra bedroom, office, etc.

Outside

Townsend Villa has a charming and private garden that lies to the rear of the house. A seasoned stone terrace gives way to a delightful area of lawn embellished with a pretty pond and some mature shrubs – a wishing well adds character to this peaceful space! Alongside the property is a shared drive that comes with off street parking for 2 cars and access to the garden. The boundary to the garden is a combination of stone walls and timber fencing.
