Description
Vine Cottage is a distinctive, individually designed detached residence originally constructed in 1977 and thoughtfully enlarged during the early 2000s. Tucked away in a peaceful village location, the home enjoys an elevated position that captures attractive far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, offering both privacy and a strong sense of seclusion.
Set within an enclosed private plot, the property is enveloped by secure, well-defined gardens and benefits from ample off-road parking. The patio area offers the perfect space for alfresco dining and summer BBQ's while the tiered lawned offers space for children and pets to play. Parking is via an extensive driveway to the front with a garage.
In recent years, Vine Cottage has been the subject of a comprehensive programme of modernisation, with significant investment made into upgrading the core infrastructure, including heating, electrics, and plumbing, alongside a full interior redesign. The current owners have carefully reimagined the layout to create a more fluid and versatile living environment, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. This includes the addition of a highly practical utility area and the creation of open-plan spaces ideal for modern family living.
The internal accommodation is notably bright, spacious, and well-proportioned throughout. At the heart of the home lies an impressive entrance hall, designed to create an immediate sense of arrival and providing access to a conveniently located cloakroom/WC. From here, the accommodation flows seamlessly into the principal living areas. The dual-aspect sitting room enjoys pleasant views over the gardens and benefits from an abundance of natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Continuing through the ground floor, the layout opens into a stylish and contemporary dining and family living space, which forms the social hub of the home. This area is centred around a striking double-sided fireplace incorporating a wood-burning stove, providing both a focal point and a cosy ambiance. French doors lead directly out onto a partly walled rear garden and sun terrace, creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The adjoining kitchen is beautifully appointed with a comprehensive range of modern, high-gloss cabinetry featuring soft-close mechanisms. Storage is plentiful, with a combination of base units, eye-level cupboards, tall larder units, and deep drawers designed for both practicality and style. Expansive quartz work surfaces with matching upstands complement the sleek finish, while a double inset stainless steel sink with mixer tap adds functionality. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, alongside designated space for an American-style fridge/freezer. Cooking facilities are equally impressive, with twin side-by-side electric ovens and a five-ring induction hob set beneath an extractor hood, all finished with a quartz splashback.
An inner hallway leads to the well-equipped utility room, which continues the high standard of finish with matching gloss units, quartz worktops, and an inset sink. Additional features include a broom cupboard, tiled flooring, and a walk-in storage cupboard housing the oil-fired central heating boiler.
Upstairs, the property offers five generously sized bedrooms, each enjoying pleasant outlooks over the gardens and surrounding countryside. Two of the bedrooms benefit from recently upgraded en suite shower rooms finished to a high standard, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Overall, Vine Cottage combines character and individuality with modern comfort and practicality, enhanced by extensive upgrades to its heating system, electrical wiring, and plumbing. The result is a beautifully presented home, ready for immediate occupation while still offering exciting potential for future enhancement.
Location is key here, Vine Cottage is located just two miles from Templecombe train station, a main line into London waterloo. The A303 is a short drive away which again provides direct access to London but also the South West. There is a selection of both Primary and Secondary schools to choose from including Wincanton and Sherborne.
