Description

This property is a charming Edwardian house set in a private and secluded area, surrounded by gardens and grounds of approximately 6.5 acres. The house has a rendered and painted exterior with tall stone mullion windows and a clay tiled roof, and features well-laid out and generously sized rooms with tall ceilings. The interior has been well maintained and updated over the years, retaining many original fittings such as fireplaces, tiled and timber floors, and window seats. The property has a unique layout, with three reception rooms on the ground floor, including a drawing room that could be divided again if desired. The first floor has five double bedrooms, two of which share a shower room, and there is also an ensuite bathroom in the roof space that could serve as a flat for a teenager or nanny. The property also comes with an L-shaped former stable and garage block, which has huge potential for conversion into additional living space or holiday accommodation, subject to planning consent. The garden and grounds are beautifully maintained, with several areas of lawn, shrubs, and mature trees, as well as a paved terrace and a stone-built folly. The property is situated on the edge of the village of Bourton, which has a range of amenities, including shops, pubs, and a doctor's surgery, and is well positioned for transport links, including the A303, Gillingham and Castle Cary stations, and Bristol Airport.
