Stoney StokeWincanton, Somerset, BA9 8HY

The property is approached from Stoke Hill Lane via a tarmacked drive, over which the property benefits from a right of access. A five bar wooden gate opens onto the property’s own private driveway. On the opposite side of the drive is a double carport.

The house is constructed of stone beneath a tiled roof, the house is an exceptionally attractive period property, well positioned within the hamlet and enjoying a lovely southerly aspect.

The front door opens through a stone porch with an ornate antique door into an internal hallway, from which the principal rooms radiate. The hallway and drawing room both have parquet flooring, while the kitchen has a stone tiled floor and exposed beams. Fitted with cupboards to either side, the kitchen also offers a fitted Miele dishwasher and fridge, together with a Belfast sink and an oil fired three door Aga. A walk in pantry sits alongside. The utility room connects to the kitchen and has its own entrance from the garden, with further floor mounted cupboards, a sink, a fitted Miele washing machine and a dryer, while also having plenty of space for a boot room.

The drawing room is exceptional, with windows overlooking the garden and the stone wall boundary beyond, as well as French door opening outside. It has exposed beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace with bread oven and wood burning stove. The dining room lies beyond and enjoys many of the same attractive features, including lovely garden views and an inglenook fireplace. From here, one moves into the library, which has dual aspects over the garden, with exposed beams and built in bookshelves. At the other end of the hall are the study and a guest WC.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has exposed beams and dual aspect views over the garden, together with a built in wardrobe and a walk in alcove that would work well as a dressing room. There are three further double bedrooms, one with its own hand basin and two with built in wardrobes. The family bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC, while the second shower room has a separate shower, basin and WC. This room was formerly a bedroom and once formed part of an en suite to the principal bedroom, so could be converted back if required.
