Moorlands Road, Merriott £800,000

Set off Moorlands Road, the property is at the edge of the village urban area and as such benefits from low levels of passing traffic whilst remaining within easy walking distance of the main village shop. To the side of the home is the entrance into the gravel laid driveway.

The main used entrance is to the rear, a set of double doors which provide access to the garden room. This in turn extends into the main kitchen area, which is the home to a recently refurbished 3 oven gas fired Aga. The entire rear of the house looks out onto the garden which is set against the backdrop of the impressive high stone walls. A practical laundry room can also be accessed from this space as well as the downstairs WC. The sitting room is an impressive space with two doors providing access directly from the breakfast area or the rear of the kitchen. A feature of the sitting room is the imposing hamstone fireplace with large wood-burner and timber lintel. Two large front aspect windows provide natural light and a pleasant outlook to exterior foliage. A set of stairs are to the rear and these provide access to the upper floor. The next room is the library, again a sizeable room and ideal as a separate space with its own smaller hamstone fireplace and front aspect windows. To the rear of this room are a set of double doors which take you to the entrance area which links by window to the kitchen and provides an external front door.

This space has been configured to create 3 bedrooms. The principal is a nice space with front and rear aspect windows and comes with the added benefits of en-suite and walk in wardrobe. The second bedroom is a large double, with a built-in wardrobe and has a window to the front of the property with views of a small wood. The third bedroom is single room. To the rear is the spacious main bathroom.

Accessed up a narrower set of stairs and with a side aspect window providing natural light, the attic room is suited for visiting family and features exposed beams, low level side window. There are two dormer windows in the bedroom and a further dormer window in the bathroom. This space has been dressed with two beds and lots of space for additional furnishings. There is a full bathroom suite (unused) and built in storage to the eaves. A further space is accessed through a door to the exposed attic space, ideal for easy storage of suitcases, etc.

The longest building offers several parking bays and a open storage area, ideal for a caravan, boat or trailer. There is a large storage room to one corner. In the centre is the office which has been insulated and has heating. A further smaller room has been configured to house the chest freezer and an upright fridge.

Set over a loose gravel base, the driveway is spacious for several vehicles and offers plenty of space to turn. The area is dressed with mature borders and features a wide range of colourful, year round plants.

The garden is raised several steps up from the main walkway to the rear of the house and as such offers an elevated outlook from the living spaces. Set within high stone walls this space is very private and peaceful. Indeed, I was here taking photos, etc at mid day and didn't hear a vehicle for about 15 minutes. The garden gains sun and has shade throughout the day.
