THE PROPERTY
Tucked away at the end of a private no-through drive, this attractive stone-built home beneath a classic slate roof forms part of an exclusive trio of properties, thoughtfully arranged to maximise privacy while maintaining a welcoming sense of community. Combining traditional character with practical family living, the property offers generous, flexible accommodation suited to modern lifestyles.
The home is entered via a welcoming porch leading into a bright entrance hall with useful understairs storage alongside a conveniently located cloakroom WC. The living room is a particularly impressive space, featuring dual-aspect windows that fill the room with natural light while double patio doors open onto the rear patio, creating an ideal indoor–outdoor flow for entertaining. A striking full-height stone chimney breast serves as a focal point, incorporating a gas-burning stove with built-in low-level pine cupboards that enhance the property’s traditional character. The dining room comfortably accommodates a large table and opens onto the patio, making it well suited to everyday family meals or formal entertaining.
The kitchen is designed in a traditional farmhouse style, fitted with real wood larder-style cupboards and base units topped with marble-effect work surfaces, complemented by an inset dark acrylic sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a ceramic hob with undercounter electric oven and concealed extractor hood, while stone-ceramic tiled flooring and triple-aspect windows provide both practicality and excellent natural light. From the kitchen, a door leads to a useful utility room with an additional sink, plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, and direct access to the garden, creating a highly functional space for laundry and household tasks.
Stairs rise from the hallway to the first-floor landing, where a front aspect window offers views towards Colmers Hill alongside a useful airing cupboard for additional linen storage. Bedroom Two is the largest of the bedrooms, enjoying both front and rear aspect windows as well as a triple wardrobe, and offers versatility to be divided into two rooms subject to consents. Bedroom Three, currently arranged as a home office or study, features a triple wardrobe. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden with two rear aspect windows, a four-door wardrobe, and additional alcove storage, while an ensuite shower room is fitted with a shower enclosure, ceramic wall tiling, and a pine combination vanity unit incorporating a hand wash basin and WC.
The family bathroom includes a curved shower bath with wall-mounted shower and glass screen, paired with a shaker-style vanity unit offering storage and a wall-mounted towel rail. White ceramic tiling with complementary accent tiles around the bath completes the room.
OUTSIDE
Outside, the tiered garden has been designed to be low maintenance, featuring a large expanse of lawn and a substantial south-facing patio ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The space enjoys attractive views towards Colmers Hill, with established hedging providing a good degree of privacy, along with a wooden storage shed and raised vegetable beds. A double garage equipped with plumbing and electrics includes rear access to the garden, while the driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles.
SITUATION
The property lies within the picturesque village of Symondsbury, surrounded by glorious countryside and offering wonderful walks over Colmers Hill. The well-established Symondsbury Estate is close by and hosts a variety of popular annual events, along with a café, visitor centre, and an array of independent shops and studios, creating a strong sense of community and rural charm.
