Additional text is available below.A charming and characterful two double bedroom, grade II listed Georgian period home, which has been renovated and restored with exceptional attention to detail, occupying a lovely central position within Kingston St Mary. The house was built circa 1800 and has been loved and cared for by the current owners since 2022. You enter through the front door into the entrance hall with Karndean flooring, stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening to the principal reception rooms.
The sitting room/study is situated at the front of the house and enjoys high ceilings and a feature fireplace with inset wood burning stove, giving it a grand feel and stylish finish. The large sash window at the front, complete with shutters, provides lots of natural light and there is a large under stairs storage cupboard. The living room is positioned in the middle of the home and is beautifully presented with a feature chimney breast, with brick fireplace and a second wood burning stove. There are also bespoke built in cupboards, a window to the side aspect and folding doors opening into the kitchen diner.
The Owners Love - The current owners have loved “the kitchen layout! It is the heart of the house, and somewhere you can entertain friends and family, whilst preparing a meal as the summer sunlight floods the room with the French doors open." They particularly love “hunkering down in either of the two cosy reception rooms, with the fire roaring away in the winter months” which has made the lifestyle enjoyable all year round. They will mostly miss “our luxury ensuite, the easy access to Taunton station with links to London and being able to cycle down to Somerset Cricket Club in the summer”.
The kitchen diner is located at the rear of the house and benefits from a variety of fitted shaker style units with white quartz work surfaces over, boiling water tap and inset composite sink. There is an island unit, which benefits from storage beneath. There is a built-in high-level NEFF double oven and a four-ring induction hob with extraction over, fridge freezer and space for a freestanding dishwasher and washing machine. Beside the kitchen is the dining area with skylight above and room for a table and a sofa. French doors open out to the rear garden and allow for a fantastic indoor/outdoor lifestyle in the summer months and there is a small WC with washbasin and a new boiler, off the kitchen.
Upstairs, doors open to the two double bedrooms, each with their own ensuite facilities. The master bedroom is a great size and benefits from a window to the rear aspect and bespoke built in wardrobes. A door opens to the ensuite bathroom, which has benefitted from a recent refit to include a new bath, WC, twin wash basins, twin concealed cabinets with toothbrush charging points, bespoke storage unit, and an impressive walk-in shower, and underfloor heating. The second bedroom is again a good size with a window to the front aspect, again with bespoke built in wardrobes and with another refitted ensuite shower room with WC and wash basin.
George Loves - “I love the original features and characterful charm this property has! I have sold many period homes like this over the years (including the one next door recently!), but I must be honest, this is one of my favourites! It’s an incredible job here perfectly balancing modern conveniences with classic and traditional styling. I live just outside the village myself and have children at the village school, so know firsthand what a lovely place this is to lay down roots. This one won’t hang around for long!”
Outside, to the rear of the property there is a well laid out and spacious, south facing garden. Initially, there is an area laid to patio, which leads onto the main lawn. A path leads to the bottom of the garden and offers spaces for plants (large planters included) and another seating area. There are front, side and rear gates, with the one at the rear opening to the driveway, with space for three cars and a detached single garage with power and lighting.
