Set in about an acre of garden with far-reaching countryside views, The Old Cider House is a substantial three-bedroom detached Hamstone home that will suit families seeking space and character. The house blends original features — exposed timbers, stone fireplaces and part-vaulted ceilings — with practical upgrades such as modern double glazing and gas central heating. Plenty of outbuildings, a greenhouse and established vegetable beds support self-sufficient living and hobby gardening.
Ground-floor living is generous and versatile: a well-equipped kitchen opens to the dining room, with separate sitting and family rooms each centred on stone fireplaces. The layout includes useful utility, boot room and cloakroom facilities; upstairs are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite to the principal bedroom. Off-street parking and a single garage with adjoining workshop add useful storage and workspace.
The location is a major draw — a quiet village setting near South Petherton with good local amenities, highly rated primary schools and easy access to the A303 and nearby rail stations. Ultrafast broadband is available at the property, supporting home working, while the large, private garden and orchard provide room for children to play and for gardening projects.
Important practical points: the house is pre-1900 stone construction with assumed no wall insulation, so heating costs and insulation improvements should be considered. Mobile phone coverage can be limited indoors from some providers and Gigaclear fibre is available at the property but not currently connected. The sizable plot and mature borders will require ongoing maintenance. Council tax is above average.
