Merriott Road, Merriott, Somerset, TA16

A fantastic modern house immaculately presented with six beautiful bedrooms, a delightful garden, situated at the edge of the most popular village of Merriott. THE PROPERTY First glimpses of Old Barn House are most impressive with its beautiful Hamstone faade under a pitched tiled roof. Built in the 1980's, the present owners have enjoyed this wonderful family property ever since it was built and it is not difficult to see why. Approached by a shared gravel drive there is plenty of parking with even a double garage with an office/games room above. A stone path leads up to the front door and on first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light, with a large hall with wooden flooring. To one side of the hall is a truly fabulous open plan family kitchen and sitting area, ideal for entertaining on a large scale, with plenty of room for a very large breakfast/dining table and even a sofa!. At the far end of the kitchen there are a number of attractive wall and base units incorporating a two door AGA (green) and a large granite island. There is a large pantry and a separate utility room, and double doors opening out to the gardens and paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms, one currently being used as a study, and an incredible sitting room, perfectly proportioned with a large stone fireplace and inset woodburning stove, there are also double doors leading out to the garden. The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor with four beautiful bedrooms including the main bedroom with an en suite bathroom, and also a family shower room. This floor like most of the house is flooded with natural light. The garden is an absolute delight, safe for children and animals, with a large lawned area and well stocked borders, with a summerhouse and BBQ terrace covered by a very pretty pergola. All in all, this is a truly fantastic family property in a most convenient location. LOCATION This part of South Somerset is rightly regarded as some of the finest in the south west, as the undulating hills and valleys give way to the wilder, and more dramatic scenery of West Dorset and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast to the south. Merriott is a relatively large village situated just under 2 miles north of Crewkerne. The village lies on the River Parrett and there were at one time three water mills and a factory which for more than a century produced sail cloth, including the sails for Nelsons "Victory". To the north of the village lies All Saints church with its Norman tower. There is a public house, the Kings Head, and The Feed Station cafe. Other local amenities include a number of stores, post office, pharmacy, village school, village hall and recreation grounds, social and sporting clubs. The village has good road links, with the A303 a 10-minute drive and 30 minutes to the M5. The fine market town of Crewkerne has a good range of high street and independent shops, supermarkets including Waitrose, cafes, restaurants and pubs and leisure facilities including a leisure centre and swimming pool. The larger commercial town of Yeovil is just under 10 miles away and boasts several large 'superstore' supermarkets, out of town retail parks, leisure facilities including theatre, cinema, bowling and leisure centre with swimming pools and a large hospital. Just a 35-minute drive away is the stunning World Heritage Jurassic coastline with many pretty coastal villages and towns, including the elegant resort of Lyme Regis with its attractive Cobb harbour and beaches
