Description

Property Description: Guide Price £200,000 - £225,000. Situated on the east side of the village of South Horrington, this two bed ground floor apartment has triple aspect views over the gardens and is beautifully light and bright. Formerly the Mendip hospital, the handsome Grade II listed Victorian building was designed by renowned architect Sir George Gilbert Scott and encapsulates the feel of a period property of its time, with its high ceilings and fabulous bay windows.

Through the hallway, the triple aspect living room is flooded with natural light from the large bay window and is the heart of the home. There is a storage cupboard in the corner as well as space for a dining table. The adjoining kitchen is neutrally decorated and has a gas hob with electric oven and undercounter space for a fridge, a freezer, and a washing machine.

The principal bedroom is also triple aspect and overlooks the feature in the garden. The other double bedroom faces east and has a wardrobe. There is a family bathroom which has a bath with an overhead shower.

Outside: This apartment comes with a designated parking space a stones throw away and there is additional guesting parking available.

The stunning communal gardens with the property offer a tranquil setting for residents to relax and socialise. With a variety of mature shrubs and trees, the garden overlooks the cricket pitch and surrounding countryside and even has its own pond. The adjacent cricket grounds also offer a space for recreation.

Location: Nettlecombe House is set within the grounds of a Grade II listed former hospital, which is now the village of South Horrington on the outskirts of Wells.
