Church Lane, Doulting, Somerset, BA4

A most attractive, double-fronted Grade ll listed period house, offering well-proportioned accommodation and a superb rear garden. The property includes two generous double bedrooms, a well-appointed family bathroom, two reception rooms and an additional ground floor wet room. Available with no onward chain, viewings are highly recommended.


A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance porch, which has an inner door leading through to the sitting/dining room. Enjoying lots of natural light, this comfortable reception room includes a secondary glazed window to the front, an exposed wood floor and a beautiful stone fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove. At the back of the room, there is ample space for a dining table and chairs, with access through to an inner hall and an adjoining living room. A particularly versatile room, the living room could be utilised as a home office, a playroom or a ground floor bedroom, if desired. Also with a lovely exposed wood floor and a front-facing aspect, the living room offers a central fireplace and shelved alcoves.

The inner hall incorporates the staircase to the first floor accommodation and gives access to a downstairs wet room, fitted with a low-level WC and a wash hand basin.

At the rear of the property is the kitchen, which is currently split into two sections. The first provides areas of wooden work surface, a Belfast sink unit and plumbing/space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The second section offers a blank canvas to create a fantastic kitchen/breakfast room, currently with an electric range cooker, a tiled floor (with underfloor heating in both sections), an exposed stone feature wall, two windows to the rear looking out across the garden and an external stable door.

On the first floor, a spacious landing has access to the roof space and a window to the rear. There are two generous double bedrooms, both of which are at the front of the property. Completing the accommodation is a large family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath with a shower over, a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin and a heated towel rail.
The property is served by modern wall-mounted electric heaters throughout. 

OUTSIDE
To the front of the property, there is an area of enclosed garden, with a gated pathway leading to the main entrance. At the rear, there is a section of attractively laid patio immediately adjoining the kitchen, offering space for outdoor seating. Please note this part of the outside is subject to a right of access for the neighbouring properties (on foot), often typical with a period terrace home.

Five paved steps then lead to the main garden, which is a fabulous size and is predominantly laid to lawn with established borders, shrubs and planting. With plenty of space for those with children, and ideal for green-fingered purchasers, the garden includes a brick pizza oven and a useful stone outbuilding.
