Doors lead to the kitchen/dining room on the right and the sitting room on the left, giving the ground floor a straightforward, practical layout.
Kitchen/Dining Room
To the right of the hallway, the dual-aspect kitchen/dining room extends the depth of the house, creating a sociable heart to the home. Tiled flooring and soft blue walls complement the warm tones of the cabinetry. The kitchen is fitted with glossy wood-effect wall, base and drawer units, complemented by light contrasting worktops. The worktop extends out to create a natural division between the kitchen and dining area, where there is space for a table beside the front-facing window, a welcoming spot for family meals.
Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven and four-ring gas hob with an extractor above. The 1½ bowl sink and drainer with mixer tap sits beneath the rear-facing window that frames the stunning outlook across Wincanton towards the Blackmore Vale and countryside beyond. A door leads into the utility room.
Utility Room
Matching units and worktops continue the kitchen’s coordinated finish, with a stainless steel sink, appliance space and an understairs cupboard keeping laundry and household storage conveniently tucked away. A cupboard houses the gas central heating boiler. The half-glazed door brings in natural light and opens onto the terrace and rear garden.
Sitting Room
Returning to the hallway, a door on the left opens into the dual-aspect sitting room. Extending the depth of the house, this welcoming room has wood-effect flooring and space for family seating. A front-facing window and wide rear sliding door bring in natural light, while the outlook draws the eye beyond the decked terrace towards the surrounding landscape. The sliding door opens directly onto the terrace, creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Front Garden and Parking
Pebbled borders and hedging create a pretty frontage, while the driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the single garage, which has power and lighting. A pathway between the garage and the neighbouring property gives access to the rear garden.
Rear Garden
Thoughtfully landscaped over several tiers, the rear garden combines places to entertain and unwind with space for children to play. The generous decked terrace spans the back of the house, with direct access from both the sitting room and utility room. Its elevated setting makes the most of the stunning views across Wincanton and the Blackmore Vale, providing an inviting spot for outdoor meals or simply sitting back to enjoy the outlook.
Steps descend to a further patio framed by gravelled areas and planted borders. Beneath the decking, an area with power points accommodates the hot tub, providing another place to relax, with useful storage also available.
