VIEWING NOW. A beautifully presented 4 bedroom character property in an enviable location on the edge of a desirable South Somerset village with delightful gardens all set in approx 2.1 Acres. EPC: Band D
Tucked away on the edge of the popular and desirable village of Tatworth, Wyndhams is a superb example of an 18th Century character cottage which has not only been restored to a high standard but retains much of the character and many of its original features. The property is believed to have originally been two cottages which explains the generous room proportions and fluid features including the imposing beams and fireplaces in both the sitting room and dining/drawing rooms. The property has spent much of its life as a single dwelling and at the heart of the house is a beautifully designed staircase with ornate ballustrade, believed to have been turned by a joiner's apprentice, making a truly unique talking point. The current owners have been in residence since 2009 and have truly made their mark on the property with their creativity, sympathetically doing the property justice. The house feels like a home and has great feeling of warmth from the natural materials, neutral tones and wealth of character.
The accommodation comprises of a an entrance/reception hall, kitchen/breakfast room with an AGA, hand-built kitchen and adjacent garden room, double aspect dining/drawing room with fireplace, double aspect sitting room with wood burner, utility, study and boot room on the ground floor. There are four bedrooms, one with en-suite, a generous landing and a family bathroom on the first floor.
The front of the property is accessed via a quiet lane through secure gates and onto the private drive. The gravelled driveway provides access to the garden, parking area and outbuildings. There is the benefit of both a Double Garage and a Double Carport.
The large, open, sunny garden has been designed and richly planted for all year round colour and interest. As the pretty autumnal leaves finally fall away many fiery winter stems of cornus shrubs and willows are revealed providing warmth and dramatic glowing shapes to wintry days, soon joined by swathes of underplanted snowdrops and hellebores. Swaying clumps of Miscanthus grass varieties add light and movement throughout many months from summer to early spring. Spring brings a successional display of blossoming trees, including several apple, shrubs and naturalised bulbs of many kinds. Now the main perennial borders begin their show and crescendo in mid to late summer. It is a wonderful place to sit in the sun room and enjoy the show all year round, whatever the weather. Around the garden are several seating areas designed to take advantage of different aspects, including a secluded and sunny position to hang the hammock and swing bench with views across the wildflowers, down the meadow and beyond to the hills of the Axe valley. Countless varieties of wild bees are busy here all summer and roe deer live in the woodland at the far end, often to be seen peeping out with their young. The garden extends to approximately 0.75 acre, whilst the total plot sits in approximately 2.1 acres.
Enviably located on the fringe of the old part of Tatworth, a thriving residential village some 2½ miles to the South of Chard. Local amenities within easy reach include an excellent primary school, Post Office/general store, pub, social club and Church. Chard offers a wide range of facilities with a choice of major supermarkets, smaller retailers, banks, medical services and a highly rated community school. The County Town of Taunton is some 16 miles to the North with easy access to the M5 motorway and intercity rail service (London Paddington). The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 12 miles South at Lyme Regis with its famous Cobb Harbour.
