ACCOMMODATION A wonderful chapel conversion located in the beautiful Somerset village of Hemington featuring beautifully presented characterful accommodation, large gardens and an attached paddock.
The original entrance is at the front of the Chapel but is not currently in use. The current entrance is at the side of the property and into a hallway with a galleried landing, vaulted ceiling and beautiful stripped wood feature bannisters. The kitchen/breakfast room is found to the left and is a superb space with room for a generous sized table and chairs. The kitchen is fitted with a range of hand made wall and base units with solid wood work surfaces and tiled splash backs. There is an AGA, ideal for country living, as well as a Belfast sink, flagstone style flooring and exposed beams. The kitchen leads to a useful utility room that has space and plumbing for a washing machine as well as plenty of space for coats and boots. The dining room is accessed from the hallway and has beautiful wooden herringbone style flooring and plenty of space for a fair sized table and chairs. The ground floor also includes three double bedrooms, one to the side and two to the front, as well as a smart fitted shower room.
The first floor landing is a galleried space with stairs rising from the ground floor and beautifully preserved woodwork. There is an arch and double doors leading to the most spectacular part of the property, the living room. This is a truly amazing space with a vaulted ceiling and exposed woodwork. The room is large and has plenty of space for lots of furniture and has a wood burning stove as well as radiators. The master bedroom is also on the first floor and is the largest of the four bedrooms. It is a fantastic space with windows to the side and rear and has a door to the Jack and Jill bathroom.
OUTSIDE Chapel House has the most fantastic gardens as well as a separate paddock to the side of the rear gardens. The total plot measures 1.46 acres and benefits from some beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. There is a smart lawned area to the front and access down both sides of the property to the rear. There is a large patio seating area with steps leading to the upper formal garden which is mainly laid to lawn with some beautiful mature borders. There is a productive fruit and vegetable garden beyond this with a separate orchard area to the far end, currently housing geese! The paddock area is accessed from the main garden and would be ideal for a pony. There is also a poly tunnel to the side of this. There is a detached garage/workshop/stable block with light and power. There is a large parking area and long driveway providing plenty of parking for the property.
