No Onward Chain.


Winkley House is a Grade II Listed home with a wealth of architectural and historical features including high ceilings, picture rails, handsome fireplaces and stripped floorboards. The south facing aspect and large windows with original shutters throughout create a light and airy atmosphere.

The large and welcoming entrance framed by a sweeping staircase provides access to the three principal reception rooms on the ground floor. The main reception room runs the length of the ground floor and benefits from a dual aspect. The full height sash windows with shutters bathe the room in sun throughout the day and provide a beautiful view of the garden to the rear of the property. The feature fireplace incorporating a modern but sympathetically styled wood burning stove and beautifully appointed wooden floorboards create a warm and relaxing feel to this expansive room.

The other two reception rooms on the ground floor both have period fireplaces, high ceilings, panel doors, and sash windows with shutters. The second reception room located at front of the property also benefits from floor to ceiling ash fitted bookshelves and cupboards. Both rooms are currently used as studies/home offices but have previously been used as additional reception rooms.

To the rear of the ground floor is a downstairs shower room fitted with a white three piece suite comprising W.C., wash hand basin and corner shower unit. A door from the main hall leads to a rear hallway with a long row of fitted coat and clothes cupboards, one of which houses the gas boiler.

From the rear of the main hall there is a staircase leading down to the lower ground floor and garden. A beautiful flagstone floored hallway on the lower level leads to the main kitchen as well as the panelled family reception room, the separate larder kitchen and a large utility cellar. The light and airy main kitchen has been completely renovated by the current owners to provide a mix of modern shaker style wall and base units with wood and quartz worktops, complemented by a grey slate floor. The kitchen also benefits from a sizeable feature island, a gas Aga, a large Belfast sink and sash windows overlooking the rear garden. Fitted white goods include a dishwasher, electric oven, induction hob and fridge/freezer.

An archway in the main kitchen leads to the family breakfast area which has a quarter light window, fitted wooden seating and a curved ceiling. This area can accommodate up to 10 people making it a great space for eating and entertaining (it can also be accessed from the lower hallway). To the rear of the kitchen is a downstairs cloakroom with wash hand basin and W.C. Adjacent to the kitchen is a further reception room with built-in cupboards and sash windows overlooking the garden. Depending on your lifestyle this room could be used as a dining room, play room, cinema/games room or family snug.

The lower level also includes a good size larder kitchen with fitted units and spare space for storage. A generous sized cellar includes a utility area with plumbing for appliances.
On the first floor a half landing provides access to the spacious family bathroom which is fitted with a three piece suite comprising W.C., wash hand basin and a generous bath with shower, radiator and under-floor heating. The bathroom also has a feature fireplace and a double storage cupboard.

Stairs from the half landing provide access to four generous double bedrooms, all benefitting from feature fireplaces and sash windows with three of the bedrooms also having fitted wardrobes. An additional small room on the front elevation could be used as a good size dressing room, office or nursery.

The property is located in the heart of the favoured village of Milverton, a friendly community offering a range of local amenities including a village hall, church, convenience store, pub and primary school, as well as a local football and cricket field. The nearby town of Wiveliscombe has a wider range of facilities, including sports clubs, a swimming pool, and Kingsmead Community School for secondary education. School buses from Milverton village are available for Kingsmead as well as for a number of local private schools. Milverton is also well placed with easy access to the Exmoor National Park, Quantock Hills, and northern coastline. A wealth of beautiful countryside walks and cycle routes are accessible from the property. Wellington town is approximately three miles away and provides excellent shopping with Waitrose, Asda, and Lidl, as well as a range of local, independent shops. The town also boasts some excellent indoor and outdoor sports facilities. The County Town of Taunton is seven miles away and has a more extensive range of shopping, educational, sporting, and cultural facilities, along with access to the north via M5 motorway junction 25 Blackbrook. Taunton also provides a mainline city rail link to London Paddington, Bristol and the South West. Exeter, via the A38 and M5 Junction 27 is also within commuting distance.

To the rear of the property there is a delightful walled garden enjoying privacy and a sunny orientation. The garden is accessed from a rear door that leads initially into a covered cobbled/stone area. The garden is laid mainly to lawn with well stocked borders, two patios (one paved and one golden gravel), and a useful garden lean-to store. Steps from the cobbled courtyard lead up to the patios which are both ideal for outside entertaining. Beyond the garden there is a large garage that is accessed on foot, through an arched gate within the walled garden and down a small lane. Vehicular access to the garage is from further along Fore Street. The front of the property, on Fore Street, is laid to pave and provides separation between the home and the pavement. Fore Street provides a road parking opportunity, or there is a carpark a short distance further along the street and an additional carpark to the rear, accessed via the garden lane.
