An opportunity to purchase a unique and particularly spacious Grade II Listed detached house, occupying a generous plot within the village of Westport. This superb period home offers versatile living accommodation which includes two finely-proportioned reception rooms and a fabulous holiday let apartment on the top floor. Adjoining the Westport Canal basin, the property benefits from ample driveway parking and a delightful, south-facing garden.
A door to the front of the property opens into a dual-aspect farmhouse kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wooden fronted floor and wall units. Within the kitchen there is a tiled floor, a built-in pantry, space for a dining table and plumbing for both a freestanding washing machine and fridge/freezer. In addition, there is an oil-fired Rayburn and an inner door through to the main hall. Incorporating the staircase to the first floor accommodation with a storage cupboard beneath, the hall also leads into a downstairs WC and both reception rooms. The sitting room is dual-aspect too, and includes a central fireplace with a multi-fuel burning stove, and fully glazed door (with panel windows to each side) opening out to the garden.
The second reception room is an excellent size and has partly exposed stone walls and an under stairs area currently utilised as an office space. Wooden double doors then open out to a balcony on the east side of the property, which looks out across the Westport Canal basin. From this room, a door continues through to a further hall, which has an external door to the rear, entry into a boiler room and an additional staircase to the first floor (with access in turn to the top floor apartment).
On the first floor, a central landing has a built-in storage cupboard and access into two generous double bedrooms; the Master bedroom is dual-aspect and includes exposed beams and fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is fitted with a matching white suite with a shower over the bath, tiling around and a heated towel rail.
Also located off the first floor landing is a studio, which is flexible in its use and offers further scope for additional income or for family to have their own designated space if desired. Another spacious dual-aspect room, the studio offers plenty of space for a double bed, other soft furnishings and a dining table and chairs. Within the studio there is also a kitchenette, wiring for electric cooker and plumbing for washing machine, a built-in cupboard, one set of large double wooden doors opening out to the canal with a Juliet balcony and another set of shutters on the rear side, with a more rural view. Adjoining, there is an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath, a pedestal wash hand basin and a low level WC.
To the rear of the studio, a door opens out onto the second landing area which is accessed via the aforementioned staircase from the rear hall. From here, a further door leads to the top floor staircase rising to the impressive apartment on this level. Used as a holiday let and independent accommodation for family by the current owners, this section of the house would certainly appeal to a wide variety of purchasers. The staircase leads into a fabulous sitting/dining room, which is very well-proportioned with windows on two sides and similar to the studio, fitted with large doors to the canal side (with a small balcony) and a set of shutters with a pleasant outlook. This delightful room includes exposed trusses, a wooden floor, a galleried storage area, built-in storage and an accessible loft space. The kitchen is separate with a window to the front of the property. Presented with floor and wall units, the kitchen offers an integrated slim line dishwasher, space for a fridge/freezer and a freestanding cooker (with an extractor hood over), plumbing for a washing machine and a small breakfast bar. Completing the accommodation of the apartment is one double bedroom with a front aspect, and a bathroom with a low level WC, a wash hand basin and a bath with an electric shower over.
The village of Westport lies 5.5 miles south-west of the market town of Langport and is easily accessible from the A303 to the south and the A378 to the north. The adjoining village of Hambridge has a well-regarded primary school, a church, a village hall and the popular Lamb and Lion pub. There are some superb rural walks from Westport and the historic National Trust site of Barrington Court, a beautiful Tudor mansion set in colourful gardens, is located only 2 miles away.
Nearby Langport features a Tesco supermarket, a petrol station, a Post Office, doctors' surgery, dentists, cafés, a library, banking services and a selection of other independent shops and facilities.
An initially shared driveway leads to an extensive area of private driveway parking, laid to stone chippings with planted borders. Within this area, there is entry into a timber workshop with light and power, which is adjoining to the side of the property and lends itself to a variety of uses, not least as excellent storage. The property is set within a plot measuring 0.27 acre, with the main garden south-facing, and predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees and established shrubs, an English Walnut tree and other fruit trees. There is fencing on two sides and the canal basin is set below the other, providing a pleasant setting. Incorporated within the garden is a summerhouse, a shed and in front of the house itself, an enclosed and gated patio seating area with steps down to the canal bank. Furthermore, there is another area of ground to the rear of the property, laid to patio.
