The Red House has light and airy accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, living room, snug, kitchen, garden/dining room, w/c, four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Accommodation

 This detached family home, situated in the desirable area of Bruton, offers a blend of comfort and practicality. The property has four generously sized bedrooms and a variety of versatile living spaces, ideal for family living. The four different reception rooms give an excellent layout for busy families where individual spaces and privacy are important. Alternatively, the owners also drew up plans to reconfigure the ground floor to provide a much larger open-plan kitchen dining living space. Whichever your preference, there is great versatility here. 

Upon entering, a spacious hallway with a staircase rising to the first floor and to the left, there is a sitting room, perfect for a home office or dining room. To the right, a well-proportioned sitting room. Both rooms have fireplaces and big bay windows with inset window shutters. 

The kitchen, equipped with a comprehensive range of fitted wall and base units and a central island, connects to the snug which is great for socialising during dinner parties. There is a range cooker, and space within the units for a dishwasher, washing machine, and full-height fridge. Extending out to the rear, there is an extremely spacious garden room which has enough room for both relaxing and dining within. There are French doors, Velux windows and traditional windows along the entire rear elevation that allow light to flood in. At one end of the room, there is a useful storage cupboard and at the other, there is a w/c. 

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four double bedrooms. Each room benefits from high ceilings and large windows, contributing to the bright and airy feel throughout the upper floor. The rear-facing bedrooms also enjoy delightful views of the surrounding countryside. The family bathroom has recently been updated and in clouds a vanity unit, w/c, heated towel rail and bath with overhead shower. As part of the lapsed planning, there were also drawings made for a top-floor suite and the addition of two further bath/shower rooms.

Outside

At the rear of the property, there is a large terrace with steps that lead up to a neatly maintained lawn which is surrounded by borders with plenty of maturing shrubbery. By the lawn, there is a gravel terrace, ideal for taking in the view of the fields to the side and rear. There are also some raised beds with a nearby shed and greenhouse. 

 A double garage is located to the side of the house, providing additional storage or workshop space, and there is ample parking available at the front.
