Description

Summer House is an impressive detached Cotswold stone period house, beautifully situated on the rural edge of the popular village of Didmarton. This attractive home occupies a generous 0.54-acre plot, backing onto fields and offering far-reaching views over the open countryside. Originally five separate cottages transformed into one substantial dwelling, it provides well-proportioned family-sized accommodation filled with natural light.  The elegant and extensive interior spans approximately 5,160 sq.ft., arranged principally over two floors, with additional versatile attic rooms and whilst well maintained and looked after, some cosmetic updating is required. 

The ground floor features three generous reception rooms that flow seamlessly into one another, perfect for both relaxed family living and entertaining. A large kitchen/family room is complete with an Aga and a central island unit. This level also includes a practical rear entrance hall, WC and a large boot room. Character features, such as three open fireplaces, add warmth and charm. On the first floor, there are three spacious double bedrooms, complemented by three well-appointed bathrooms. The second floor offers two further comfortable bedrooms and an additional bathroom, alongside two versatile attic rooms that could serve as hobby spaces or home offices.

The beautiful grounds of Summer House are a standout feature. Two gated driveways, located at the front and side, provide ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, in addition to a triple oak-framed garage. The gardens are thoughtfully arranged into two distinct walled areas. Adjacent to the rear of the house, a formal garden awaits, featuring a charming flagstone terrace beside a tranquil lily pond water feature. Beyond this, a manicured lawn is framed by raised borders and shaped box hedging. To the side, a second garden is very private screened by pleached hornbeam, boasting an extensive lawn and a 28ft x 13ft heated swimming pool.
