Chew Stoke, Somerset

About the Property:
Accessed via double gates, the property opens into a private courtyard setting, which also provides the option for off-street parking. In addition, there is a designated parking space outside the gates, complete with electric charging provision, which has been used by the current owners for a number of years.
The property has been carefully improved over time, including the updating of the kitchen with the addition of an island and high-quality granite worktops, alongside the reconfiguration of the bathroom to create a well-appointed and practical space.
About the Inside:
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, offering a natural and well-connected layout. On the ground floor, an entrance hall leads through to a central dining room, which flows into the sitting room. Here, an attractive fireplace forms a focal point, while double doors open onto the courtyard, allowing for excellent natural light.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated and features granite worktops, a range of modern units, integrated appliances, a Quooker hot tap, and a food waste disposal system. The space comfortably accommodates a dining table seating up to eight, making it well suited to both everyday living and entertaining. Ceramic tiled flooring runs throughout the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are two generously sized double bedrooms, along with a well-presented family bathroom and useful storage on the landing.
About the Outside:
The courtyard garden to the front provides a private and low-maintenance outdoor space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A particular feature is the pergola, which is fully equipped with lighting, heating, and a retractable roof, offering protection from the afternoon sun and creating an excellent setting for covered alfresco dining.
The property also benefits from a fully insulated outhouse with power and water supply, providing valuable additional space for storage or utility use.
Agents Note - Flooding & Preventative Measures
The property was affected by a significant natural flood event in 2012, which impacted a large number of homes across the Chew Valley. This was an exceptional occurrence with water levels exceeding typical expectations for the area.
Since that time, multiple preventative measures have been installed, designed to protect the property and provide long-term peace of mind.
Importantly, there have been no further flooding incidents affecting the property, and the vendor has experienced no difficulty in securing ongoing buildings insurance including flood risk cover.
