Hethersett struck us immediately as a unique and quirky home. Having viewed over 150 properties to no avail, we knew instantly Hethersett was the one !
It has proved to be an incredibly comfortable house to live in, with all our must haves ticked - super flow, boot room to dump stuff, laundry room, large heart of the home kitchen, light spacious rooms but with a cosy atmosphere, immediate access to a south facing garden from the kitchen and a plethora of nooks and crannies to sit in.
Hethersett is set at the foot of the Quantocks, surrounded by the most gorgeous, bucolic landscape, yet within easy access to all the South West has to offer. Above all, it is a very happy house. We shall miss it enormously.STEP INSIDE
As you walk through Hethersett, you experience a blend of character, charm, and modern living. The design emphasises spacious rooms bathed in natural light, a hallmark of the 1920s architectural style.
The hub of the home is the generous kitchen/dining/family room with range of kitchen units, oil fired Aga, walk in larder and room for dining table and a sofa to relax in.
A handy boot room opens onto the rear gardens with cloakroom off. A snug that overlooks the kitchen leads to the beautiful sitting room with multiple windows overlooking gardens and countryside views. A wood burner is a welcome addition on colder days.
A library/games room along with a study / fifth bedroom ensures there is no shortage of living space.
In addition, on the ground floor are the two large principle bedrooms each with two windows overlooking the gardens. Between them is the large shower room with walk in shower enclosure
Two further bedrooms are located on the first floor one with balcony overlooking the countryside along with a lovely family bathroom with views across the fields.
As these rooms are in the roof space there is some restricted head heights.
Hethersett sits in grounds of just over one acre of level gardens that fully embrace the beautiful location, offering far-reaching views of the Quantock Hills and surrounding countryside. The open aspect ensures the garden enjoys sunlight throughout the day. A driveway provides ample parking, and two large timber workshops/sheds offer storage equivalent to at least two garages.
Level gardens wrap around the property, featuring an abundance of well-stocked flower borders. A large patio with a veranda and gazebo on a lower garden level take advantage of the afternoon and evening sun, with an area set aside for wildflowers and views across the adjoining fields. A five-bar gate opens onto the rear garden, formerly a lawn tennis court, (which could easily be reinstated) beside an enclosed vegetable area with a greenhouse and one of the sheds/workshops equipped with power and lighting. At the far end of the garden is an orchard with apple, plum, pear, fig, and apricot trees. Beyond this is the second large shed, which could be repurposed for a variety of uses.
