Frogmore Farm, Lopenhead, South Petherton, TA13 5JH

This detached period property sits in a plot of just under half an acre, and requires refurbishment throughout, offering a great deal of potential for those looking for a privately situated home with scope for multi-generational living space or to work from home.

The Property Now in need of refurbishment throughout, this sizeable period property enjoys a private position with no near neighbours and is well placed for excellent road links via the A303 at South Petherton.

Adjoining open fields, it is not far from a range of local facilities and lies within a short drive of both South Petherton, Ilminster and Crewkerne.

The property has good proportions on both floors and a remodelling of the accommodation could well incorporate scope for single level living if required, or creation of an annexe, as the property has two staircases.

Accommodation An initial entrance lobby opens through to a smaller reception room perfect as a snug, to one side.

Across from here, a further reception room includes the first of two staircases which in turn provides independent access to three of the first floor bedrooms.

A spacious dual-aspect kitchen / breakfast room has views across the front garden and the fields at the rear. There is an adjoining inner hall with ground floor bathroom.

A well-proportioned sitting room opens onto the front garden via french doors and includes a woodburning stove and a second staircase leads up to the master bedroom.

Beyond the sitting room a downstairs home office / study space also includes the oil fired boiler for the central heating system, with a further store / office space beyond.

The spacious master bedroom enjoys views over the fields at the rear, and has an ensuite shower room as well as built in wardrobes. The second bedroom also has an en suite WC.

The two further first floor rooms both have pleasant views and can be served by the ground floor bathroom.

Outside The property is approached via private gates onto its own driveway providing parking and access to the adjoining outbuilding of brick and timber construction.

Beyond the outbuilding is a good size garden / paddock area, narrowing to a point and bordered by mature trees and hedgerow. The garden to the front of the house enjoys a southerly aspect.
