A rare opportunity to purchase a five-bedroom detached house on Dancing Lane, a sought-after-location on the outskirts of Wincanton, with a private driveway and garage. A beautiful family home that has not been on the market for over twenty-five years. This imposing property sits within a third of an acre with attractive mullion windows, a large gallery kitchen with breakfast bar, dining room, sitting room, utility room, conservatory and large rear garden. Ideally located a stone’s throw away from King Arthurs Secondary school and Wincanton leisure centre and within walking distance of the town’s amenities and recreation ground.
Entering the property via a covered storm porch, the hallway with original wooden flooring underfoot, provides access to the first floor, an understairs cupboard with lighting, cloakroom with WC, sitting room and kitchen. The bright and spacious dual aspect sitting room enjoys an attractive fireplace with gas fire as a focal point, with wooden concertina doors through to the dining room making this a wonderful family space. Sliding doors from the dining room lead into the conservatory, with tiled flooring, electricity, lighting, heating, fitted blinds to all windows and access into the garden. The spacious kitchen overlooks the garden and is fitted with cream shaker style wall and base units, a breakfast bar, stainless-steel 1½ bowl sink with drainer, fridge, dishwasher and single oven with Neff 5-ring gas hob and extractor over. A door leads through to the utility room which provides ample space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher with additional worktop space, large sink and drainer, tall cupboard for an ironing board and vacuum cleaner and doors to both the garden and garage.
From the hallway, a T-shaped staircase leads to the first floor. A single room to the right with Velux window overlooking the garden, is currently used as a study with access to the eaves, providing storage above the garage. To the left, a long landing provides access to the family bathroom and four further bedrooms. A single bedroom at the front is fitted with a built-in wardrobe. The modern tiled family bathroom with obscured window, is fitted with a large bath with traditional Victorian bath shower mixer tap and handset, stainless-steel heated towel rail, spacious shower and vanity unit with built-in cupboards, WC and sink. Three further double bedrooms, all with large built-in wardrobes provide ample storage with those at the rear of the property enjoying fabulous views across the garden and fields beyond.
The Outside
Entering the driveway from Dancing Lane, a raised stone border on the right is planted with shrubs and ornamental grasses. A decorative white metal gate provides access to two bin/storage sheds at the right side of the property and to the rear garden. The driveway itself provides ample private parking for numerous cars and is bordered by tall hedging with open access to the rear garden and a pathway with steps to the patio. The large garage, with up and over door, is fitted with a workbench, electricity and lighting.
The private rear garden is a fabulous feature of this property and provides a secluded sanctuary with established shrub borders and a large, tiered, paved patio with wooden pergola providing a fantastic space for outside entertaining. Laid to lawn, the garden has the benefit of both a brick and wooden shed, tucked out of sight behind a tall hedge at the rear and outside tap.
Don’t miss the opportunity to make this beautiful property your new home.
