3 bed detached house for sale

Mill House, Merriott Road, Lopen TA13

This stunning detached former mill house is located between the highly sought-after villages of Hinton St George and South Petherton and has recently undergone complete refurbishment. It offers spacious and light accommodation while retaining many original features. The property also includes modern conveniences and benefits from not being listed as a historic building. The house provides extensive off-road parking and boasts enclosed gardens.
An exciting feature of the property is the planning consent to extend above the kitchen. This would create a capacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, adding further value and comfort to the property.
Furthermore, the property is offered with no chain, making it an attractive option for buyers looking for a swift purchase. Given its desirability and potential, an early viewing is highly recommended to avoid missing out on this wonderful opportunity.

Two outside lights guide you as you step up to the impressively wide front door under storm canopy.

Living Space

A spacious hallway greets you as you enter over the blue lias flagstone flooring with staircase to the upper floor and doors opening to:

Sitting Room: Featuring flagstone flooring this room benefits from natural light with front and side aspect windows as well as a set of double glazed French doors opening to the rear garden. With a nice ceiling height and impressive fireplace adding to the charm.
The fireplace is open (this formed part of the rebuild of this wall) however it is not in use and would require a flue and liner.
