The Property
Presented for sale in good order throughout including secondary glazing and mains gas underfloor heating, the property provides a great lower-maintenance living space for those buyers looking for good proportions and a sense of grandeur without the fuss of too much too look after.

The double entrance doors to No.16 give you an idea of the spaciousness of the entrance hall beyond. There's plenty of room for a welcoming chair or nice piece of furniture, or even room to use this as a study space perhaps. There are lovely high ceilings adding to the sense of space and light floods in through the semi-circular high-level window. Under the stairs is ample storage for coats etc, whilst there is also a downstairs WC housing the gas central heating boiler. The kitchen / breakfast room is nicely fitted with modern units including stainless steel gas oven and hob, and space and plumbing for both washing machine and dishwasher. A large secondary glazed window with deep window sill overlooks the central courtyard and is a good spot for a table and chairs. Recessed downlighters to the ceiling give a more contemporary look to the lighting.

The living room extends across the rear of the property and one end has a cosier feel with attractive floor to ceiling bookcases and storage cupboards. There is ample room for a large dining table and chairs, and French doors open onto a rear courtyard where there is room for a bistro set and pretty pots if you still want some outside space of your own to tend.

On the first floor a spacious landing leads to a beautifully appointed bathroom which has a luxurious feel with fully tiled walls in a travertine effect ceramic, double ended bath with central taps and shower handset, spacious separate shower cubicle with mains shower, large vanity wash hand basin and chrome ladder style towel rail / radiator. Both the larger bedrooms are of a very good size, one with vanity wash hand basin and laundry cupboard overlooking the central quadrangle, and the other at the rear with bespoke fitted wardrobes and storage cupboards. Also at the rear is a further single bedroom.

Outside
The property is accessed from the village lane via a private road, leading to a communal parking area with space for visitors and residents. Adjacent to this is a communal storage area for bins etc. The property owns a single garage with up and over door located in a block next to Brettingham Court, whilst an archway leads through to the main central courtyard and the front of the property.

Brettingham Court was originally part of the 18th century kitchen courtyard to Hinton House, designed by Matthew Brettingham and remodelled at the turn of the 19th century by Sir John Soane to create a stableyard. During the 20th century the quadrangle of properties were converted into mews style residences around an attractive central courtyard, approached through an impressive archway giving a lovely first impression.

The property lies within walking distance of the beautiful village centre. Hinton St George is generally regarded as one of the most sought-after and attractive villages in South Somerset. It consists primarily of period houses and cottages, built using the local stone - renowned for its mellow colour and visual appeal. The village centre is a real gem and much of it is designated a Conservation Area. The village is peaceful and carries no through traffic of any significance. There is a pub, excellent village shop, tea rooms, pre-school and first school and an active 14th century church.

The village enjoys an accessible position with good road links to the A303 within c. 10 minutes' drive, and the M5 at Taunton within c.30 minutes' drive. It also lies within a short drive of the thriving market town of Ilminster with its pretty independent stores, great facilities and Minster Church, whilst closer to home the town of Crewkerne boasts a mainline station (London Waterloo – Exeter) and Waitrose supermarket.
