Over Stratton, South Petherton

An exceptionally rare opportunity to create an individually tailored home with the help of an award winning team in an idyllic and most enviable location

Orchard Linhay offers a rare opportunity to create a bespoke home tailored to your lifestyle and tastes, with the help and comfort of an award winning team with an incredible track record of creating exceptional bespoke family homes.

The property which can include up to 1.4 acres, or a smaller 0.4-acre plot if preferred, is tucked away in an idyllic and truly magical location and very much the envy of this most sought after village. Depending on the final specification, the completed home is expected to be worth considerably more than the building cost. Through a custom-build arrangement with an established construction company, it could be delivered to an incredibly high standard (please phone agent for costings), with a huge amount of flair and attention to detail taking full advantage of the fantastic location.

Buyers can shape every aspect of the home, from the layout and kitchen design to bathroom finishes, joinery, flooring and décor. The result will be a distinctive property designed around its owner, not a standard developer-built home.

The proposed design blends traditional Somerset materials with contemporary detailing. Locally quarried Hanstone, horizontal oak cladding, feature glazing and a clay-tiled roof create a timeless yet modern exterior. Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area centres around a large island and opens directly onto landscaped terraces and gardens.

Current plans include a striking entrance hall with a floating staircase and full-height glazing, a spacious living room with a wood-burning stove, study, pantry, utility room and integrated garage. Upstairs, there is a luxurious principal suite with elevated countryside views, three further double bedrooms and well-appointed bathrooms. Again the design remains flexible and can be adapted to suit the buyer's ideas and requirements. All in all this is an incredible opportunity and well worth a visit!

LOCATION
This part of south Somerset is rightly regarded as some of the finest in the south west, as the undulating hills and valleys give way to the wilder, and more dramatic scenery of west Dorset and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast to the south. Over Stratton is a picturesque village with an active community, with the popular New Inn public house and New Farm Cafe & B&B, an active village hall hosting various community activities including a children’s nursery. Within close proximity is the large village of South Petherton, just over a mile away, with a good range of local amenities including The Brewers Arms Public House, HOLM restaurant, shops, post office, pre-school & infant and junior schools, medical centre and community hospital, and veterinary surgery. The fine market towns of Crewkerne and Ilminster are both within approx. 10 minute drive and have a good range of high street and independent shops, supermarkets including Waitrose and Tesco, cafes, restaurants and pubs and leisure facilities including a leisure centre and swimming pool in Crewkerne. The larger commercial town of Yeovil is just 10 miles away with several large 'superstore' supermarkets, out of town retail parks, leisure facilities including theatre, cinema, bowling and leisure centre with swimming pools and a large hospital. Transport links are good, with the A303 in close proximity and a mainline station in Crewkerne offering rail links with London (Waterloo) and Exeter. The M5 (J25) can be joined at Taunton. Just a 40 minute drive away is the stunning Jurassic coastline with many pretty coastal villages and towns, including the elegant resort of Lyme Regis with its attractive Cobb harbour and beaches.
