SOLD STC BY ORCHARDS ESTATES - Phelips Court, the original name of this exclusive setting of 16 homes was initially planned and designed as an Over-55s residential haven with the homes having been designed to offer generous interior space and a maintained central community garden. A rare find indeed across the areas we cover of South Somerset and West Dorset these homes ideally cater to the more mature buyer who is used to generous room sizes and comfortable, modern amenities in a friendly, neighbourly setting. Situated in a more secluded position, the property offers views out across agricultural fields which are owned and maintained by Castle Farm. This individual property has been be designed to be an open plan to create a light living space across the rear which incorporates the living room and kitchen to create a great space for family friends and entertaining.

Approach
An attractive mix of warm Hamstone and complimentary render finish with stylish dark wood columns and fascia set back over a tidy front garden with paved walkway welcomes you to this detached home situated to the edge of this charming community oriented setting within Westmead Close. Immediately to the side of the property is the parking area which in turn provides direct access to the garage.
Entrance Hallway
The entrance truly sets the scene for this fine residence. The hall features a staircase to the left and boasts a double-height ceiling, enhanced by two Velux-type windows inset into the roof and a smaller window overlooking the stairwell. This design floods the space with natural light, creating an immediate feeling of light and openness. Adjacent to the stairs, a spacious storage cupboard maximizes the available space, ingeniously doubling back under the stairs for even more convenient, out-of-sight storage.
Kitchen
The fully fitted Shaker-style kitchen in a neutral shade is a standout feature of this home, combining modern convenience with classic design. It boasts a sleek hob and built-in oven, granite countertops, and a large, double-glazed window that overlooks the private rear garden, providing the space with natural light. This kitchen exemplifies thoughtful design, offering a perfect blend of functionality and elegance. This space has been designed to create a flow through to the very large sitting room and make this a great open space.
Living Room
This is a great space, with plenty of room to accommodate large furniture items without feeling crowded and benefits from the full width folding doors opening out to your private garden, creating what I would call a 'San Pedro villa" style of space which extends the living area to the garden with a step-in, step-out capacity.
Utility/Laundry
A very practical and handy space connecting directly from the driveway to the inner hallway, benefitting from storage and providing space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, along with a sink, a great addition for keener gardeners.
Guest Room
With practical forward thinking this room offers a range of uses. Currently configured as a guest bedroom, it would also work very well as a secondary reception room and one resident has turned this into a sunny morning reading room.
Jack and Jill Bathroom
Again, forward thinking, this room has had a 2nd door created to provide direct access to the guest room. Well appointed and fully fitted double shower room with vanity units, recessed lighting and storage areas as well as WC and wash hand basin.
Landing
Split level stairs from the entrance hall lead to a spacious landing with banister which benefits from 2 Velux style windows.
Principle Bedroom
This is a very spacious light airy room, with a walk-in wardrobe and a super sized en-suite. The large windows over look the rear garden and out across agricultural fields.
Principle En-suite
Fully tiled in a tasteful finish which is warm and practical. An initial walk-in shower provides practical day-to-day usage. A full-sized bath ensures you have a beautiful personal space to soak away the day.
Bedroom Two
Another large double, with newly fitted wardrobes and comes with the benefit of its own private en-suite, with window over looking the front garden.
Bedroom Two En-suite
A great companion to the 2nd bedroom, this is a spacious and light room with a large shower unit.
Garden
A private space which has been set down to a patio area, with raised beds which has been designed to be low maintenance. The owner wanted to create a personal space with the emphasis on enjoying rather than continual maintenance. Access can be from the folding doors off the living room or there is a personal side access gate from the driveway.
Parking
Situated to the side of this property is your private parking space which is situated directly in front of the garage. There is further communal, guest parking for visitors within the maintained grounds.
Garage
Situated to the side of the property, the garage is a great space, wide enough for a modern vehicle, high with pitched roof for extra loft storage space, with light and electric power points. There is a personal door opening directly to the garden. A large up-and-over door provides vehicle access.
