HAZELDENE, DITCHEAT, SHEPTON MALLET BA4 6RB

About the Area
Ditcheat is a very popular and ancient village (mentioned in the Doomsday Book as belonging to Glastonbury Abbey) 10 miles south of Wells and 3 miles north of Castle Cary with its main line service to London. These and the other nearby towns of Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet and Street all offer ample facilities. The village has a primary school, church, a very good pub and restaurant and Paul Nicholls racing stables being the home of Kauto Star and Denman (in fact the owner of Hazeldene mentioned the horses trotting through the village are the noisiest thing they hear.)There are good state and independent schools in the area including Ditcheat and other primary schools, Crispins, St. Dunstans, Millfield, All Hallows and the Bruton and Sherborne schools.

*
Ditcheat has the benefit of being very accessible but is not on a "short cut" road and it has very little traffic. Hazeldene is in the heart of the village tucked away with access off a quiet side lane and standing back behind high hedges. The drive leads into a large gravelled courtyard with parking for at least five cars.

The accommodation is spacious, well presented and has gas central heating. The front door opens into a hall with a staircase, under stairs cupboard and a cloakroom with wall tiling, hand basin and wc.

A wide archway opens into the breakfast room which has doors back to the hall and into a side porch/bootroom with a door directly into the garden. At the rear of the hall is a utility room with the gas boiler, worktop and space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.

The master bedroom has a large en suite bathroom with a hand basin with cupboard below, wc and a jacuzzi bath with a separate shower above and a shower screen.

Gardens
In front of the house is the large gravelled parking area and to the side is a garage (with power and light). There's also a good size lawned garden. Immediately at the back of the house and approached by french doors from the dining room is a paved terrace and beyond is a lawned garden with mature trees and shrubs, a chicken house and run, a greenhouse, a garden shed with power and a further paved area sheltered by a horse chestnut tree with a timber tree house.All in all this is a very pleasing house in an idyllic country village.
