Healey House presents a unique opportunity for renovation or investment, situated on an elevated plot of approximately 0.25 acres that offers stunning views of the surrounding Somerset countryside. This period home boasts a classic natural stone exterior crowned with a red terracotta tiled roof, characterized by traditional sash windows and stone window surrounds that enhance its charming façade.
The property features a well-maintained garden and convenient driveway parking for multiple vehicles, along with a detached garage that includes an adjoining workshop and covered open store. The outdoor space provides ample scope for landscaping or expansion, making it a perfect canvas for those looking to enhance its appeal.
Inside, the spacious dining hall is the focal point of the ground floor, featuring a main staircase and access to both the kitchen and sitting room. The sitting room benefits from dual aspects, with large southeast-facing sash windows that bring in plenty of natural light. A Bath stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove adds character to this inviting space, while bespoke built-in cabinetry contributes functionality. Beyond the sitting room lies the family room—with exposed stonework and ceiling beams—leading seamlessly into the conservatory that overlooks the expansive garden.
The traditional galley-style kitchen retains its original charm but also presents opportunities for modernization. Adjacent is an unexpectedly large utility room with enough space for a breakfast table, complemented by a walk-in pantry and cloakroom/WC.
Upstairs comprises four well-proportioned double bedrooms that enjoy attractive rural views. The master bedroom offers an advantageous elevated aspect, while the family bathroom includes a corner bath. An additional walk-through study provides versatile options; it could easily serve as a dressing area or nursery, or potentially be converted into another bathroom after obtaining necessary consents.
It is important to note that recent assessments have identified subsidence issues associated with the property. As such, financing options may be challenging; however, detailed reports are available for review to outline potential remedies and considerations for restoration.
Located in Hemington—a small village surrounded by picturesque countryside—this home offers proximity to key transport links between Bath and Bristol, as well as access to excellent local amenities including schools and shopping options. With private schools nearby and recreational opportunities at Babington House country club and Orchardleigh Estate golf course just minutes away, this property not only promises tranquility but also significant potential for appreciation through thoughtful renovation efforts.
