This week's property of the week, being sold by award-winning agents Sam Chivers, is a rural village cottage with lots of character and a surprising amount of space.

Not least a south facing and long long garden.

This week there are two properties of the week, tucked away and next door to each other in a quiet and sunny corner but close to a popular local school.

These freshly renovated terraced cottages enjoy a quiet position with far-reaching views and windows across the valley.

This week's property has a look that is totally unique to Midsomer Norton - little wonder then that only two properties on the site are still available.

Exceptional and individual are two words that come to mind when describing this exclusive and important development, which has never been seen before in the town.

The local award-winning property agents Sam Chivers is reporting a big demand for homes and can get up to 15 viewing requests to any one of their properties.

The UK is experiencing a property boom at the moment - with some research showing prices rising at their fastest pace in five years - and the Somer Valley is proving particularly attractive.

What to do when you leave school has never been more important - and increasingly the decision of what to do next is a really big deal.

So local family-run company Sam Chivers are really pleased that they were able to offer the chance of a new profession for a keen new recruit via an apprenticeship scheme.

Sam Chivers Estate Agents have just won The British Property Award for Radstock.

Their team performed outstandingly throughout the extensive judging

As a sign of the heat in the property market, all these local properties were snapped up in seven days.

The four, priced from £210,000- £465,000, and marketed by local and Gold-award winning agents Sam Chivers, were sold in less than a week.

Property of the week this week is actually two homes, in one smart and central retirement living complex, right in the heart of Midsomer.

The first is a sought after two-bedroom terrace home located in the select over 55's retirement development, which means it is both safe and private.

This week's property of the week is all about space, which means potential.

This three bedroom semi detached home has been subject to a double storey extension to the rear and occupies a large plot with so much potential.
