DESCRIPTION

A three double bedroom country cottage set within the heart of the ever popular village of Westbury Sub Mendip with a walled West facing garden and detached Forge within the grounds. The property has been within the same family ownership since it was originally built in the 1970's, in the last 10 years, doors, windows and boiler have been replaced but the house still offers scope to modernise and improve further. 

Upon entering the house is a light and spacious entrance hall with a downstairs w/c and space for shoes and coats. On the ground floor are two double bedrooms, both with vanity sink units and with views looking over the front courtyard. Stairs lead to a central landing within the house with a door going out to the gardens, a utility room with storage, plumbing for white goods and the boiler along with a well proportioned sitting room. The sitting room benefits from a dual aspect view over the gardens along with French doors providing access. The focal point of the room is an open fire with stone surround. Steps from the sitting room lead to the dining room, a splendid room with space for a large dining table, views to the front towards the Mendip Hills and offering potential to be knocked through into the kitchen if desired. The kitchen is the original from new and could require some updating, it also has a view to the Mendip Hills and currently comprises a range of units, plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a freestanding cooker. On this level is the main family bathroom and principle bedroom. The bathroom features a bath with shower above, toilet and wash hand basin whilst the large bedroom features a wall of fitted wardrobes and ample space to fit an ensuite if needed.
