A HOME IN THE COUNTRY
Spring Cottage is an attractive cement rendered stone built cottage with a pantile roof originally formed from a conversion of two former farm workers cottages into one with a more recent extension on the western side. A substantial family home in a very pleasant position.

On the ground floor is an entrance porch, two good size reception rooms, one of which has a stone fireplace with a wood burning stove, there is a well fitted kitchen with built in appliances, a utility area and ground floor cloakroom/wc. The first floor has three good size bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room, the others being served by a modern family bathroom.

The south facing cottage is well set back from Durcott Lane with a gravelled parking bay on the opposite side of the lane allowing off street parking for 3-4 vehicles. There are pleasant surrounding gardens, a delightful walled cottage style front garden and a terraced garden at the rear which provides immediate access to the local footpath network via the Limestone Link.

In addition there is a further good size plot of land a short distance along on the southern side of the lane which provides an area of grass and vegetable plot with an aluminium framed greenhouse and a single garage.

Durcott Lane is a sought after position in the Cam Valley linking Camerton and Radford. Camerton is a traditional village community with local facilities including a church, village hall and playing fields. The villages of Timsbury and Peasedown St John are close by providing day to day shopping facilities as well as sporting and recreational opportunities. Camerton is well placed to commute to the Cities of Bristol, Bath and Wells as well as the Towns of Shepton Mallet, Frome, Radstock, Midsomer Norton and Keynsham.
