The village has a church, primary school, several pubs and an active friendly community centered around the village hall.No 21 stands alongside Station Road which is a quiet country lane with very little traffic. The lane continues across the moor to the village of Meare. The house has an elevated position on the Polden Hills with wonderful views over the beautiful surrounding countryside. Just a couple of miles further north are two extensive nature reserves.

Description
Originally a cottage the property has been extended and improved over the years and is now a welcoming and comfortable home. The spacious accommodation retains many original details including stonewalls and beams. These are complemented by central heating and the Aga which gives the kitchen a traditional homely feel. Other noteworthy points are the engineered oak floorboards and bespoke oak staircase in the entrance hall which set the tone for the remainder of the house.The front door is located under a covered porch and opens to the welcoming oak floored hallway which leads to the 24 ft. dining room. This opens into the lovely, sunny sitting room with a multifuel stove, lots of windows plus double French doors to the garden.

*
The kitchen has a range of cream shaker style units, dark granite worksurface, a double sink, electric cooker and hob, dishwasher and space for a kitchen table. This makes this an eat-in kitchen with plenty of work surface. The adjacent ancillary pantry provides ample storage and space for a large fridge and freezer, finished to the same high standard as the kitchen.Also approached from the hall is a cloakroom (loo and basin) and a utility/boot room. This has a door to the garden, hanging space for coats, a Belfast sink, dark granite worksurface and space for separate tumble dryer and washing machine.

One is currently used as a study and has magnificent views to the Mendips.The family bathroom is a good size and has both a large shower and a bath.A door on the landing opens to stairs that lead to a large, versatile attic room which has an extremely high apex.

Double wooden gates open to the gravel driveway, bordered by low stone retaining walls and pretty, planted flower beds. The gravel drive leads to the back of the house where there is a large garage adjacent to a stone built shed which houses, amongst other things, the oil tank. A mature fig tree grows next to the house. Wisteria, honeysuckle, clematis, a vine and jasmine climb on the pergola over the terrace at the top of the garden. A combination of lawn and joyous beds, that are a riot of colour, connect to the lower garden which has a variety of fruit trees. The well-maintained kitchen garden is located at the front of the house behind the front stone wall.

About the area
Ashcott is located midway between Glastonbury and Bridgwater providing excellent connectivity to the M5 and Taunton.Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It's been a religious centre from the times of legends. A Celtic monastery evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and is now a thriving market town and a major tourist venue. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey. Castle Cary is another delightful and historic town which lies to the east, and which has a main line train station to London. There are amenities in the surrounding towns to suit most needs and excellent state and independent schools including Strode College, Millfield, Wells, Cathedral, Hazelgrove, All Hallows, Downside, Sherborne and the Bruton schools.

Directions
Entering Ashcott from Street take a right turn and approach the Church. Continue past the Church, take the first left and at the junction turn right onto Station Road.Continue for about half a mile and No 21 is on the left-hand side being the right side half of a pair of semi-detached houses.

Places of interest

    About Us Roderick Thomas is an entirely independent firm with decade of experience selling and letting residential property. The firm has offices in Bristol (Clifton), Wells, Wedmore and Castle Cary and with its networked associate office in London covers a wide geographical area. The focus is to deliver a high level of service to clients to achieve the best sale or rental possible within a set timescale. The importance of wide spread advertising and effective marketing is recognised and with each property an individual campaign is planned. Having attracted buyers the next stage is negotiation and the firm prides itself on securing an agreement on the best terms and then progressing the sale to completion.  Ongoing discussion with all parties including solicitors ensures an agreed timetable is maintained and hitches are anticipated when possible and addressed with action taken if necessary. Focusing fully on sales and letting and not being burdened with “head office” costs Roderick Thomas is able to offer highly competitive commission rates on all agency terms. These include: Sales SOLE AGENCY – one agent is instructed to sell a property and commission is paid to the agent on completion of the sale. JOINT AGENCY – two (occasionally more) agents are instructed.  They work in conjunction and share the commission on completion.  The rate is usually higher than the sole agency. MULTI AGENCY – two (or occasionally more) agents are instructed.  They work in competition and only the agent who sells receives a commission on completion.  Again this is usually at a higher rate then sole agency (but not always). All prospective sellers are invited to contact Roderick Thomas to discuss the sale of any property.
