Formerly miners’ cottages, 1 Langleys Cottage is a lovely period property that has been in the current ownership for circa 50 years. During this time, the cottage has been very well maintained and updated and is wonderfully complemented by the beautiful rear gardens and panoramic countryside views.

The cottage is accessed via a very handy tiled porch to the front, ideal for those muddy boot days. This in turn leads into the dual-aspect lounge/diner, offering an outlook to the front and side, as well as a fitted log burner. The kitchen is located towards the rear of the house and has been well equipped with a range of wall, base and drawer units and granite effect work surfaces, as well as a one and a half bowl sink and drainer unit, with attractive tiling to both the walls and the floor. Like the lounge/diner, the kitchen is similarly dual aspect with windows to the rear and side aspect, whilst there is also a door which leads into the rear porch area.

On the first floor, there are two good size bedrooms with the main bedroom being particularly generous and enjoying an outlook to the front, with the second benefitting from a dual aspect to both the rear and side, as well as fitted storage. The family bathroom comprises a modern white suite including a double-width shower cubicle, vanity unit with inset wash basin and a W/C. The bathroom is finished with a ladder-style towel heater and white tiling to the walls.

The rural hamlet of Clapton is by no means isolated and provides excellent commuting possibilities to both Bristol and Bath. The nearby village of Chilcompton offers an enviable range of amenities with a shop and post office, public houses, primary school etc. Wells is approximately a 20 minute drive and is England's smallest city, renowned for The Cathedral and bustling High Street.

Approached from the front, there is a well stocked cottage style garden filled with a variety of mature plants and shrubs and neatly laid to slate chippings. Stone steps lead up to the front porch.

The garden to the rear has been extensively landscaped and includes a delightful and wide variety of flora, as well as unrestricted countryside views. The garden is broadly divided into different areas and in brief, includes an immediate courtyard where the oil tank is neatly hidden away within a painted store. Steps lead up to one of two well-maintained lawns, as well as a vegetable garden. In between, there is a large garage and workshop, as well as a carport, all of which can also be accessed independently via the lane to the side. The top level of the garden provides a large, well-managed lawn, a delightful summer house with power to enjoy the sunny days and pleasant evenings, as well as a further seating area and pond.
