Description
This newly refurbished period home has been imaginatively created from an historic building, once owned by Bristol Water and totally transformed by the current owners. The glorious peaceful setting and the breathtakingly beautiful countryside that surrounds the property creates an immediate sense of calm and the south facing views from the terrace toward Blagdon Lake are simply magnificent. Whether as a weekend retreat, a potential AirBNB or a home for downsizers, the cottage offers a great deal and with all building and restoration works completed, it is now ready for immediate vacant possession with no onward chain.
Approached via a gated entrance with parking for numerous vehicles, a small flight of steps leads up to a large area of sandstone terrace, which wraps around the property, beyond a decked viewing platform to a sheltered dining and BBQ area located immediately off the kitchen. The views from this area, across the fields to the distant hillsides are equally enticing.
The kitchen has a simple, understated charm, with a range of built in storage cupboards, Belfast sink and Smeg range cooker. It opens into the living room with wood burning stove to one end and windows and a stable door opening to the front terrace. The downstairs cloakroom features an attractive Blue Lias stone floor.
On the first floor, both bedrooms are doubles and all of the new double glazed windows enjoy lovely aspects, whether to the rear gardens or toward the lake. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a walk in shower and a deep Victorian style free standing bath with ‘claw’ feet. The property is centrally heated throughout with newly installed oil fired Worcester combination boiler discreetly tucked away to the side of the property.
From the entertaining terrace, steps lead down past a neatly planted herbaceous bed beyond which a tiered and gently sloping lawn winds down the hillside, past productive fruit trees , enjoying total privacy. Looking back at the property, a pair of specimen Yew trees beautifully frame the cottage. Without doubt, a truly unique home!
