A fantastic and sizeable cottage with four beautiful bedrooms including a very large principal bedroom, not listed, with a delightful garden and far-reaching views.

THE PROPERTY
Situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Wayford, first glimpses of The Hurst are most impressive with its most attractive facade constructed of local stone and brick under a pitched tiled roof.

This wonderful property, which is not listed, was formerly the schoolhouse and prior to this was two separate cottages. The property has been very carefully looked after and lovingly cared for over the years, and is now a wonderful family home offering very flexible accommodation, yet totally untainted by inappropriate modernisation.

On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm and space with many rooms worth a special mention, including a very good-sized sitting room with a large open inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove. There is also a pretty window seat and views over the delightful garden.

The family kitchen is a very good size with plenty of room for a kitchen/breakfast table, and incorporating a range of attractive wooden wall and base units and an Aga (green). Alongside the kitchen is a large dining room and beyond this another sitting room/library with a central fireplace.

The bedrooms are situated on the first floor, with four beautiful bedrooms including a truly exceptional principal bedroom with high ceilings, exposed wooden beams and far-reaching countryside views. This room is quite simply 'as good as it gets'. There is one separate shower room and a family bathroom.

The delightful gardens lie to the rear of the property with a lawned area and well-stocked borders, paved terrace ideal for al fresco dining, ample parking, a double garage and a large garden.

All in all, this is a truly wonderful property in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
