A charming detached cottage in a wonderful rural, yet accessible location on The Blackdown Hills. Large farmhouse kitchen, 3 bedrooms, family bathroom, extensive parking, delightful gardens, 0.68 Acres, pond, EPC Band E.

Situation - Moor Cottage occupies a convenient country setting within The Blackdown Hills, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property is located just south of the village of Blagdon Hill and approximately a 10 minute drive from the A303, the M5 and Taunton town centre. Taunton, the County Town of Somerset has an excellent range of shopping facilities, schools both within the private and state sectors and a variety of sports facilities including The County Cricket Ground and Taunton Racecourse. Taunton also has a number of well-respected golf courses, with Taunton and Pickeridge Golf Club a short drive from the property. The Blackdown Hills are renowned for their network of footpaths and bridleways, including the newly created Hare path, providing miles of quiet and safe riding. Moor Cottage is easily accessible with a mainline rail service in Taunton and the road network providing easy access to the regional centres.

Description - Moor Cottage is a charming cottage, constructed of stone and rendered elevations beneath a slate roof. The property is situated with approximately 0.68 of an acre, surrounding the house and benefits from delightful gardens and grounds. The accommodation has been well maintained and benefits from full double glazing throughout.

Accommodation - An entrance porch leads to the front door and into the entrance hall. From the entrance hall, a door leads into the farmhouse style kitchen, which is centred upon an Aga, in a tiled recess. The kitchen is a dual aspect room, with double doors leading out into the front garden and a further door to the outside. Off the entrance hall there is the sitting room, again a dual aspect room, with a fitted bookcase to one elevation, oak flooring, an LPG wood burner and French doors leading out onto the garden. The sitting room has ample space for dining and is a wonderful room. On the first floor the property benefits from three bedrooms, all enjoying views south over the garden, and a family bathroom.

Outside - Moor Cottage is approached from a private drive, off the B3170, which leads to two parking areas, both of which provide easy access to the house. The gardens of Moor Cottage are a fine feature and comprise large expanses of lawn, dispersed with shrubs and mature trees and a delightful pond in the south east corner. There are ample paved areas to sit outside and enjoy the stunning location. The property is extremely private and secluded, yet allows a great deal of accessibility to major regional centres.

Services - Well water, mains electricity and private drainage.

Directions - Leave Taunton in a southerly direction, heading towards Trull and Blagdon Hill. Proceed through the village of Blagdon Hill and continue up the hill and around the sharp hairpin bends. Upon reaching a set of cross roads, turn right signposted to Wellington, where Moor Cottage can be identified on the left hand side after a few hundred metres.
