The present owners purchased the property in 1983 and have since carried out a number of improvements including building a two-storey extension to the west, facing south, to accommodate a utility room, sunroom and double garage with the principal bedroom suite above. In more recent years the kitchen has been replaced and integrated appliances include oven and hob, dishwasher and refrigerator. The original dresser in the breakfast area has been retained.
From the impressive reception hall, you can access both the sitting room and the dining room. Each has a Minster fireplace with open fire and French doors from both rooms open to the south facing veranda. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen/breakfast room and a sunroom which opens to a stone terrace with lovely views of the garden and the Mendips.
On the first floor all bedrooms have superb views to the Mendip Hills. The spacious principal bedroom, which faces south and west, has fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathroom (as does Bedroom 3).
Long Cottage is approached over a sweeping drive giving access to an integral double garage with electric up and over door and continues to a parking area in front of the house. Besides the garage on the west side, there is a detached timber garage with an adjoining garden store. It sits almost centrally in its established garden and is set well back from the lane. The front garden has tall dense hedgerow providing privacy and many tall trees including Fir. There are ornamental shrubs including Wisteria interspersing a large expanse of shaped lawn with stone edging.
The rear south facing garden is very private. Along the rear elevation there is a covered veranda and a stone terrace, both providing excellent areas for entertaining. There is a large area of lawn, with mature trees including a Magnolia and borders planted with a variety of ornamental shrubs. A good-sized secluded kitchen garden includes a soft fruit area and a small mixed orchard. The garden is one of the standout features of the property and is immaculately presented.
