Fordswater Cottage lies in an elevated and quiet position looking out over the Stourhead Western Estate. The cottage has been completely refurbished by the current owners and has green sandstone and rendered elevations under a clay tiled roof. In addition, it has a useful stone and clay tiled garage which subject to planning, could provide further accommodation if required. Internally the cottage is in excellent condition with attributes including pine floorboards in the dining room, English oak floorboards in the sitting room and attractive African slate flooring in the remainder of the downstairs. The sitting room is nicely proportioned with an impressive inglenook fireplace with woodburner. It has beamed ceilings throughout. There is planning consent (application no S/2008/60) to create a second ensuite bathroom to bedroom two.
The house is approached from the lane onto a gravelled area adjoining which is the insulated garage with light and power and a water supply. The cottage’s front elevation is clad with cotoneaster and pyracantha and at the rear with a climbing rose and honeysuckle. The majority of the garden lies to the rear, with a gravelled terrace extending the full length of the rear facade with steps down to the lawn. There are a number of well stocked flower and shrub borders with a mature bramley apple tree; the garden is stocked with a variety of flowering plants and shrubs including evening primrose, phlox, and potentilla providing both colour all year round and a wonderful setting for the cottage.

Fordswater Cottage is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the small hamlet of White Cross, about 1.5 miles from Zeals and overlooks ancient woodland on the Stourhead Western Estate. The nearby village of Bourton and Zeals each have a Post Office/Store and two public houses. Nearby Bruton is a fashionable and popular town in the heart of the Somerset countryside which has several well-known restaurants, pubs and bars including Osip, At The Chapel, The Roth Bar and Grill at the world-renowned Hauser & Wirth Gallery and is close to The Newt in Somerset. Gillingham can provide for most everyday needs and has a Waitrose and a mainline railway station (London Waterloo). For more sophisticated requirements there is the cathedral city of Salisbury to the east and Bath to the north.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on August 22, 2023

Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 22, 2023

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
