Shells cottage is located in delightful semi rural setting at the foot of the Brendon Hills between the villages of Washford and Williton and within 2 miles of the coast at the Historic Port of Watchet.

The property was formally a pair of farm workers cottages which we believe were converted into a single dwelling in the mid 1970s. In more recent times the cottage has been sympathetically renovated and improved has leaded light effect windows, LPG fired central heating and stands on the edge of a small select holiday park adjoining open farmland and is set in large surrounding gardens with parking.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and in brief comprises; entrance hall with cloakroom, a 31ft double aspect sitting/dining room with exposed beams and timbers, fireplace with log burner, library area and doors to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is again a double aspect room fitted with an excellent range of base and wall units with granite working surfaces, deep Belfast style sink, range cooker with splashback and extractor canopy over, dishwasher, slate flooring and door to outside. There is also a separate utility room, freezer room and ground floor bedroom/study. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room.

LOCATION
The village of Washford is within a mile and has a primary school, village hall, inn, post office, hairdressers and a station on the West Somerset Steam Railway Line. The Historic Port of Watchet with its marina is around 2 miles, a similar distance from Williton which has a good range of everyday amenities and the West Somerset's premier coastal resort of Minehead which offers an excellent range of shopping, banking and recreational facilities is approximately six miles. The County town of Taunton which has mainline rail connections and access to the motorway network is approximately 18 miles and for those who enjoy exploring the countryside the Brendon, Quantock and Exmoor Hills the coast and many renowned beauty spots of the area are all close at hand.
