A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a four-bedroom property set in the highly desirable village of Chewton Mendip. Spring Cottage is a Grade 2 listed south facing country cottage set in the heart of the village and is renowned for its white flowering wisteria on the front of the property. The interior is presented to a high standard with an array of character features, and benefits from a beautiful and private rear garden.

Leading off the entrance porch are two reception rooms. To the right, the spacious sitting room features exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with woodburner, and a (non-working) bread oven. Double doors open onto the dining area, with table space for 6-8 people, and windows overlooking the garden. The second reception room is currently being used as an office and sitting room and features exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and a further woodburner, and a large area for the storage of coats and shoes which can be conveniently accessed from the entrance porch.
The bright kitchen features a double Belfast sink with wooden worktops and dishwasher to the right, and a double Rangemaster, fitted units, and wooden and granite worktops to the left. A separate utility room has plumbing for washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge-freezer, a large walk-in cupboard/pantry, and a WC and sink.

The first floor comprises four bedrooms and a good-sized family bathroom. The principal bedroom extends the width of the house and benefits from exposed beams, an en-suite shower room, and three windows which overlook the garden. The second double features a large integrated wardrobe, tertiary glazing and exposed beams. The additional two bedrooms have space for double beds and the larger benefits from a fitted wardrobe. Fitted cupboards and bookshelves on the first floor provide extra storage.

Access to the sunny garden is via the kitchen. A good-sized lawn leads down to a pretty stream and well-established trees, and the garden contains an array of mature shrubs, roses, elderflower, ceanothus and raised flower beds. A paved area outside the kitchen is perfect for alfresco dining and leads to two stone outbuildings, one of which is fitted with strip lighting, electrical sockets and the gas boiler. A large wooden outbuilding further down the garden is used for the storage of bikes, garden furniture and lawnmowers.

Street parking is located directly opposite the front door, where the current owner parks up to three cars. The property is on mains gas and has a septic tank.
