A 'picture perfect' 17th Century cottage situated in a sought after village on the Polden Hills. The deceptively spacious accommodation has been tastefully updated of late and additionally benefits from a garage, driveway and beautifully tended front and rear gardens. No onward chain.
ACCOMMODATION:
The property can be approached on foot via the front elevation through the stunning front garden, or from the rear where there is off-road parking, a garage and access through the back garden. The main front entrance is sheltered by a substantial porch and a wooden door with obscure glazing opens into the main living room. The generously proportioned light and airy living room has two southerly facing windows, exposed ceiling beams, a combination of quality wooden flooring and a carpeted living area with plenty of space for a wide range of seating and display furniture. The focal point of the room is an attractive fireplace with fitted log burning stove. Stairs rise to the first floor with storage cupboard beneath. The well-proportioned separate dining room provides plenty of space for entertaining and family dinners. A door opens from here to a small lobby area, where there is space and hanging for coats, and through to a dual purpose utility/cloakroom with a WC, pedestal wash basin and space for laundry appliances. There is also a bath that has been boxed in so could be repurposed as a downstairs bathroom if required. The kitchen, also of good proportions, features a pleasant aspect over back garden and a comprehensive range of solid wood cabinetry with work surfaces and tiled splash backs over, ceramic one and a half bowl drainer sink with mixer tap and a large airing cupboard housing the central heating boiler. Space and plumbing is available for a dishwasher, washing machine, tall fridge freezer and range style electric oven. The appliances in situ are available by negotiation.
On the first floor you'll discover a particularly spacious bathroom incorporating a dressing area and a large fitted airing cupboard. The traditional white suite suite comprises a flush WC, pedestal wash basin, bidet and corner shower cubicle with rain head style twin shower heads. The two bedrooms on this floor are naturally light and of good proportions, providing a comfortable space for a double bed and a range of accompanying furniture.
OUTSIDE:
At the front elevation a gate opens into a walled front garden with a central pathway framed by lawns and a vibrant display of mature flowers, shrubs and trees to each side. This not only creates fabulous kerb appeal to an already attractive cottage, but also provides a usable recreation space soaking up the sunny south facing aspect. Here there is also access to external storage in the form of two small outhouses and a wood store. A water supply and external power point is installed. The back garden can be accessed from the kitchen, which opens out on to a paved patio ideal for entertaining. Here there is an outside water supply and access to the oil tank. The remainder of the garden features a pathway winding through flower beds and an impressive display of potted plants, an excellent quality 'Eden' greenhouse and a calming water feature creating a wonderful ambience. A gate opens at the rear, to off-road parking for three vehicles and an attached garage with a remote roll up door. A further timber shed at the side of the garage provides useful additional storage space and there are further external power points installed. In our opinion this beautifully arranged space is every bit the traditional cottage garden that must be viewed to be appreciated.
