This stunning cottage is situated down a delightful, quiet country lane, within the highly sought after Somerset village of Ditcheat. Trap House is a beautiful cosy cottage, awash with character and history that dates back to 1790. The very inviting sage green front door opens into a welcoming, homely sitting room that boasts original and character features that include quarry tile flooring and exposed beams, whilst offering plenty of space for comfortable seating. To the rear, a stable door opens onto the delightful orangery, whilst a further antique door leads you through into a lovely light and spacious, wonderfully appointed kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen again offers fantastic character features with the original beams overhead, quarry tiling underfoot and exposed brickwork, whilst being complemented by an attractive farmhouse style range of fitted units, oak worktops and a butler sink. A large cream Rangemaster oven, integrated fridge/freezer, washer dryer and dishwasher complete the fitted kitchen appliances. In keeping with the style and period features of the cottage, the chimney breast has exposed brickwork and attractive tiling, whilst currently housing an electric woodburning stove. We understand that the chimney could be opened up to install a real stove if desired.
To the rear of the cottage and leading off from the sitting room, further exposed brickwork and quarry tiled flooring continues into the spacious orangery. From here, you can enjoy a pleasant outlook over the thoughtfully designed, pretty south facing garden, with large French doors opening out onto the courtyard, whilst there is ample space for a dining table also. The orangery is benefitted by the glazed overhead ceiling, allowing the light to flood into this fantastic addition, along with underfloor heating, making it the perfect spot to either entertain or relax .
Heading upstairs, there is a very useful storage cupboard on the landing, along with a view to the south aspect. A generous double bedroom offers exposed beams, and an outlook to the front down the country lane, whilst modern en-suite wash facilities include a large walk-in shower, fully complemented by sleek white metro tiles, a pedestal wash basin, w/c and fitted shelving.
Ditcheat is a very popular picturesque village, situated close to the market town of Bruton and well known as home to Paul Nicholls’s racing stables and Barber’s farmhouse cheese. It has a good farm shop, an excellent primary school and a well regarded local pub - the Manor Inn. This thriving village offers a fantastic sense of community, complemented by the village hall and parish church. Local shopping can be found in nearby Castle Cary and Bruton, home to the now famous Hauser and Wirth gallery and At the Chapel restaurant.
To the rear of the cottage, there is a well-designed, pretty south facing garden and patio. The cottage style courtyard garden is enclosed by mature beech hedging and original stone walling, whilst further offering raised beds and a selection of mature shrubs and flora. This is a truly tranquil hideaway within a peaceful setting.
