Property Description: Guide Price £280,000 - £290,000. The heart of this home is certainly the characterful cottage style kitchen with exposed beams and tiled floor, which is spacious enough for a standalone kitchen island and a dining table. The kitchen is fitted with units for plenty of storage and there is an integrated dishwasher, electric oven and induction hob. There is also space for a fridge freezer. Off the kitchen there are two large cupboards, one for storage and the other has plumbing for a washing machine with space above for a tumble dryer. Off the tiled entrance hall is the sitting room with a wood-burning stove.


Upstairs there is a good size landing which is split, one side with a lovely window seat and the other has space for a desk so could be used as a study area. The main double bedroom is generous in size for a cottage and has an alcove which is currently used as a wardrobe. The other bedroom is also a double, has a wooden floor and is light and bright with dual aspect. There is a beautifully presented shower room with a walk in shower.


All through the house, because of the thickness of the walls, all the windows have deep window sills and all the windows are double glazed making this a very cosy cottage with period features including exposed stone walls and beams.


Outside: To the front of the property there is an area that can be used to park one car or alternatively this can be used as a sit out which gets the afternoon sun. Although this property does not have a garden, a short walk away is the village community orchard with picnic tables and benches, which is delightful place to sit and take in the view across the valley.


Location: The village of Croscombe is a rural village in the heart of Somerset, located on the A371 to the east of Wells (4 miles) and the west of Shepton Mallet (2 miles) in the beautiful valley of the River Sheppey. Despite mention in the Domesday Book, Croscombe first emerged in the16th and17th centuries with a boom in the wool trade. It is home to an award-winning pub, The George, which doubles up as the local shop. St Marys church is a beautiful medieval church with a Jacobean interior. Croscombe has an active community and much to offer with classes from amateur dramatics to Tai Chi held in the village hall, as well as the Charter Market where villagers sell their local produce, a village orchestra, a village school, playground and sports field. There is excellent walking in the area as the village has many beautiful footpaths across the valley to enjoy. The picturesque city of Wells (3.2 miles) has a bustling High Street and provides a range of local amenities with four supermarkets (including Waitrose), a cinema, leisure centre, numerous coffee shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from, several dentists and doctors, some fabulous independent shops. # There are also famous historical landmarks such as the Cathedral and the Bishop Palace, as well as a twice weekly produce market. There are excellent state schools in the vicinity, including Croscombe C of E Primary School, The Blue School in Wells and Whitstone School in Shepton Mallet for Secondary, as well as independent schools including All Hallows Prep School, Downside, Millfield and Wells Cathedral School. Both Bath (21 miles) and Bristol (22 miles) are within commuting distance and there is a main line railway station with links to London in Castle Cary 8.8 miles away. Street and Glastonbury are 20 minutes away and Bristol airport is an easy 30-minute drive.
