Sunny Cottage occupies a peaceful spot in West Charlton, 1/3rd of ‘The Charltons’, which are made up of for the most part of period stone built houses and cottages in the villages of Charlton Adam and Charlton Mackrell. These three lie close together and share amenities such as the primary school and public house. The villages are surrounded by beautiful walking countryside and is well placed for the market town of Somerton, with Castle Cary, Street (Millfield School), Glastonbury, Wells and Yeovil all within easy access. There is a mainline railway station at Castle Cary with regular fast services to London Paddington (1h 45m). The A303 is a short drive away giving good road access to London and the Home Counties, as well as the A37 to Bristol/Bath.

Sunny Cottage lives up to its name with a delightful south-facing orientation. The fully enclosed rear garden is modest and attractive, with a patio area immediately adjacent to the house providing the perfect sun trap. A short set of stone steps leads up to a lawn which is bordered with an attractive range of flowers and shrubs with a pleasant outlook over neighbouring greenery, whilst a handy garden shed sits in one corner. A gravelled frontage with a series of flower beds help frame the attractive cottage, with a wood store and a short path that leads to the two parking spaces at the front, equipped with an EV charger.
