Features and description
A beautifully presented and delightful detached character cottage on a quiet lane on the outskirts of Oakhill. Benefitting from spacious four bedroom accommodation, double garage and pretty cottage garden with a timber studio surrounded by open countryside, the property offers an idyllic country lifestyle yet within easy reach of Bristol, Bath and Wells.
About the property:
Meadow House is a well proportioned double fronted cottage that has been thoughtfully extended and updated by the current owners whilst retaining character features, and still offering scope for further development. The property offers plenty of off-road parking and a double garage that could be converted and incorporated into the main house. A large garden/dining room has been added to the rear, making the most of the garden views in addition to a stylish wet room beyond the utility room. Four good sized bedrooms, one with en-suite, perfectly suits family living or welcoming guests. Outside, an attractive cottage garden with productive vegetable beds and a timber studio overlooks open countryside.
About the inside:
An enclosed glazed entrance porch opens into the living room, a light filled space with original herringbone parquet floors, square bay window to the front and a wood burning stove. A door opens into a second, cosy reception room, also with a wood burning stove and parquets flooring. A spacious kitchen/dining room across the back of the cottage has a large electric Rangemaster, and traditional shaker style fitted units with a Belfast sink. An internal window opens into the garden room, a thoughtfully designed extension with large patio doors opening onto a terrace, and a vaulted ceiling with skylights. To one side of the kitchen is a useful utility room which leads into a contemporary wet room. From the kitchen, stairs lead to the first floor with four good sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom with a square bay window to the front enjoys a large en-suite bathroom. The family bathroom is a generous room with a bath and separate shower and views across the garden to the countryside beyond. Above the double garage, the guest bedroom is a restful retreat with oak floors, built in wardrobes, and views across the neighbouring paddocks.
About the outside:
A five bar gate opens into a gravelled driveway, providing parking for several vehicles in front of the double garage. The garage benefits from an internal door into the kitchen, and has been built with the intention that it could be converted into living space in the future. To the rear, a secluded and pretty cottage garden has been laid out with a dining terrace, lawns, productive vegetable garden and greenhouse, and a water feature. A timber studio with power and light overlooks the fields beyond, creating a peaceful hobby room or home office.
About the area:
The pretty village of Oakhill lies to the eastern end of the Mendip Hills within easy commuting distance of Bristol and Bath, five miles from Wells and four miles from Shepton Mallet. The nearby main line rail links are situated at Castle Cary, Bath and Bristol. The village enjoys a varying range of different age and style of properties with many period and individual homes. Within the village there is a doctors’ surgery, village churches, village hall and recreation field and two public houses. Oakhill boasts an excellent primary school whilst secondary schools are within easy reach. In addition, The Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows, Bruton School for Girls and Millfield are easily accessible.
