Accommodation

Plotgate Cottage is a delightful semi-detached home built from local Blue Lias stone, and situated in a tranquil rural setting in the desirable village of Barton St David. This Grade II Listed property has been thoughtfully renovated by its current owners to create a wonderful blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Surrounded by picturesque cottage gardens that seamlessly merge with open countryside, the home enjoys idyllic views of Glastonbury Tor.

At the front of the property, a stable door invites you into a fully enclosed entrance porch, a practical space for storing coats, and mucky boots. From here, you step into the heart of the home—a spacious, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Exposed wooden beams give a rustic warmth to the room, while an imposing inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove serves as the focal point. The bespoke kitchen features integrated appliances and generous storage. Light Minerva worktops and a tiled backsplash complete the look. Natural light floods the principal reception area through windows overlooking the front and rear gardens. A stable door at the rear provides direct access to the rear garden, where the idyllic setting is complemented by far-reaching views of Glastonbury Tor.

Also on the ground floor is a versatile additional room, perfect as a study or snug. Original flagstone floors and an open fireplace add character, while a window and stable door to the front aspect flood the area with light. From here, a staircase rises to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and a bathroom.

Two of the bedrooms are comfortable doubles, and the third room again a spacious single room. The bathroom has stylish wood panelling, sleek wall tiles and traditional sanitary ware in keeping with the cottage's country modern aesthetic.

Outside

Wrapping around the property, there are pretty cottage gardens with lawned areas as well as plenty of private spots in which to sit and enjoy the sunshine and views. The rear garden takes in the cracking outlook of the Tor, while the front garden enjoys a south westerly outlook.

There is a driveway over which the property enjoys a right of access that leads to a parking area, turning bay and carport which is owned by the property.
