5 bedroom house

Nestled in an elevated position with far reaching views, deep within the Somerset countryside stands proudly this family home. Originally two farm workers cottages in the late 1800’s, they were merged into one, creating a comfortable 5-bedroom family home with flexible living. Whilst in need of some gentle modernisation in parts, the house has been well maintained throughout addressing much of what can’ t be seen to the eye such as rewiring as well as what can be seen whilst managing to retain much of the originality of the building. Furthermore, the current owners were historically granted planning permission, in 2014, to evolve the house further and these plans can be viewed on the Somerset Planning Portal, 2014/2297/HSE.
The principal reception areas comprise a formal sitting room which extends some 27ft, a family/living room and the breakfast/dining room which lies directly off the kitchen. These rooms all enjoy attractive views across and in some instances, direct access to the gardens that surround the house and the rolling countryside beyond.

The house boasts 5 bedrooms which are set out over two floors. The first floor has a generous landing and is home to the principal suite which has an ensuite bathroom and the guest room which is served by a shower room on the landing. There is also an excellent walk in storage area which could be adapted to make an office potentially. The second floor has a family shower room serving the three bedrooms on this floor and there is excellent eaves storage in the shower room and one of the bedrooms.

Outside
There is no escaping the truly spectacular countryside that surrounds The Batch Cottage. The mainly lawned gardens which surround the property are bounded by mature hedging, flower beds and estate fencing. A spacious patio area which can be accessed from the kitchen and utility room as well as the sitting room, is ideal for dining on those long summer evenings. There is a stone outbuilding and log shed which have power and water. The current owners have explored converting these outbuildings to habitable space and linking them to the house.

Situation
The rural hamlet of Chesterblade enjoys a truly spectacular rural position with numerous paths and bridleways that wind through the Somerset countryside, close at hand.
