Charming Detached Country Cottage set in gardens and grounds of 0.9 acre in a peaceful elevated location in the heart of the Blackdown Hills. 3 Reception, 3/4 Bedrooms. Detached oak framed Barn/Studio. EPC: Band F
On the market for the first time in nearly fifty years, this traditional country cottage has been loved, enjoyed and well cared for. The original part of the property dates back several hundred years with thick stone walls set beneath a tiled roof and subsequent extensions have created a charming home with a welcoming atmosphere. The ground floor accommodation provides two comfortable reception rooms, one with impressive inglenook and heavily timbered ceiling, a generous kitchen with pine country units, double aspect breakfast area/garden room and cloakroom. There are four generous double bedrooms, two of which are intercommunicating, an en-suite shower room to the master and a family bathroom. Oil fired central heating is installed supplemented by the open fireplace in the sitting room.
Set right in the heart of the Blackdown Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and some 7 miles from Taunton the property enjoys a secluded location on the edge of this small hamlet, offering privacy without isolation. The surrounding hills and valleys are dotted with small villages and farmsteads, creating a stunning patchwork of traditional English countryside, all within easy reach of the county town. Local village amenities in Churchinford, Bishopswood and Buckland St Mary include a shop/cafe, two thriving pubs and popular primary school. Taunton offers excellent retail, educational and leisure facilities together with a good rail service (London Paddington) and easy access to the M5 motorway. Rural and countryside pursuits abound in the locality and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast is some 18 miles to the south, with Lyme Regis being about 30 minutes away.
The property is set in the most delightful gardens and grounds that have been established over many years to provide a mix of formal and informal space. The wide driveway/parking area leads to an attractive and very useful oak framed barn of brick and timber construction, divided into three sections and providing a studio with wood burner, car port and workshop, all with light and power. The gardens are mainly lawned and bounded by mature hedges and natural banks, with a wealth of spring flowers and ornamental shrubs and trees, together with an area of wild garden. The whole plot extends to an estimated 0.9 acre.
