The village is well connected, with footpaths leading through meadows, orchards and woodland, and it enjoys easy access to the nearby towns of Glastonbury and Castle Cary.

The cottage is full of character from the very first glance with its stone façade adorned with roses and vines. The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall with a striking inglenook fireplace and wood burner, giving access to the principal rooms.

The sitting room is a bright and generous space with dual aspect windows and another inglenook fireplace. The dining room is equally spacious, with French doors opening to the rear garden—perfect for entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with pine-fronted units and has space for a family dining table, together with a pantry and a door to the garden. Beyond are a utility room and cloakroom.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with high ceilings, beams, dual aspect views and an en suite shower room. Four further bedrooms are arranged around the landing, together with a family shower room.

P.S.

A few extra comments

Mortgages – we can help.

Bridging loans – We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
