2 bedroom cottage for sale

This characterful three storey period home was originally constructed as a railway workers cottage, for the family of workers who were busy laying the tracks on the Cheddar Valley Line, a stretch of railway line which romantically became known as the Strawberry Line, owing to its cargo of fruit and vegetables being transported from the productive strawberry fields of Cheddar to market in Bristol. Since its demise in the late 1960's a band of volunteers have painstakingly transformed it into what is now a beautifully scenic foot and cycle path that links the Mendip Hills to the North Somerset Coast.

Packed with period charm, the property is a perfect pied a terre, first time buy, or downsize for buyers seeking a convenient location and a unique place to live. Set behind a pretty front garden, an attractive gabled porch provides access into the cottage and a handy space to decamp boots and cloaks. Continuing into the property through a rustic farmhouse-styled door you are greeted by a cosy sitting room which features a stunning exposed stone wall with a cast iron fireplace. There is a neat window seat to the front aspect with colonial style shutters.

Beyond the sitting room you will find the modern shaker styled kitchen with a four ring gas hob, integrated oven and contemporary extractor hood, there is plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge freezer, a cool geometric tiled splashback, sink with Quooker hot tap and tiled floor add convenience and further style. Within the kitchen is an enclosed staircase rising to the first and second floor accommodation.

To the rear of the kitchen a small lobby area has a door leading to garden and a further door that provides access to the superb recently remodelled shower room. This chic recent improvement to the cottage features a gorgeous black grid shower enclosure with a matt black rainfall shower head, along with a contemporary sink unit with vanity storage below, low level w.c, matt black heated towel rail and wood effect flooring.

Moving onto the first floor you will find two bedrooms, the first a delightful double bedroom with stripped wooden flooring and a shuttered window to the front elevation and the second a smaller child's size room that overlooks the rear garden and has a built in storage cupboard over the stairs. Finally, completing the accommodation is a further loft room, an absolutely beautiful room showered with natural light from two Velux windows to the ceiling, with a painted brick chimney breast and pine railings. Although not classified as a bedroom it is currently utilised as a spare/occasional bedroom by our current vendor.

Outside you will find a private enclosed garden which is purposely low maintenance with a smart area of paving for al-fresco dining and enjoying the wonderful southerly aspect leading to a further area of artificial lawn and a small garden shed. The garden features neat fencing to all sides with some additional privacy screening.
