Description

Property Description: Guide Price £600,000 - £650,000. This charming and characterful period cottage with a parcel of land (0.7 acres) dates back to 1812 and is located in one of the most sought after areas in Somerset. A popular location, not only because of the world famous Glastonbury Festival (for which the owners get free tickets) but because of the beautiful surrounding countryside.

With only one other close neighbour this really is a true 'escape to the country' property. The cottage itself is stone built and still retains many of the original features such as flagstone flooring, exposed beams, ledge and brace doors and an inglenook fireplace. The kitchen really is the hub of the house and has a farmhouse feel about it with handmade fitted cupboards flanking three walls at one end of the room and space for a large dining table and a seating area. The kitchen is light and bright with windows on three sides and a stable door and French doors that open out to the garden. In addition to the kitchen is a separate pantry, a utility room, a downstairs shower room and rear lobby area with a back door to the garden.

The sitting room is at the front of the house and is well proportioned with plenty of space for comfy chairs around the impressive inglenook fireplace with its wood burning stove (and back boiler). The floor has the most amazing worn flag stones and there is a very lovely window seat. The porch and front door are off this room. From the sitting room the flag stones then run through to the second reception room/study. There is a feature fireplace, in an exposed stone and brick wall, which houses a vintage cast iron oven indicating that in years gone by this was once the original kitchen of the farm cottage.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three of which are doubles. The bedrooms are light and bright with many having double aspect. The principal bedroom has a built in cupboard as does the single bedroom. The two bedrooms that over look the front garden both have window seats so you can sit in your rooms and take in the views.

Outside: There is a very pretty cottage style front garden, which is a good size and has as south-westerly aspect. The garden then wraps around the cottage with views over the open countryside. There is parking for two cars at the front but there is scope to create more parking if required.

The icing on the cake for this property is the adjacent paddock, which is approximately 0.7 acres in size. This beautiful parcel of land would be perfect for those wanting to keep a few animals or for those wishing to create a space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. It could also be made into a small "glamping" site and provide an income, ideal for the Festival or for the summer months (subject to relevant planning). With views of Glastonbury Tor from the top end and originally the site of the local well, this is a truly lovely outdoor space and makes a fabulous addition to what is already a true gem of a property.

Location: The village of East Pennard is not far from Glastonbury. There's an excellent primary school, village hall and fabulous pub over in West Pennard. The historic cathedral city of Wells is just a short drive away and is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). Its centre has the market place (local markets held twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the cathedral and the moated Bishops Palace as well as its bustling high street. Glastonbury is a small but busy town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the majestic ruins of the Abbey. There are regular farmer’s markets in Wells, Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet (just six miles away) and these locations offer a variety of coffee shops, restaurants and independent shops. All the usual supermarkets can be found in any of these three locations and there are great local farm shops including Jon Thorner’s or maybe try the local producer Brown Cow Organics. There are fabulous walks on your doorstep over the surrounding countryside. Just 25 minutes away is the town of Bruton with its boutique shops, famous restaurants and world-renowned Hauser & Wirth Art Gallery. Bristol, Bath and Frome are all within approximately an hour’s drive and a mainline station with trains to London Paddington, is situated approximately a fifteen minute drive away at Castle Cary. Bristol International Airport is around 23 miles away. There is an excellent range of both state and independent schools in the area including the well-respected West Pennard Primary School. Millfield School, Wells Cathedral School, The Blue School in Wells, Strode College in Street, All Hallows, Downside School and numerous local primary schools are all accessible from the area.
