Godney, Wells

Sitting in the prettiest of situations beside the River Sheppey and approached over a small stone bridge with views of the Somerset countryside all around, Garslade Cottage offers two reception rooms, three double bedrooms, a private garden, and plenty of parking.

Formerly a cart shed dating back to Victorian times, the cottage was extended and rebuilt in 1984 and now forms a charming detached cottage full of character, with sizeable rooms and good natural light throughout. A picket garden gate leads through from the parking area to the garden and front door. Entering through the stable door, a hallway with downstairs cloakroom leads into the charming farmhouse kitchen. White painted units at one end house a double electric oven, with space and plumbing for a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge freezer, at the other end there is plenty of room for a dining table to host family and friends. Wonderful countryside views out of the window accompany the washing up duties in this house. An attractive arched doorway leads into the main reception room which is a truly large room and has good light from the double aspect windows, with a log burner at one end invoking thoughts of lazy evenings by the fire. A door leads through to the second sitting room, also a good size and once again double aspect and featuring a log burner. 
Stairs lead up from the second sitting room, winding past an attractive blue lias stone exposed wall to the spacious landing above, flooded with natural light.  Three generous double bedrooms, all with high ceilings, good natural light and exposed old beams are served by the family bathroom complete with bath and shower.  A large airing cupboard and access to the large loft space above are also on the landing. 
Outside
The south facing garden is totally private with views to Glastonbury Tor across the farmland beyond.  A large patio outside the kitchen allows for outside dining and entertaining in the summer months, and the garden is largely laid to lawn, with mixed shrubs in the border.  A garden gate leads to the parking area with plenty of room for several cars, and where a World War 2 pillbox is a reminder of the modern history of this area.
There is a right of way along the south side of the River Sheppey to allow for the Environment Agency to undertake river maintenance, with a gate in place to provide access.
