Description

Property Description: Guide Price £550k - 600k. Once the home of Earl Waldegrave, this fabulous 17th century cottage is well located, away from main roads, in the popular village of Chewton Mendip.

Step inside this charming cottage, and you'll find a wealth of original period features. Beams stretch across the fireplaces and the two wood burners add warmth and cosiness to these characterful living spaces, making them the perfect spots to relax and unwind. There are flagstone floors exuding character and history as well as terracotta tiles through the ground floor.

One of the highlights of this lovely cottage is the three reception rooms, each brimming with their own unique character. Whether you're hosting a formal gathering or seeking a quiet space to read a book, these rooms offer the versatility to adapt to your lifestyle.

The rooms are bright and flow seamlessly from one to the other making this a social and inclusive home. The well planned kitchen has a gas Rangemaster, double Belfast ceramic sink and ample cupboards plus a delightful view through the stable door to the rear terrace and garden. The living room with wood burner stove in an inglenook fireplace and dining room link together through double doors and allow the light to flood in from both sides of this social space. There is an additional room adjacent to the kitchen with a fireplace that can be used as a second living/family room or would make a very fine study. Off the living room is a good sized laundry/utility room with plenty of storage and a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, you'll find four double bedrooms and plenty of storage, providing ample space for your family or guests. The principal bedroom was created as part of the extension and is exceptionally well lit by the three windows that run along the back of the property. This room has hard wood flooring and a fully tiled en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom which has some original beams and a four piece bathroom suite.

For those who desire the best of both worlds, this cottage is ideal - while enjoying the tranquility of village life, you're just a short drive away from the vibrant cities of Wells, Bristol, and Bath. Whether you're seeking culture, history, or shopping, everything is within easy reach. Additionally, a bus stop located nearby offers convenient transport options.

Outside: Stepping outside, you'll discover a private lawned garden complete with a soothing stream. The garden has a stone outbuilding which has electricity connected and is wonderfully established with views of the village church. Spend your summers relaxing in this charming cottage garden.

Location: Chewton Mendip is a thriving village, and this property is perfectly situated to take advantage of all it has to offer. Chewton Mendip has a strong community and boasts a good range of facilities including an excellent primary school nearby, village hall with regular events, active church and secondary schools that include The Blue School, Wells Cathedral School and Millfield. The Mendip Pantry (shop and café) and two popular pubs are also within walking distance, providing a charming place to socialize and enjoy local cuisine. Bath Spa and Bristol both offer excellent mainline trains to London Paddington and beyond as well as the popular Castle Cary mainline offering services to London. Bristol Airport is under half an hour away making this a convenient location.
