Description

Property Description: Set on a quiet lane in an elevated position in the ever popular village of Westbury Sub Mendip this lovely stone built cottage has a lot to offer. The property has four bedrooms, a pretty garden, a double garage, parking, potential to extend and improve as well as fabulous views across the village and beyond.

To the front of the house there is a classic Somerset style 'cock and hen' stone wall with a path that takes you to the front door. The entrance hallway with stairs that rise to the first floor has period features which include a window seat and exposed beams. The good sized sitting room is at the front of the property and has a decorative fireplace housing an electric fire. The second reception room is at the back of the house and has a wood burning stove in one corner and a well, which is currently under a cover but could be exposed to create a feature. This room is currently an 'L' shape but there is a thin dividing wall between this room and the utility room which could be removed creating a dining room with snug. The kitchen is generous in size with units on three walls and has plumbing for a dish washer. This room is light and bright with windows on two elevations. A corridor then leads from the kitchen to the utility room and downstairs shower/bath room with the door to the back garden at the end.

One can not help but stop at the top of the stairs to take in the view from the landing window across the village and beyond. The two front double bedrooms are the rooms from the original cottage and both have character and exposed beams. There is a further double and single bedroom at the back of the property over looking the garden and a family bathroom.

Outside: At the back of the cottage there is a terraced area with lots of space for outside dining and entertaining. Steps then lead up to the lawn which has beautiful stone walls on two sides and an impressive and productive apple tree in the centre. The fabulous views from the garden look over the village and extend across to the Somerset Levels. To the front of the property there is a small pull-in with further parking on the drive which leads to the double garage.

Location: The cottage is set away from main roads in a small and quiet lane on the side of the village. Westbury Sub Mendip is a friendly rural village, located just 4 miles from Wells on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a fabulous community run village store with a café in the garden at the rear in which to meet friends or have a coffee. There is a popular village school as well as walks on your doorstep along the now disused railway line that ran through the village. The Strawberry Line (as it is known), is now a popular cycle route linking this southern side of the Mendips from Yatton to Wells and beyond. There are numerous fruit and vegetable market stalls found along this popular route in Draycott and Rodney Stoke towards Cheddar, offering you the opportunity to buy from a local producer. Or if you are feeling more adventurous why not try the Mendip Gliding Club for spectacular views as you soar over the Somerset Levels from just above Draycott Steep or further walks right on the doorstep up through the Mendips and beyond including the impressive Cheddar Gorge.

An easy drive to Wells and Cheddar with the benefit of regular bus services and only a short drive to Bristol Airport (approx.12 miles).
