Bradford on Tone, Taunton, Somerset, TA4

A beautiful period cottage, nestling on the edge of this much sought after village, together with two substantial timber cabins, perfect for a studio, gym or Airbnb (STP).


This charming period cottage is believed to date back to 1650 and is of rendered stone and block elevations under a pitched tiled roof. The accommodation which has been extended over time benefits from all mains services and double glazed windows. The layout briefly comprises an entrance hall with quarry tile flooring and stairs rising to the first floor, to the side is a fabulous dual aspect living room with an impressive inglenook fireplace and stunning crossbeam ceiling. A door off leads to a passageway currently used as a log store and bicycle store, but also allows direct access from the lane to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of solid wood work units with granite work surfaces over, complete with electric Aga, Belfast sink and plumbing for a dishwasher. A broad opening extends the kitchen to the dining area enjoying views of the gardens completing the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor are three bedrooms, all of which are generous doubles and a family bathroom.

The real selling point of this property is the outside space. The rear gardens are beautifully manicured and offer a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Adjacent to the house is a gravelled seating area contained within attractive dwarf stone walling with floral borders and a set of steps lead up to a lawned garden with a circular sun terrace, perfect for alfresco dining and summer entertaining. A garden path meanders up to some raised planters, green house and a second sun terrace where there are two substantial timber cabins. The first of the cabins is fully insulated and has a log burning stove with internet connection (2.97m x 4.9m) but could be used as a bedroom, gym or hobbies room if you so wished. The second of the cabins (2.5m x 6.18m) is currently used as a workshop. This cabin has fully insulated floor and walls with an option to easily add insulation to the roof. Both cabins have double glazing and electricity.
