About the inside:

The property is a characterful three bedroom semi-detached cottage with well-proportioned rooms. A spacious sitting room with a wood burning stove and a cosy dining room with an open fireplace sit either side of the entrance hall. Beyond the dining room is a fitted kitchen with room for a breakfast table in front of the window. A couple of steps lead up to the extension which includes a utility room with a door to the rear garden, and a shower room. A large conservatory sits to the front of the cottage to make the most of the west facing views over Cheddar towards the reservoir and Bristol channel in the distance.

Upstairs, three bedrooms all enjoy stunning far reaching views. The principal bedroom is a generous space with high ceilings. Bedroom two benefits from a useful recess for storage and leads into bedroom three. Beyond is the main bathroom with a bath and separate shower and access into the eaves for storage.

About the outside:

A five bar gate leads into a gravelled private drive and access to the large garage/workshop and the front lawn with a path to the front door. Beyond the garage an expansive garden extends to the side and partly to the rear of the cottage and backs onto land belonging to the Longleat Estate above Cheddar Gorge. The garden, mainly laid to lawn, contains a number of derelict outbuildings/sheds, a former vegetable garden, and a small copse towards the furthest boundary. Beautiful views can be enjoyed from a strategically positioned bench in the centre of the lawn.

Pre-planning has been approved for a four bedroom single storey dwelling and garage for construction within the existing garden, which would be sub divided to create separate access, and parking for Batch House.
