Description

Bursting with character and period charm, this very pretty detached cottage with stone elevations under a predominantly thatched roof, sits on a quiet road in a much sought after village location. Free from the constraints of any listing, the property has been tweaked and modified over the years to now offer very comfortable accommodation set over two floors. Original features prevail, such as flagstone flooring and exposed beams and these are most evident in the wonderfully cosy sitting room. Here we find a fabulous inglenook fireplace with original bread oven and impressive Bressummer beam above, that houses the more recently installed wood burner. Towards the rear of the property, the addition of a light and bright garden room is the perfect spot for the summer, with French doors that provide direct access to the most beautiful garden. Ideal for entertaining, the property has a conveniently positioned dining room just off the kitchen, which is itself well-appointed and recently fitted with a range of shaker style wall and base units and numerous integrated appliances that include a Lamona microwave, fridge freezer, Neff oven, warming drawer and hob and Bosch dishwasher. The practical nature of this cottage is further enhanced by an adjoining utility room with space and connection for a washing machine and fridge freezer. There is a 1.5 bowl sink and access directly to the rear garden, making this the ideal room for returning dogs from muddy walks. A dual aspect office that enjoys a southerly aspect, a further study/library with built in shelving and a downstairs shower room complete the picture on the ground floor.
Stairs rise up from the generous hall to the first floor where a large principal bedroom with characterful exposed vaulted beams, triple aspect and plenty of storage can be found. There are three further bedrooms with lovely outlooks and a family bathroom complete with bathtub, basin and WC.

OUTSIDE
The gardens at Lavender Cottage are a real feature of this property having been lovingly crafted and cared for over the years by the current owners. With numerous deep and well stocked borders, they also feature a paved terrace for al fresco dining, gravelled paths, a small pond offering a haven for wildlife, a timber pergola adorned with various climbers and a rose arch for some vertical emphasis. A greenhouse is the perfect spot for cultivating young plants whilst a further outbuilding provides two very useful stores that could serve numerous purposes. A thatched two bay car port is very much in keeping with the cottage and complements the additional gravel parking that lies to the side of the property. Much admired from the road, this is an idyllic cottage in a quiet backwater of a very desirable village.

LOCATION
Lavender Cottage is situated on George Street within the extremely popular village of Charlton Adam, located approximately 4 miles to the east of Somerton and 3 miles from the A303 Podimore Junction. The neighbouring village of Charlton Mackrell provides a primary school and parish church. The hilltop town of Somerton dates back to the Anglo Saxon era when it was the capital of Wessex and an important political and commercial centre. This attractive small town has an excellent range of facilities including shops, public houses and schools, with the larger commercial centre of Yeovil within an easy drive, as is the pretty Abbey town of Sherborne.

EDUCATION
The villages of Charlton Adam and Charlton Mackrell lie close together and share a primary school (0.4 miles). There are further primary schools in Somerton (4 miles) and in Keinton Mandeville (2.3 miles). There are nearby private schools at Millfield in Street (6.5 miles), Hazlegrove (7 miles), Sherborne Boys’ and Sherborne Girls’ (12 miles) and Wells Cathedral School (15 miles).

SPORTING AND RECREATION
The area is well provided for with bridleways, quiet lanes and footpaths. Fishing and sailing (by permit) at Sutton Bingham Reservoir near Yeovil and the Jurassic coast is just over 30 miles away. Racing at Wincanton, Salisbury and Taunton. Numerous golf courses including Wheathill and Yeovil. Theatres in Bath, Yeovil, Bristol and Salisbury. The Newt, now well renowned for its many first class attractions, is also nearby.
