A delightful two bedroom village cottage with spacious accommodation, plenty of character features including flagstone floors and a wood burning stove, pretty front garden and off street parking.

About the property:

Idlewild cottage is a pretty, wisteria clad semi-detached stone property in the heart of Charlton Adam. High ceilings, exposed beams and quirky features add character to this delightful village home. The property offers surprisingly generous rooms with a 26’ living room with a wood burning stove, kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room and two double bedrooms sharing a large bathroom. The perfect country retreat yet within easy reach of the A303, Yeovil and Somerton.

About the inside:

An enclosed stone porch leads you into the generous dual aspect living room with exposed beams, flagstone floors and a wood burning stove set into the inglenook fireplace. High ceilings add to the sense of space, with windows overlooking the garden. A door leads into the cosy breakfast room which opens to the modern fitted kitchen. A skylight floods the room with natural light. A separate utility room has space and plumbing for a washing machine, and a useful cloakroom.

Upstairs are two large double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and exposed beams. A delightfully crooked passage leads to the jack and Jill bathroom which has a shower over the bath and benefits from a deep storage area.

About the outside:

The modest front garden is enclosed by a stone wall and fencing and is filled with roses, wisteria and mature shrubs offering a secluded space for a bistro table and chairs. The property also has off street parking for one vehicle.
