Cheddon Fitzpaine, Taunton, Somerset

A rare opportunity to acquire this charming three-bedroom country cottage, which occupies a lovely position in the heart of Cheddon Fitzpaine. The cottage was built circa 1800 and has been loved and cared for by the current owners since 2020. You enter through the front door into the internal porch, with a door opening to the principal reception room.

The living room has lovely original features as well as a window to the front aspect and a wood burning stove. A door opens to the downstairs WC, which is positioned at the rear of the home. The kitchen is located at the other side of the cottage and has a variety of fitted units with solid wood work surfaces over and inset sink and drainer. There is space for a range of appliances, including a cooker, washing machine, slimline dishwasher and fridge freezer. A door opens out to the rear garden and stairs rise to the first floor.

The Owners Love - The current owners have loved the convenience and close proximity of Taunton as well as having all the countryside around them. They particularly love “the fact we have the best of both worlds. There are some stunning rural walks from our doorstep, and yet we are only a short drive into town” which has made the lifestyle of country living really enjoyable. They will mostly miss “the beautiful rear gardens which we have loved developing and growing since we arrived!” They have also really enjoyed “the cosy cottage feeling in the winter months and the vibrant garden in the summer. Each season brings out a unique feature of this beautiful home”.

Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there are doors opening to the three bedrooms and family bathroom, a skylight window and exposed timbers. The master bedroom benefits from a built in wardrobe, with a gas boiler within and a window to the front aspect with views over the fields opposite. The two other bedrooms each have a window, and the one at the back with a skylight overhead. The bathroom also has a skylight and is fitted with a three-piece suite including bath with shower over, WC and washbasin.

George Loves - “I love the original features and characterful charm this property has! The moment I walked through the door, I fell in love! This is ideal for a buyer looking for a rural lifestyle. The position for me is the biggest selling point, however. These cottages so rarely come up for sale and its clear to see why. This is a must see cottage!”

Outside, to the rear of the cottage, there is an enchanting garden, which is a lovely size. It enjoys a large garden studio at the top of the garden, with an interconnecting workshop. The sellers have created a wonderful seating area just outside the back door, which is a lovely spot to enjoy a coffee in the morning sun, before retreating to the top decking for the afternoon. There is also a garden shed beyond the studio/workshop.
