A charming and spacious three-bedroom detached cottage with the added benefits of off-street parking, a garage, and a beautifully enclosed rear garden.
Offered for sale with no onward chain.

About the Property:

Nestled on the outskirts of South Horrington, just moments from scenic countryside walks and the golf course, and less than two miles from central Wells, Fire Engine Cottage is a characterful stone-built home offering idyllic country living. The property features three well-proportioned bedrooms, including an en-suite, generous reception areas, and stunning far-reaching views. The delightful walled rear garden includes a gate leading to a hidden footpath that borders open fields. With off-street parking and a single garage, this unique home is offered with no onward chain, making early viewing highly recommended.


About the inside:

The welcoming entrance hall features useful storage cupboards and a spacious cloakroom. At the heart of the home, the central reception/dining room boasts French doors opening onto the rear garden, and the staircase leading to the first floor. To the left, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room enjoys charming arched windows overlooking the garden. The classic country-style limed oak cabinetry is complemented by built-in electric ovens and a gas hob, while a separate pantry provides additional storage and plumbing for a washing machine.

At the opposite end of the property, the light-filled dual-aspect living room benefits from French doors opening onto the gravel courtyard. A traditional gas flame-effect fire serves as an inviting focal point, creating a cosy yet spacious atmosphere.

Upstairs, a generous landing provides access to three good-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the width of the cottage and includes built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. The family bathroom features a white suite with a shower over the bath.

The first-floor views take in the golf course and the wooded landscape beyond.


About the Outside:

Wrought iron gates lead into a charming gravel courtyard, enclosed by a low stone wall and landscaped with mature shrubs and trees. A single garage and a timber gate provide access to the rear garden, while the front of the property offers additional parking alongside a lawned area and a path leading to the tiled porch.

The rear garden, accessed via stone steps from the dining room, is primarily laid to lawn, with a paved terrace beneath a timber pergola, enhancing the striking curved stone wall. A variety of established shrubs and espaliered trees provide year-round colour and interest. A discreet timber door at the end of the garden opens onto a hidden footpath that follows the edge of the adjacent field towards Frome Road.
