Stoney Stratton, Somerset.

Crossways Cottage is set in the sought after picturesque village of Stoney Stratton. Dating back to 1600 this property is full of period features, charm and wonderful natural light. This stunning house has been empathetically decorated with neutral shades by the vendor enhancing its beauty. It offers tranquility and wonderful indoor and outdoor living space whilst ensuring comfort and discreet sophistication throughout.

The delightful period front door with stone surround, opens to the hallway with original beams and Blue Lias flooring. Leading from the hallway is the dining room with feature fireplace, wood burning stove, Mullion windows, a delightful window seat, and stunning original beams.  This flows on to a small farmhouse kitchen giving an air of modern living whilst retaining its charm with terracotta floor tiles, wooden units, integrated fridge and dishwasher and a Hotpoint cooker and hob. Steps lead up to a light, spacious laundry room with views over the charming courtyard where the sun rises in the East creating an idyllic setting to read the morning papers.  A workshop (currently used for storage) is located off the laundry room with Listed Planning permission granted to convert the laundry room and workshop into a breakfast room with glass panelled frontage and a laundry/downstairs loo.  Completing the ground level is a sitting room enhanced with original beams and Mullion windows.  A feature stone fireplace with wood burner, adds a focal point to this delightful family room.  

A latched oak door opens to the curved staircase with wooden handrails ascending to a split landing area.  Off the landing are three well proportioned double bedrooms with scope for the fourth single bedroom to be adapted to a study if working from home. Along with two bathrooms with modern appliances and heated towel rails and skylights radiating natural light. The master bedroom has fitted bespoke wardrobes, Mullion windows, pine shutters and stunning views overlooking meadows and Small Down Knoll.  Bedroom 2 also has bespoke fitted wardrobes.  There is attic access off the landing.

Outside:
The front entrance to the property is approached through a wrought iron gate, enhanced with an original stone wall with climbing clematis.  A charming path with plants, lavender and daffodil borders lead to the gorgeous period front door. To the back of the property stone walling and laurel hedging delineates its boundaries with a gravel driveway with parking for two vehicles.  To the side a wooden arch leads to the idyllic, tranquil garden sheltered by Red Robin hedging, with a Fig, Lilac and Apple tree.  A pretty Summerhouse nestles in the garden offering a cosy retreat.

Additionally a potting shed is located off the Courtyard, with power supply, ideal for garden tools and logs.
