Description

Property Description: Situated just off a country lane in the hamlet of Worminster, this fabulous one bedroom holiday cottage is a true gem and would make an ideal rural retreat or interim accommodation. The property is light and bright with views down the valley that one would never tire of.

The open plan kitchen/living room with a vaulted ceiling comes complete with a fully functioning kitchen that includes an oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and storage. The living area is a comfortable space, furnished with a sofa, chair and television with large windows looking over the terrace and out over the fields. There is a large sliding barn style door leading to the bedroom, which is stylish in its design with a king-size bed and crisp white linen, cow hide rug and feature lighting. The en-suite bathroom has a luxurious freestanding bath.

Outside there is a private, fully enclosed, large gravelled terrace with outside seating where you can sit and soak up the stunning views that stretch down the valley towards the village of North Wootton. There is a gravelled drive with parking for up to four cars.

With an abundance of countryside walks on your door step this place is indeed a rural idyll and would suit either a professional person or couple looking for a bolt-hole or short-term accommodation. Pets considered.

Location: The property is close to the popular villages of North Wootton and Pilton and the town of Glastonbury and City of Wells are both just a short drive away. The historic cathedral city of Wells is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). At it’s centre is the market place (local markets held twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the cathedral and the moated Bishops Palace as well as its bustling high street. Glastonbury is a small but busy town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the majestic ruins of the Abbey. There are regular farmer’s markets in Wells, Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet (just six miles away) and these locations offer a variety of coffee shops, restaurants and independent shops. All the usual supermarkets can be found in any of these three locations and there are great local farm shops including Jon Thorner’s or maybe try the local producer Brown Cow Organics. There are fabulous walks on your doorstep over the surrounding countryside. Just half an hour away is the town of Bruton with its boutique shops, famous restaurants and world-renowned Hauser & Wirth Art Gallery. Bristol, Bath and Frome are all within approximately an hour’s drive and a mainline station with trains to London Paddington, is situated approximately a twenty minute drive away at Castle Cary. Bristol International Airport is around 23 miles away.
