Description

LAUREL COTTAGE, BRUTON ROAD, EVERCREECH, BA4 6HY

A charming, double-fronted Grade II listed cottage, set within a central location in the popular village of Evercreech.

The property is full of character and has recently been updated throughout. The accommodation includes a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, separate cloakroom, and two double bedrooms. 

In front of the property, there is a parking area, and to the rear, there is a private and enclosed garden with a stone store. 

Accommodation
Laurel Cottage stands back from the village round behind a local stone wall. The property has attractive stone elevations, with pretty sash windows set beneath a slate tiled roof. The property is thought to date back to the early 19th century, and has many character features indicative of this period. More recently, the owner has refurbished the accommodation, and it has become available in a move-in-ready condition. 

The front door opens into the dining room at the foot of the stairs. The dining room features a ceiling beam and oak flooring. Adjacent is a sitting room with lovely exposed flagstone floors and a ham stone open fireplace. 

At the back of the house, there is a kitchen which looks out over the garden. The kitchen has been fitted with new units with oak worktops, a gas Rangemaster cooker, a Belfast ceramic sink, fridge/freezer and a slimline dishwasher. From the kitchen, there is a rear lobby with a back door. Nearby, there is a beautifully fitted bathroom and a cloakroom. 

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, both of which have lovely high ceilings, and the master bedroom has a feature fireplace. 

Outside
Laurel Cottage sits in a comfortable plot, with space to the front and rear of the property. The driveway leads in front of the house to a paved parking courtyard, and there could be further parking alongside the house and to the rear. 

Behind the house, there is a gravelled terrace, bounded by a dry-stone wall, over which there is a mature garden with a lawn surrounded by deep flourishing borders. In the heart of the garden, there is a well-established beech tree. Beyond the garden, there are lovely views to the field behind. Adjoining the back of the house, there is a useful stone store. 

About the area
Evercreech is pleasantly situated in beautiful countryside away from but within easy reach of major roads. It is a lively village with a good range of amenities including a fine church, primary school, surgery, pharmacy, pub, store & post office, community art studio, hairdressers and bakery. A wide range of social, sporting and cultural organisations reflects its thriving community spirit. 

The facilities and attractions of the nearby towns of Bruton, Castle Cary, Wells and Glastonbury including The Newt and Hauser and Wirth Gallery are all within a short drive. All major supermarkets including Waitrose in Wells are easily accessible at Shepton Mallet, Wells and Wincanton.
