Upstairs are two good sized bedrooms and a beautiful bathroom with corner shower and roll-top bath, all with fantastic views over the fields towards Hestercombe House. The renovated detached barn offers great versatility and can be used as extra accommodation for family and friends or as a work from home space. Downstairs is a light room with oak flooring which could be used as a workspace or bedroom and a small bathroom with shower. There is useful storage space under the stairs and an area for washing machine and dryer. Upstairs is a large characterful bedroom with exposed beams and lovely views from the windows.

Once the Gardener’s Cottage to Cheddon Corner, this tucked away characterful period property is situated within the small community spirited hamlet of Upper Cheddon near Kingston St. Mary. The cottage and its separate converted barn are surrounded by a pretty walled garden with views to Hestercombe House across the fields and nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty, whilst enjoying easy access to local amenities, schools, Taunton main line train station and the M5.

The wonderful “secret” garden is a true delight filled with flowers trees and shrubs attracting an abundance of wildlife. A well-established Wisteria growing over the garden gate sets the scene as you enter from the lane. Paths then led you to various areas of the garden including a partly walled vegetable garden. A small stream runs along the boundary hedge and there are two wooden sheds for workshop and/or garden tool storage.
