Byways Cottage, Middle Green, Wellington

Welcome to Byway Cottages, a home that seamlessly blends timeless charm with contemporary luxury. This exceptional residence, occupying a generous plot, offers breath taking, far reaching views to the front and a thoughtfully designed living space that caters to modern lifestyles. Originally built in the 1910s, Byway Cottages has been almost entirely rebuilt to an impeccable standard, completed in 2023.

The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the home, with stairs leading to the first floor and doors opening to principal rooms.

The stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is the centrepiece of this home. Featuring a comprehensive range of high-quality fitted units and integrated appliances, complemented by an integrated speaker system. The kitchen is flooded with natural light from bi-fold doors, this space invites the outdoors in, creating a perfect setting for both everyday living and entertaining. At the far end of the room, the dining and seating area features a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A separate, well-equipped utility room and cloakroom adds everyday practicality, along with a versatile office/study. The original part of the cottage features a characterful sitting room, complete with an inglenook-style fireplace housing a wood burner and integrated speakers — the perfect retreat to relax and unwind.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to three generous double bedrooms. The master bedroom is a true highlight, both in size and design, offering a luxurious feel with far-reaching views towards Wellington Monument. A beautifully appointed en-suite shower room further enhances the sense of comfort. The second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the third bedroom enjoys access to a stylish bathroom fitted with a roll-top bath and separate shower cubicle.

Libby Loves – "This is a home that is going to wow you as soon as you step through the door into the impressive entrance hall that is flooded with natural light. I especially love the large kitchen area to the front which really is the heart of this spectacular home"

The Owners Love – “We were first drawn to Byways because of the fantastic views of Wellington Monument. Over the years, we’ve loved having countryside walks right on our doorstep, while still being just minutes from the town centre. The garden is a real sun trap, offering sunshine throughout the day. The outdoor kitchen and entertaining space has been our favourite spot for hosting family and friends, enjoying alfresco dining late into the evening. Having the ability to step straight from our driveway into beautiful countryside really gives the house a special ‘wow factor.’"

Outside, double wooden gates open onto enclosed, level gardens extending to approximately 0.23 acres. A spacious driveway provides ample parking, alongside a substantial timber workshop with power and lighting, ideal for storage or hobbies. An impressive covered outdoor kitchen has been cleverly designed with preparation areas, a sink with hot and cold water, space for a fridge, and a built-in wood burner — making it perfect for entertaining.

The gardens themselves are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with large patio areas that take full advantage of the sunny aspect and the uninterrupted views of the Monument. A concealed well offers the opportunity to draw water for the garden, adding both charm and practicality. Footpaths run opposite and alongside the property, providing direct access into Wellington or up towards the Monument and the Blackdown Hills.
