Back Lane, Kingston Seymour, BS21

Triangle Farm Cottage is a beautiful Somerset Long House dating back to the 1700s, and is reputed to be one of the oldest surviving buildings in Kingston Seymour. Overlooking the parish green, it enjoys a privileged position at the heart of this wonderfully traditional village, while also being conveniently located for Bristol, Weston-Super-Mare, Bristol Airport, and mainline railway services. A five bedroom detached family home the property comes with spacious, well-stocked gardens, a garage, and ample off-street parking.

Having been thoughtfully restored in recent years, the cottage now showcases its period details to full effect, with exposed beams, latched doors, tongue-and-groove panelling and attractive fireplaces. These original features are seamlessly blended with modern fixtures and fittings, creating spacious rooms that retain their historic charm whilst offering all the comforts of modern day living.

A welcoming front door opens into the hallway, where the quality of finish is immediately clear. Two-tone panelled walls in calming natural shades are perfectly complemented by parquet flooring.

To the left lies a magnificent double reception room with oak flooring. Deep recessed bay windows allow natural light to flood in, while a brick fireplace with oak mantel and wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

From here, a door leads into the kitchen/breakfast room — a generous space for both cooking and family gatherings. Extensively refurbished and extended just three years ago, it features shaker-style units in dove grey with contrasting white worktops and underfloor heating which adds a touch of luxury. A striking tiled splashback frames the range cooker, and a large island provides space for breakfast seating. There is also an American-style fridge/freezer, integrated dishwasher, and plenty of room for a dining table. French doors open onto the terrace and garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

A practical utility room, with washing machine, tumble dryer, sink and extra storage, sits off the kitchen and from both the kitchen and hallway there is access to a boot room with downstairs cloakroom (including shower). With direct garden access, it is ideal for muddy boots, pets, and additional storage.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a further reception room, currently arranged as a study but equally suitable as a playroom or snug.

Upstairs, there are five generously sized bedrooms, each offering flexibility for family members or guests. The principal bedroom is filled with natural light and provides a peaceful retreat. The large galleried landing creates an additional seating area, offering a tranquil spot with views across the property and into the heart of the home.

There are also two recently installed bathrooms: a spacious family bathroom that exudes period charm with its roll-top bath and separate shower, and a second shower room finished in a sleek, contemporary style.

Outside

The walled cottage garden is a particular highlight. South-facing and well stocked with traditional English flowers, it also includes several feature trees including an acer, a stone-paved terrace leading to the lawn, garden shed, and summer house. A side gateway provides access to the road, and there is a useful outside tap.

To the rear lies a smaller yet productive garden, home to a greenhouse and apple and pear trees. Wrought-iron gates open onto a tarmac driveway with parking for several vehicles, as well as access to the integrated garage, which has both an up-and-over door and a pedestrian entrance leading directly into the house.
