Church Street, Mark, Highbridge, TA9

With vacant possession, in a central village location near the Post Office and shop, this three-bedroom cottage with open-plan living space, ensuite to main bedroom, a family bathroom and ground floor WC, is situated on an enviable plot with rear access to parking, workshop and lovely, level garden.

The deceptive ‘cottage’ façade disguises a more modern interior with a two-storey extension at the rear, renovated and extended by previous owners, enlarging the cottage and creating a desirable open-plan kitchen/living space with French doors opening into the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern wall and base units with a breakfast bar, an integrated dishwasher, fridge, freezer, oven and hob. The dining area, which has plenty of room for a table and other furniture, opens out into the back garden on one side and is open to the living/family room on the other. A separate sitting room provides a more intimate, cosy room for further comfortable seating. On the ground floor there is also a cloakroom and understairs storage.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The two larger, double bedrooms look out over the front garden and are well-proportioned rooms, one of which benefits from a modern, ensuite shower room. The smaller bedroom has lovely views over the rear garden.

From the outside, the cottage has the satisfying, symmetrical design of a child’s heartwarming drawing, with the central path from a little wrought iron gate, between the lawns, to the front door. A private lane to the side allows for access to the rear of the property where a five-bar gate swings open to the extensive level garden. A shingle driveway sweeps in between landscaped, paved terracing and the lawn, offering plenty of room for parking and access to the workshop. The tranquil, level garden stretches out at the rear offering a blank canvas for the green-fingered or a secure fenced and gated play area for an active family.
