Description
Property Description: Guide Price £475,000 - £500,000. Originally built in the 1890s, this three bed detached cottage has been extended over the years to create a charming rural home with countryside views of the famous Glastonbury Tor. The property is brimming with character with many period features throughout, including exposed wooden beams and ledge doors, and the garden even has its own working water well.
The front door leads directly into the sitting room which is the original part of the property. This room is the heart of the home and is full of Victorian rural charm with its exposed ceiling beams, bespoke wooden window seat, large inglenook fireplace and log burner. There is a storage cupboard under the stairs which is encased in wood adding to the room's period aesthetic. Natural light floods in from the adjacent conservatory which has fabulous flagstone flooring and overlooks the rear garden, providing the perfect sanctuary to relax in during the day. The property was extended twenty years ago to create a kitchen and adjoining dining room. In keeping with the rest of the property, the double aspect dining room has exposed beams and wooden ledge doors as well as bespoke wooden window sills. These features are continued through to the kitchen/breakfast room which is triple aspect and has a classic double oven with a 4 ring hob and space for a washing machine and an under-counter fridge. There is a side door in the kitchen which leads to the rear garden.
There is currently planning permission in place to extend to the rear of the property.
The period features continue up to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms and a 'Jack & Jill' family bathroom, all set in the eaves. The principal bedroom has exposed beams and stunning views overlooking the fabulous Somerset countryside and the world renowned Glastonbury Tor. The family bathroom is part tiled, has a walk-in shower, exposed beams and a bespoke wooden window sill. This bathroom also acts as an en-suite to the principal bedroom.
Outside: The enclosed rear garden has views of the famous Glastonbury Tor and surrounding countryside. From the conservatory, French doors open directly onto a couple of stone steps leading up to the garden which is mostly laid to lawn and has a raised bed with planting as well as shrubbery and planting surrounding the lawn area. There is a small decked terrace in the corner providing space for garden furniture. The garden is enclosed with a cock and hen stone wall on one side and a wooden fence which wraps around to the side of the property. Here there are two storage sheds (one wooden and one a temporary metal shed that could be left if needed) as well as the side gate giving access to the front of the property. The main attraction of this garden is the enchanting working water well which has been fitted with an electric light.
Roses trail across the front façade of the property where there is a gravel driveway with space to park one car with space to park a second car at the side of the property under a tiled roof, covered carport. Behind the carport, there is currently a makeshift garage which can be deconstructed should the buyer prefer more driveway space.
Brand new 'Helpin U Solar' solar panels are due to be installed on the property's roof imminently.
