Description - This delightful period cottage is full of charm and character, showcasing beautiful original features such as exposed beams, an impressive inglenook fireplace with recently installed log burner, exposed stone walls, and traditional latched doors. In 2007 the property was extended with the addition of two storeys, with single storey link to the existing house. A generous hallway leads through to the open-plan kitchen and dining room, fitted with elegant Shaker-style off- white units, open shelving, and a four-oven range cooker with induction hob and extractor. A door opens directly to the rear courtyard.
The light and welcoming living room with a log burner and a feature stone wall centres around a striking inglenook fireplace, while a glazed door opens to a paved courtyard leading up to the lawn and a raised decked area—perfect for enjoying the sunshine. Adjoining the kitchen is a bright, double-aspect playroom or study, offering versatile space for family life or home working.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings giving light and space, as well as a principal bedroom with en suite, and a recently replaced spacious family bathroom featuring a bath with shower over, a circular washbasin set into a vintage chest of drawers, and tasteful finishes throughout. Bedroom two benefits from a deep storage cupboard and a Velux window, while bedroom three also boasts a Velux window and traditional window with far-reaching views across Blagdon Lake and the surrounding countryside. The bright landing is enhanced by both a Velux and a traditional window.
Modern comforts such as double-glazed windows and high-quality finishes throughout complement the home’s character, creating a welcoming and beautifully balanced blend of old and new. The property has been tastefully redecorated with the recent addition of new carpets.

Outside - The pretty and mature rear garden features a terrace and raised lawn, with a wood store, wooden garden shed, and an insulated summerhouse/home office complete with power and lighting, ideal for home working or a creative studio.
