Weston Road, Congresbury, BS49

Entering through the first stable door, you are welcomed into a bright porch with a tiled floor, leading into the central hallway. To the left, the lounge features a charming fitted cupboard and bookcase, with the main focal point being a cosy log burner. A partially glazed door from the lounge leads into the study, a light-filled room enhanced by a Velux window, which in turn provides access to the fourth bedroom, a versatile space suitable as a playroom, snug or guest bedroom.

Another partially glazed door from the lounge opens into the main sitting room, a beautifully presented and spacious area with striking feature fireplace wall housing an electric log-effect fire and bespoke shelving. French doors open directly onto the garden, while the curved wall reflects the property’s history as a former toll house, creating a wonderfully distinctive living space.

To the right of the hallway, the kitchen is fitted with modern shaker-style units and black granite work surfaces. A Rayburn oven provides cooking facilities as well as central heating and hot water, complemented by an induction hob, integrated fridge and space for a dishwasher. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a stunning dining room, featuring a vaulted ceiling with Velux window and French doors to the garden, offering ample space for a large dining table.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room provides additional storage along with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer, and gives access to the downstairs bathroom, fitted with a contemporary white suite and bath.

The staircase rises to a central landing, where a Velux window draws in natural light, creating a bright and airy feel. The landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is an impressive and characterful space, echoing the curved architecture of the original toll house. A Velux window enhances the sense of space and floods the room with natural light, while its generous proportions allow ample room for freestanding furniture, creating a calm and inviting retreat. A second double bedroom offers comfortable accommodation for family or guests, while the third bedroom provides flexibility as a single room, nursery or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite including bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.

Outside

The gardens at Jessamine Cottage are a particular highlight and complement the charm of the house beautifully. Immediately outside the dining room is a paved patio, perfect for al fresco dining and summer gathering. Beyond, the garden unfolds with a raised herb garden and four established apple trees, creating both seasonal beauty and productivity. A wooden seat beneath one of the apple trees provides a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

To the rear of the main sitting room lies a sheltered courtyard, offering a private and intimate outdoor space. Adding further character are the original well and natural ponds, enhancing the sense of history and connection to the landscape. A detached garage provides useful storage or secure parking.
