Church Street, Mark, Highbridge, TA9

Nestled in the heart of the friendly village of Mark, this charming, stone-fronted cottage offers open-plan living, four bedrooms, off-street parking and a delightful, private rear garden.

Wayside Cottage has been sensitively renovated in a traditional style and extended to create a stunning living space. The open-plan kitchen-diner provides plenty of space for a dining table and a relaxing seating area with bifold doors and views across the garden. Shaker style units are topped with stone worktops and incorporate an inbuilt fridge-freezer, double oven, dishwasher and induction hob. A peninsular provides additional worktop space and seating area whilst more storage space and white goods are located in the adjacent pantry.

The sitting room is substantial, with views across to the church, and offers the perfect place to cosy up in winter months next to the feature fireplace with woodburning stove.

The entrance hall leads to a shower room and versatile and useful utility area with ample storage cupboards and shelving, whilst the rear hall leads to a study with views of the garden.

Upstairs, the impressive double-aspect principal suite features a walk-in wardrobe and a fabulous ensuite with walk-in shower.

There are a further two double bedrooms with views to the front of the property, one with built in storage, and a single bedroom, currently being used as an office. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, decorated in a traditional style with rainforest shower over the bath.

The cottage is set back from the road, providing off-road parking for two cars. The rear garden can be accessed via a passage from the driveway. A pretty, walled rear-garden incorporates a paved seating area directly out from the kitchen, prefect for al-fresco dining. There is a lawned area edged with a path leading past a garden kitchen / bar and seating area to storage sheds and a patio with pergola, perfect for catching the evening sun.
