Description

Property Description: Guide Price £350,000 - £375,000. A charming and beautifully presented two bedroom cottage situated in the heart of the popular Somerset village of Draycott. Set away from main roads and with beautiful countryside close at hand, the property has been thoughtfully renovated with great attention to detail, retaining a wealth of period features including exposed beams, lovely ironmongery and an exposed stone inglenook fireplace. The property is double glazed and has solid oak ledge doors plus new flooring and carpets throughout.

The accommodation is both light and welcoming. A particularly attractive south-facing sitting room enjoys an abundance of natural light and features painted beams together with a characterful inglenook fireplace with bread oven, creating a cosy focal point.

The kitchen/dining room is fitted in a classic shaker style with granite worktops and offers ample storage along with a useful larder cupboard. There is space for a dining table, making it a sociable area for everyday living and entertaining. A door leads directly out to the private courtyard garden.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a study, a useful utility room with additional storage and a downstairs WC.

On the first floor there are two generously sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is south facing and enjoys lovely natural light, with built-in wardrobes, exposed beams and a painted stone wall adding to its character. The second bedroom faces east, welcoming the morning sun, and also benefits from a south-facing Velux window and built-in storage. A family bathroom serves the bedrooms.

Outside: The property enjoys a delightful courtyard garden which is partly enclosed by an attractive Draycott stone wall. It has a gravelled area and a raised paved terrace, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. To the front is a small south-facing gravelled seating area, perfect for a bench to watch the sun set. There is off-road parking for one vehicle.

Location: The village of Draycott lies in the heart of Somerset, positioned on the Wells side of Cheddar and approximately seven miles from the historic cathedral City of Wells. This attractive village retains a wonderful sense of rural character and charm, with an appealing variety of homes including traditional cottages, bungalows, modern houses and larger period properties, all contributing to its distinctive and welcoming village setting.

A friendly village within a supportive community with a well supported community shop, selling essentials, fresh bread and bakes delivered daily and farm fresh milk. It also supports local food and drink producers, and artisan crafts. There is a very friendly pub (The Strawberry Special named after the Strawberry rail line) with themed evenings and quiz nights. The Cider Barn on the outskirts of the village is great for music lovers with a wider range of musical events. Easy access to Wells (less than 15 mins by car) and Cheddar 5 mins by car. The nature is incredible with doorstep access to Draycott Sleights and the Mendips and to the bottom of the village is the moors. You can walk safely to Cheddar, Axbridge, Wedmore and beyond from the cottage providing country living with the amenities you would enjoy in a large town.

The village is well placed for those needing to commute, with Bristol approximately 20 miles away and Weston-super-Mare around 13 miles distant. Access to the M5 motorway at junction 22 is roughly 12 miles away, while Bristol Airport lies about 12 miles to the north. The area is also well served by excellent independent schools, including Millfield School in Street, around 12 miles away, and the renowned Wells Cathedral School, approximately seven miles from the village.

The surrounding Somerset countryside is particularly picturesque, offering a wealth of opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits. Nearby highlights include the dramatic landscape of Cheddar Gorge and the beautiful city of Wells, both just a short drive away.
