Description
With three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a study, and a series of thoughtfully designed garden spaces, the cottage combines historic character with a peaceful rural lifestyle. A summer house, additional garden cabin and off-street parking add to the appeal of this welcoming home.
‘When we first moved here from a busy location in Bath, we were immediately struck by the beauty of the area,’ say the owners. ‘On our first night we looked up at the sky and realised there was no light pollution and no streetlights – the stars were incredible.’ Despite its tranquil setting, the cottage is well placed for exploring some of the region’s most sought-after destinations. ‘It’s in an idyllic spot yet within easy reach of many sought after destinations including Frome and the world heritage site of Bath,’ they explain.
Arranged over two floors, the cottage offers comfortable and flexible accommodation and bursts with character. ‘It’s a very old cottage with feet-thick walls and a huge amount of character,’ say the owners. ‘But more than that, it just has a warm, welcoming feeling – the sort of place that instantly feels like home.’
The gardens have been a particular labour of love. Designed as a series of outdoor ‘rooms’, they offer different areas to relax and enjoy the changing light throughout the day. ‘The garden is really the focal point of the house,’ the owners explain. ‘We created different spaces so you can follow the sun and enjoy the outdoors in every season.’
Beyond the cottage itself, the surrounding area offers an enviable lifestyle. ‘The nearby village of Mells has the renowned Talbot Inn and a post office and café, which you can reach via a beautiful walk through a wooded valley with streams,’ they say. ‘There are also wonderful gardens nearby, including Stourhead and Iford Manor.’
‘We love having our morning coffee in the garden shelter, watching the sun rise over the East-facing bedrooms.’
‘In summer evenings we sit on the veranda by the cabin near the pond – it’s such a peaceful spot.’
‘Bruton, with Hauser & Wirth, Roth Bar, Osip and Briar, is only about half an hour away, while Babington House is just a 10-minute drive.’
‘This house will be a tough act to follow but we’re certain it will be loved by whoever lives here next.’
