Five bedroom detached character cottage - Winford

A superb five bedroom detached character cottage set within just over three quarters of an acre of beautifully maintained grounds. The property benefits from a double garage, outbuildings, productive vegetable garden, woodland area and landscaped gardens, all enjoying a peaceful rural setting on the outskirts of Winford with excellent access to Bristol and Bath.

About the property:

Having remained in the same ownership for more than thirty years, this charming and characterful home has been thoughtfully extended and carefully updated to create a warm and inviting family residence. Beautifully presented throughout and enjoying extensive gardens, solar panels and attractive rural views, Combewell Cottage offers an exceptional balance of modern comfort and countryside living.

About the inside:

An enclosed entrance porch opens into a spacious and light filled kitchen/breakfast room, featuring a gas fired Aga, granite work surfaces and exposed beams that enhance the cottage’s character. The adjoining dining room, part of the original cottage, exudes charm with polished wooden floorboards and an attractive decorative fire surround, and flows naturally through to a comfortable sitting room complete with an open fire and deep window sills. Just off the kitchen is a large utility room with a walk in larder, cloakroom, and door leading out to the patio. The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases. There is a spacious family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower, as well as an additional modern shower room. The property offers five generously sized bedrooms, one of which features vaulted ceilings and patio doors onto the garden, currently arranged as a home office.

About the outside:

A private driveway leads to a double garage and carport providing ample parking for several vehicles. There is also a timber workshop and store, while a large south facing greenhouse overlooks the productive vegetable garden. Adjoining the house is an attractively landscaped terrace, sheltered by stone walls and a mature hedge - ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The front of the property lies a generous lawn, while the rear garden opens onto a large expanse of lawn filled with daffodils, bluebells and wild flowers. Mown pathways wind through a variety of trees (perfect for treehouses).

Towards the far end of the garden leads to a gate and a natural area of land beyond, creating a wonderful sense of space and tranquility. Please note, a public footpath runs along this area of land.
