Lower Milton, Wookey Hole, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

A splendid four double bedroom semi-detached cottage set on the outskirts of the village of Wookey Hole with beautiful countryside views and offered with no onward chain. The property has been within the same family ownership for over 30 years, extended and improved over that time, it now makes for a wonderful family home whilst still offering scope for someone to place their own mark. 

Upon entering the house is a spacious entrance hall with space for shoes and coats, a w/c with wash hand basin and a utility room with sink, cupboards along with space and plumbing for a washing machine. From the hall a door provides direct access into the integral single garage, which benefits from light and power. The kitchen/dining room features a range of fitted units, an electric oven, induction hob, ample space for a table to seat six people along with views towards the Mendip Hills and a door opening out to the attractive cottage garden to the front. Within the house are two reception rooms, one adjacent to the kitchen which could be used as a formal dining room or further sitting room, if desired. The room has parquet wooden floor, a wood burner as the focal point and door opening into the garden room. The garden room, currently presented as a workshop/sitting room, is a glazed room with lovely views over the garden and a door opening into the garden. A further reception room can be found in the newer part of the house which has been used as a sitting room with a wood burner and sliding doors which open to the well tended gardens and beautiful countryside views beyond. 

The first floor landing splits with two double bedrooms each side and a family bathroom which comprises a bath with shower above, toilet, wash hand basin and bidet. Two of the double bedrooms look over the rear gardens and have wonderful countryside views in the distance, one of them having fitted storage and desk and the other having a feature fireplace and storage. Two double bedrooms can be found looking out towards the Mendip Hills, one of which has the benefit of fitted storage and a desk. 

OUTSIDE

Approaching the house is a driveway with parking for two to three cars and leading to the single garage with 'up and over' door, light and power. To the front of the house is an EV charger for electric cars. The gardens have been lovingly tended to over the years by the current owners who have created a wonderful area for outside furniture, dining and entertaining whilst benefitting from a southerly aspect and exceptional countryside views. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a wide variety of shrubs, bushes, flower beds and fruit trees. Within the garden is a wooden shed, two ponds - one having a fountain, and patio areas for outside furniture. On the garden room roof are solar panels which are owned outright and have a tariff for 11 years, in previous years the panels have generated an income of circa. £700 per year.
