Brindle Cottage, Clay Lane, Lower Chillington, Near Ilminster

Entrance Porch

The perfect introduction to Brindle Cottage. Flooded with natural light and framed by countryside views, this charming porch, complete with a traditional quarry tiled floor, is the ideal place to kick off muddy boots after a countryside stroll before wandering further inside.

Entrance Hall

9' 1'' x 9' 10'' (2.77m x 2.99m)

A welcoming central hallway where the cottage's character immediately begins to unfold. Decorative balustrades lead to the first floor, while a useful understairs cupboard keeps everyday essentials tucked neatly away.

Living Room

20' 2'' x 14' 9'' (6.14m x 4.49m)

A wonderfully atmospheric room that effortlessly blends rustic charm with breathtaking views. A soaring vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and striking steelwork create an impressive sense of space, while the wood-burning stove promises cosy winter evenings. A full-height sliding door draw your eye straight out across the gardens and rolling countryside beyond, making this a room you'll find yourself lingering in from morning coffee to sunset.

Snug/Dining Room

15' 8'' x 9' 11'' (4.77m x 3.02m)

If walls could tell stories, this room would have plenty. Gather around the beautiful inglenook fireplace, where the multi-fuel burner crackles away on its flagstone hearth, or perch in the window seat to watch the seasons change across the surrounding fields. Whether it's long family dinners or quiet evenings with a good book, this room was made for slowing life down.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

15' 0'' x 14' 0'' (4.57m x 4.26m)

The true heart of the home. French doors spill out onto the sunny patio, making al fresco dining effortless, while the bespoke kitchen combines timeless country style with modern practicality. Granite worktops, a sink and an impressive Smeg range cooker make it a kitchen that's equally at home hosting family celebrations or simply baking on a Sunday afternoon.

Utility Room

9' 1'' x 5' 7'' (2.77m x 1.70m)

A hardworking space that keeps the practical side of country living neatly out of sight. Complete with a traditional Butler sink, WC and plenty of room for laundry appliances, it also houses the home's efficient hybrid heating system and air source heat pump controls.

Master Bedroom

17' 8'' x 10' 1'' (5.38m x 3.07m)

FIRST FLOOR

Gallery Landing

A delightful landing that perfectly captures the cottage's character. Exposed beams, a charming decorative balustrade and natural light create an inviting space that feels more like a cosy reading nook than simply a route between rooms. A useful airing cupboard and loft access add practicality to the charm.

Bedroom Two

15' 5'' x 13' 8'' (4.70m x 4.16m)

A wonderfully spacious double bedroom with countryside views to both the front and rear, allowing natural light to flow through from dawn until dusk. Peaceful and calming, it's the sort of room where you'll happily throw open the windows and wake to birdsong each morning.

Bedroom Three

14' 10'' x 9' 11'' (4.52m x 3.02m)

Garden

Outside is where Brindle Cottage becomes truly magical.
Rather than one large lawn, the gardens unfold like a series of secret chapters waiting to be discovered. Winding paths disappear through mature planting, leading to hidden seating areas, woodland corners, sunny terraces, a charming pavilion, an elegant parterre and a peaceful water feature. Every turn reveals another surprise.
For keen gardeners, it's a paradise of rare and unusual planting, established borders and year-round colour. For children, it's an endless adventure playground. For dogs, it's heaven. For everyone else, it's simply somewhere you'll never tire of exploring.
The gardens extend to almost an acre, bordered by mature trees and hedging that create an exceptional sense of privacy, while beyond lies nothing but open countryside and uninterrupted views stretching across the fields.
Adding even more versatility is an insulated garden room, currently used as a home office but equally suited...

Visitor Parking Area

Opposite the property, a further parking area with a hardstanding provides space for multiple vehicles whilst a wooded area adjacent provides a tranquil area for contemplation.

The grounds extend to 0.9 acre. The location offers privacy and seclusion in a rural setting with the garden providing variety and colour throughout the year.
