Church Cottage, Church Lane, Timsbury

A beautifully preserved 18th-century cottage in an idyllic village setting, combining timeless character with comfortable modern living.

Dating from around 1780, Church Cottage is a delightful period home occupying a peaceful position on Church Lane, adjoining St Mary's Church. Providing 74 Square metres of accommodation and an impressive Energy Performance Certificate rating C. Rich in original character yet thoughtfully updated, this charming two-bedroom cottage offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy village life in one of the area's most desirable locations.

From the moment you step inside, the home's warmth and individuality are immediately apparent. Period features including an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, exposed beams, original oak roof trusses and an elegant turning staircase blend effortlessly with practical modern conveniences.

The welcoming kitchen/dining room is both stylish and functional, fitted with a comprehensive range of units, beech worktops, a twin ceramic Belfast sink, integrated double oven, five-ring gas hob, twin fridges and space for a washing machine. Tiled flooring and a bright front-facing aspect make this an ideal everyday family space. A rear lobby provides direct access to the garden alongside a convenient ground floor cloakroom.

The sitting room is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Filled with natural light from French doors opening directly onto the south-facing garden, this inviting room centres around a magnificent inglenook fireplace with exposed brickwork, timber beam and wood-burning stove—creating a wonderfully cosy atmosphere throughout the seasons. The charming turning staircase rises from this room to the first floor.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and useful storage, while the second bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows framing attractive views across the Cam Valley towards the Mendip Hills, together with a charming stone fireplace.

The family bathroom is well appointed with a bath and Mira shower over, pedestal wash basin, WC, heated towel rail and built-in airing cupboard housing the Worcester combination boiler.

Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight. Facing south to capture the sun throughout the day, they provide a delightful extension of the living space. The upper garden offers an enclosed terrace with timber decking, natural stone patio and a picturesque pergola draped in seasonal planting—perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Beyond the footpath lies the traditional cottage garden, thoughtfully planted with colourful flowers, mature shrubs, fruit, vegetable beds and an established laburnum tree. A lawn, patio and timber shed complete this enchanting outdoor space, offering something to enjoy throughout the year.

To the front of the property is a gravelled  area and maybe could be utilised as a driveway providing off-road parking for a small vehicle.

Location
Church Cottage occupies an enviable position in the heart of Timsbury, a thriving Somerset village renowned for its strong community spirit and excellent local amenities. Surrounded by beautiful countryside yet conveniently placed for commuting, the village offers easy access to Bath, Bristol and the surrounding market towns. The picturesque setting beside St Mary's Church, together with far-reaching views towards the Mendip Hills, creates a truly special backdrop for everyday life.
