The Cottage, Brickyard Farm, Maperton, Somerset, BA9

A rare opportunity to purchase an impressive detached four-bedroom house together with a substantial two-bedroom annexe, offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, extended family or those seeking additional independent accommodation.

A rare opportunity to purchase an attached four bedroom house with an impressive single storey two bedroom annexe. The property is presented in exceptional order throughout, with the main house enjoying many characterful features including exposed stonework, ceiling beams and deep display window sills. There is also a large master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe/dressing room, sitting room with wood burning stove, spacious kitchen/diner and stylish bath/shower room.

The annexe has its own private entrance and an interconnecting door to the main house, offering real versatility: it can be used as part of a large single dwelling, as independent accommodation for a family member seeking a home of their own while remaining close by, or let out separately to a tenant to generate a rental income, an attractive option for anyone looking to offset costs or maximise the property's investment potential.

The annexe accommodation is particularly generous, with a spacious living room opening to a 33' conservatory/dining room featuring a double-sided wood burning stove. There is also a modern fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms, one of which has a large en-suite shower room.

Outside, there is a long sweeping driveway providing parking for many cars and a secluded, mature garden with a large lawned area and a timber decked terrace, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining.
