IDYLLIC THATCHED COTTAGE IN APPROXIMATELY ¾ OF AN ACRE - Hilltop Lane, Kilve, Somerset

Hidden amongst mature gardens in one of Kilve’s most appealing settings, Boston Tops is an idyllic four-bedroom chocolate box cottage offering character, privacy and wonderfully flexible accommodation.

Ross loves - "What I love most about Boston Tops is the setting. It feels wonderfully tucked away amongst its mature gardens, yet you can stroll down to Kilve Beach or be up on the Quantock Hills within moments. Add in that chocolate box thatched cottage character and the flexible accommodation and it has all the ingredients of a very special country home."

The ground floor centres around a generous sitting room measuring almost 21ft in length, providing plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining. This is complemented by a separate dining room and a cosy family room with a bay window, while an additional office creates a dedicated place to work from home.

The characterful kitchen also features a bay window, bringing shape and natural light to the room, with direct access to the gardens. A ground-floor cloakroom completes the main accommodation.

Beyond the kitchen is an unusually substantial utility room measuring approximately 19ft, providing excellent laundry and storage space. This connects with the adjoining garage, which is large enough to accommodate a vehicle alongside workshop, hobby or further storage space.

Upstairs are four generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom opens directly onto a private balcony overlooking the gardens - a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the surroundings, it is also served by an ensuite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with one also enjoying a partial en suite (shower and basin), and very large walk in cupboard.

Outside, Boston Tops sits within established gardens and grounds extending to in excess of three-quarters of an acre. Mature trees and planting create a wonderful sense of seclusion, while the more open paddock-style area offers further space and potential, with the possibility of splitting the plot and constructing another dwelling, subject of course to any necessary consents.

Kilve Beach is but a stroll away, while the nearby Quantock Hills offer miles of walking and riding routes through some of Somerset’s most beautiful countryside. Despite its peaceful position, day to day amenities are close at hand with Taunton and Bridgwater accessible for mainline rail services and the M5.

Boston Tops is a charming and individual country home, combining the romance of a thatched cottage with generous accommodation, beautiful grounds and an exceptional position between the coast and the Quantock Hills.
