Mead Cottages, Brewery Lane Holcombe, BA3

Situated in the sought-after village of Holcombe, this attractive double-fronted stone cottage enjoys a pleasant outlook across the village playing fields. Originally forming part of the former brewery’s vat house, converted in 1915, the property retains a sense of its historic origins, with high ceilings, generous room proportions and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors.

The front door opens into the reception room, an impressive, elongated space with two large windows drawing in plenty of natural light. A log-burning stove provides an inviting focal point, complemented by shelving within the alcove and ample room for both sitting and dining furniture. The proportions of the room lend themselves particularly well to everyday living and entertaining. An inner hall leads through to a further reception room, offering excellent flexibility as a formal dining room, study or additional sitting room.

The kitchen overlooks the rear garden with direct access outside. A range of wall and base units is complemented by solid oak worktops, with a six-ring gas hob and large oven, together with plumbing for a dishwasher. The layout offers scope for both practical day-to-day use and informal dining. A separate utility area provides additional space for household appliances, while a ground-floor WC adds further convenience.

The first floor comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for families or those requiring space for guests. The fitted family bathroom is particularly generous, featuring both a bath and a separate double shower cubicle.

A staircase continues to the second floor, where a substantial loft room offers an additional versatile space. With multiple skylights bringing in natural light, this room could lend itself to a variety of uses, including a hobby room, occasional guest accommodation, home office or further living space, subject to any necessary consents.

OUTSIDE

To the front, a pretty garden creates an attractive approach to the cottage, while the position overlooking the playing fields adds to its appealing village setting. To the rear, access is provided via a gravel driveway, offering parking for several vehicles and leading to a double garage with power and lighting. The garden lies to the side of the property and is a particularly useful size, enclosed by traditional stone walling to provide a good degree of privacy.

Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden also incorporates a patio seating area, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A summer house with electricity and lighting provides a further useful space, whether for hobbies, storage or enjoying the garden in different seasons. A well adds an additional point of character to the grounds.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Gas central heating. All mains services are connected.

You have a right of way across the neighbouring property to access the front door.
