House For Sale £575,000
Surrounded by countryside and situated on a riverside location Church Cottage enjoys an abundance of natural wildlife. Set in 0.7 acre of level gardens with garage and useful all year-round workshop/storage shed.
The Property
Church Cottage is the perfect location to enjoy unspoilt country and riverside living with an abundance of wildlife such as otters, kingfishers, moorhens and swans. The open aspect allows day long enjoyment of the sun from various spots in the garden.
Throughout the ground floor accommodation, attractive but practical tiled floors ensure that you don’t have to worry too much about footwear as you pop in and out of doors throughout the day. A cosy sitting room with wood burner looks across the front gardens and a large window onto the rear garden room ensures that you can see across the garden to the fields beyond. The garden room is the perfect room to take in the best of the beautiful views to the rear.
A dining room also sits to the rear of the house with similar aspect, with an archway leading to the well fitted kitchen with good range of units with induction hob and built-in double ovens. Situated just off the kitchen the utility room has a door to the front of the property and also connects to the shower room/WC.
On the first floor are three double bedrooms, the principal room enjoying a double aspect to both the front and rear views. There are two good size built in wardrobes. Bedroom two also enjoys views to the rear and has two wardrobes whilst the third bedroom overlooks the front garden and has a good range of fitted furniture and doubles as a study. The bathroom is fitted with a shaped bath with shower over and fitted vanity cupboards.
Access to the loft is from the landing with a boarded roof space.
Outside
Church Cottage sits at the far end of its large level plot and is bounded by the river Isle to the south and west. A long gravelled driveway leads to a large parking and turning area with good size garage with double oak doors, power and lighting just to the side the of the house. There is an attached mower shed as well.
To the front of the property is a patio area with large enclosed lawn/paddock leading towards the entrance. At the very top of the garden is a productive vegetable area with raised beds and variety of trees. Tucked away in the corner is a well-insulated timber workshop/storage shed designed for all year-round use. Ideal for tinkering on a vehicle or for a hobby, crafts room etc.
To the rear of Church Cottage, the garden faces south and are laid to lawn with steps leading down to the river. Beyond the garden lies open countryside and it creates a truly beautiful location.
The southerly rear aspect produces excellent returns for the photovoltaic panels (approximately £2000 per annum). We understand that the property also has the rights to fish the river along the boundary.
Agents Note
Although the property is connected to mains water the pressure can be low at times and it may be prudent for a new owner to look at installing a water tank. The owners have also confirmed that the river has not flooded the property but has historically come up onto the back lawn.
Situation
Church Cottage is situated just over 0.5 mile from Puckington, which is a small but friendly village located just north of the thriving market town of Ilminster. The village itself has a parish church and mainly consists of attractive period properties that lie within easy reach of excellent road links, and a range of local facilities.
The nearby village of Barrington renowned for its stunning National Trust property, Barrington Court, also has a great community feel with popular pub “The Barrington Boar” and a well-supported village hall with various events and societies including local produce market, gardening club and amateur dramatics group.
Ilminster itself has a wide variety of independent stores. These are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church and have everything you need from an award-winning butcher, delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares, antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops as well as a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking. Should you need to go further afield the A303 and A358 lie within easy reach.<br/><br/>
