Description - Bell Cottage is a charming stone fronted village cottage which has been cleverly extended over the years and now provides flexible, spacious accommodation which retains much of its original charm and character. The cottage sits in delightful landscaped gardens which are elevated and enjoy superb views over the village towards the ancient church. There is off-road parking and integral double garage and the house is offered with no onward chain.
Accommodation - The accommodation is very versatile and laid out over two floors comprising a front door which opens on to an entrance hallway with turning staircase to the first floor with doors to the reception rooms. The sitting room centres upon an open fireplace and has double doors opening out on the rear and windows overlooking the front garden. The open plan kitchen/dining room has been beautifully arranged with a range of matching oak fronted wall and base units with integrated dishwasher. There is a fireplace recess with inset gas-fired Aga with beam over. The tiled floor extends through the kitchen and into the open plan dining area. There are a range of built in units which run along the length of one wall with shelving and glazed cupboards. Doors open on to the rear garden and further door to downstairs WC. The door from the kitchen / dining room leads into the utility room which has a door through to the garage. At the end of the house (through the utility room) lies the study/bedroom 4.
On the first floor there are three good sized bedrooms, with the master bedroom having an en-suite WC with wash basin. All the bedrooms are fitted with built in wardrobes and cupboards and there is a spacious walk in storage area. There are two bathrooms and the bedrooms have stunning views over the village church and landscaped gardens.
Outside - There is a driveway which provides parking and turning for a number of vehicles and provides access to the integral double garage with up and over door. At the front of the cottage there is a brick paved pathway leading to the front door. The main area of garden is laid to lawn with deep planted flower borders including a number of specimen trees and shrubs. There is a further paved patio area which enjoys a good degree of privacy and to the rear a pathway rises to the back garden which is laid to lawn and again has been beautifully planted incorporating a range of specimen trees and shrubs with a vast lawn area, enclosed walled patio area. There is a summer house and a range of mature specimen trees and shrubs.
The garden once had planning permission granted for a detached dwelling. Bell Cottage owns the driveway which leads to the neighbouring property which would give access to this potential plot.
Directions - From Taunton, head towards the village of Kingston St Mary, as you enter the village and up to the green triangle signposted to the church, proceed up this road passing the church and the entrance can be found on the right-hand side identified by a Stags for sale board.
