About the Inside
On entering the property, you are greeted with a light and airy kitchen/dining room with a modern feel; it has the capacity to hold a large dining table for hosting and a comfortable seating area for relaxing and socialising. The kitchen flows into the cosy living room centred with a homely wood burner that channels the warm atmosphere of the cottage, heightened by low lighting from lamps. The rooms are accentuated by magnificent wooden beams that honour the magic of the property. Towards the rear of the living room the windows provide freshening natural light and a taste of the countryside with its priceless view.
Positioned away from the main rooms is a well-sized shower room consisting of a shower, sink and toilet. There is useful cupboard space underneath the stairs and opposite the bathroom for subtle storage.
A feature wooden staircase leads you upstairs to a landing area that trails into three capacious bedrooms suitable for double beds. Each bedroom benefits from the warm ambience integral to the property, with characteristics like wooden floors and beams continuing upstairs. There are plenty of discreet storage spaces.
Along the landing there is an impressive principal bedroom, fronted with a dressing area with potential to become a fourth bedroom. This stunning, triple aspect space with vaulted ceiling is generously sized, featuring a roll-top bath, toilet and basin at the rear of the room and enjoys stunning views helping to ensure a real sense of calm and relaxation.
About the outside
The property provides a spacious driveway for multiple vehicles leading to an impressive double garage with inspection pit. This fantastic space holds potential for a variety of uses. Adjoining is an office with separate entrance, the perfect space to work from home. At the rear of the cottage there is a patio area that provides a perfect opportunity for al fresco dining and hosting on a summer evening.
The gardens at Winchester Cottage are a true delight which have been carefully designed and thought out to provide three distinct areas, the first of which is a partially walled area, mostly laid to lawn with a plethora of mature trees, plants and shrubs that ensure a real sense of privacy. A gate leads into the further lawned area and offering mature fruit trees and a greenhouse, which in turn, leads to a mown paddock which carries potential for a multitude of uses. The end of the garden breathtakingly frames the marvellous view of the Somerset Levels.
