House For Sale £500,000
NO ONWARD CHAIN. An enchanting, recently renovated, 4 bedroom detached country cottage with large stone outbuilding, pretty garden, off-road parking and situated in the ever sought-after village of Dowlish Wake.
A charming and recently modernised four bedroom cottage with outbuilding/garage, parking, pretty gardens and situated in the heart of the popular village of Dowlish Wake. In brief the property comprises a dining room, sitting room, kitchen, further reception room and shower room to the ground floor with four bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor. Myrtle Cottage has benefitted from a complete upgrade in recent months providing any buyer with an exciting blank canvas on which to stamp their own design. The formal dining room is a great space to entertain, especially given its proximity to the kitchen, with double doors leading straight onto the westerly facing garden. The kitchen has been beautifully finished with all mod-cons, wood work-surfaces as well as exposed wooden flooring. The large dual aspect sitting room is ideal for family gatherings and unwinding throughout the seasons with a central fireplace offering an attractive focal point as well as warmth. Beyond this is a really useful extra reception room which could be utilised as a study, play room, bedroom or reading room, depending on one’s needs. A shower room and WC make up the remainder of the ground floor. There are four bedrooms to the first floor which include two double bedrooms and two generous singles. One of the smaller bedrooms would make a useful dressing room or study and, subject to the necessary consents, they could be combined to create a further double bedroom. All the sleeping quarters are serviced by the family bathroom. If that were not enough to whet the appetite, the stone-built outbuilding provides further intrigue. It is currently set-up as garage/store/workshop with attached laundry room. However, those looking for additional accommodation or self-contained living will see the potential this building has (subject to the necessary permissions). With over 1,600 sq ft of accommodation and more than 400 sq ft in outbuildings space, Myrtle Cottage is highly versatile and whether its families, those wanting character accommodation, or those simply wanting idyllic village life, this is one of the best out there.
Dowlish Wake is tucked away from main roads in a hidden and beautiful part of South Somerset with some excellent walks and public footpaths, nearby, together with a farm shop at Perry's Cider, parish church and public house (The New Inn). The nearest town is Ilminster, centred on its fine Minster and Market Place with independent and traditional shops as well as supermarket, together with many clubs and amateur dramatics. Other main towns in the area include Chard, Yeovil and Taunton all of which have a good range of facilities. Communications to the area are excellent. The A303 is a dual carriageway most of the way to London and provides fast access to the east. Exeter is under an hour away to the west, and junction 25 of the M5 is about 10 miles north of Ilminster. There are mainline railway stations at Crewkerne (7 miles - Waterloo connection) and Taunton (14 miles - Paddington connection). South coast at Lyme Regis 16.2 miles.
The property is approached by a private, gated driveway leading to off-road parking and the garage/outbuilding. The westerly facing gardens are laid to lawn and patio and further complemented by mature shrubs and colourful flora. It’s a private and romantic setting for alfresco dining, hosting family and friends and sitting out through the warmer months.
