House For Sale £1,100,000
Description
A heart-warming, quintessential chocolate box cottage set in the heart of Wedmore. With thatched roof and leaded windows, this charming, sensitively refurbished, detached home oozes character, and benefits from a beautiful garden, large garage and outbuildings.
Once inside, the real surprise is the sheer spaciousness of the light and airy rooms. Warm and welcoming, the large reception area with wooden floors and an open fireplace, flows through double doors into a fabulous, well-proportioned sitting room which, despite its generous size, retains a cosy feel – the perfect place to snuggle up by the wood burning stove whilst admiring views across the garden. Beyond the sitting room a passageway leads to the principal bedroom suite, with views and access to the pretty garden, a bank of built-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom with bath and separate shower. The characterful kitchen with its charming arched doorway, its range of bespoke, wooden base, wall and larder units with granite worktops features a large gas-fired Aga and inbuilt appliances. Further space for appliances and storage is in a handy utility area, beyond which there is a WC.
Upstairs a large, light-filled landing with space for a home study area, benefits from views across the garden and under eaves storage. The landing leads to two double bedrooms, one at each end of the cottage which are bursting with character, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. They share a family bathroom.
Outside
The house is offset by a quarter of an acre of pretty, mature gardens accessed via a ‘secret garden’-style arched wooden gate in the high stone wall. The gate swings open to reveal the beautiful garden, paved pathways, sun terrace, large detached garage, outbuildings and water well. The south-facing garden is mostly laid to lawn and features a number of well-established trees, flower beds, herbaceous borders, a wildlife pond, and a large paved terrace which runs along the front of the house leading to a covered area and outbuilding. The outbuilding, currently partitioned to create two rooms has electricity and plumbing, providing a versatile and useful space. A separate garage can be accessed via a door from the garden and via an electric garage door from the road-side.
