Set within 1.13 acres of mature gardens, this substantial stone cottage combines period character with generous family accommodation. Original features such as exposed beams, latched doors and an inglenook fireplace sit alongside practical rooms: a sizeable kitchen with Aga, multiple reception rooms, utility and ample storage. The principal bedroom occupies the full width of a wing and includes a dressing area, en suite and a balcony overlooking the garden.
Outdoor space is a key asset: a south‑east facing courtyard leads down to a covered, LPG‑heated swimming pool, extensive lawns and mature specimen trees. Ancillary buildings include a double garage currently used as a gym, timber and stone stores, and parking for several vehicles on a gated tarmac drive—useful for families, home workers or hobbies that need workshop space.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The house is oil‑heated with a boiler and radiators and runs on private drainage; double glazing is fitted but the property dates from before 1900 and the external stone walls are likely to lack modern insulation. The EPC is E and council tax banding is high (Band G), so buyers should factor running and improvement costs into their budget.
This is a rural location with easy access to Axbridge, Wedmore and the M5, attractive for commuters seeking country life with good local schools. The house will suit buyers who value historic character and generous outside space and who are prepared to invest in energy improvements or cosmetic updating where they see fit.
