Set within the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this secluded four-bedroom home combines preserved character with contemporary fittings. The cottage offers generous reception space, a large modern kitchen with island and integrated Neff appliances, and an expansive conservatory with a log-burning fireplace that opens directly onto a very private rear garden. The plot is large and lawned with mature planting and two outbuildings offering scope for conversion subject to consents.
Practical details are straightforward: no onward chain, fast broadband, no flood risk, and off-road parking plus two garages (one accessed via a nearby bridleway). Heating is by an oil-fired boiler with radiators; the property is stone-built with assumed insulation and double glazing installed after 2002. The house totals about 2,262 sq ft and sits in a very low crime, affluent rural village with good local schools and road links to Bristol and the M5.
Notable points for buyers: tenure is currently unknown and council tax is described as expensive — these should be clarified early in the process. The heating relies on oil (not a community system), which may concern some buyers. One garage is reached via rights of access over a bridleway and the main garage has a manual up-and-over door. While much has been modernised internally, further work would be required to convert outbuildings into habitable annex accommodation, and any such plans will need planning and building-consent checks.
Overall, Brookside Cottage will suit families or those seeking a countryside retreat with character and entertaining space, who are comfortable with oil heating and wish to explore further improvement or outbuilding conversion potential. Its combination of privacy, plot size and flexible accommodation makes it a rare find in this sought-after village setting.
