Summary - THE COTTAGE HOLLY HILL BATCOMBE SHEPTON MALLET BA4 6BL
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Vaulted sitting room, studio and large landscaped gardens with rural views.
Period stone cottage with exposed timbers and vaulted sitting room
Set in one of Somerset’s most desirable villages, this four-bedroom period home combines generous character rooms with flexible living across two floors. The standout vaulted first-floor sitting room, exposed timbers and far-reaching countryside views create an impressive central space for family life and entertaining.
The ground floor kitchen/diner is practical and sociable, with flagstone and oak floors and scope to reconfigure into a self-contained annexe thanks to separate external doors. Upstairs offers a principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling, a well-equipped bathroom and a quirky mezzanine bedroom with a ‘crow’s nest’ overlooking the sitting room. A cedar-clad garden studio, fully insulated with natural sheeps-wool, extends living space and makes a useful home office or hobby room.
Outside, the landscaped, large plot provides a raised terrace, wrap-around deck and mature planting for privacy and outdoor living. Practical features include off-road parking, an integral garage with light, power and water, and additional shed storage. Local village amenities and good schools are within easy reach, while the property sits on attractive walking country.
Important practical points: the house is oil-fired with private drainage, very slow fixed-line broadband locally (Starlink equipment is in situ), and there is no mobile signal. The building dates from before 1900 and walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so purchasers should allow for ongoing maintenance and potential energy-efficiency upgrades. There is a medium flood risk noted for the area.
