Guildhall Lane, Wedmore, BS28

Sensitively combining the charm, beauty, and period features of a period cottage with immaculate style and contemporary comfort, this central village, three-bedroom home, with garden and parking, is a hidden gem.

Behind the beautiful stone façade is a stunning living space featuring wooden beams, exposed brick and stonework, flagstone floors and original fireplaces which blend seamlessly with the modern oak and white finish. The two reception rooms are separated by a fabulous feature wall of leaded windows set in oak and exposed brickwork. Both rooms have log burning stoves, one housed in a lovely inglenook fireplace in the sitting room and the other (possibly by separate negotiation) set in a smaller fireplace in the dining room. The kitchen has flagstone flooring running throughout, which also connects the reception rooms the office and the conservatory. Beautifully finished with wall and base units in a neutral palette with granite and wooden worksurfaces, the kitchen houses an aga, a wine cooler and a microwave, and incorporates a breakfast bar. The flagstones also run through to the front door where there is a cloakroom. The living space includes a study which has a side door leading out to the terrace, and a conservatory with French doors to the rear. The three bedrooms, each with their own charm and character, are upstairs. The master bedroom has beams, beautiful wooden doors, fitted wardrobes and a fabulous ensuite shower room with WC and wash-hand basin. The dressing room has a charm of its own, with exposed brickwork and an unusual arched doorway. The second double bedroom has exposed brickwork, a leaded window to the landing and a cupboard built into the side of the ‘wedding cake’ chimney breast. Bedroom three has fabulous exposed stonework, high ceilings and a dressing area. Even the main bathroom blends cottage character with contemporary style, housing a claw foot bath, large walk-in shower, WC and wash-hand basin.

Outside

A beautifully designed block-paved driveway provides parking for a couple of vehicles and access to the front of the cottage. The garden is level and landscaped with shingle and paved pathways, with a central lawn surrounded by high mature hedging. To the side there is gated access to the private paved terrace where the current owners have a hot tub (by separate negotiation) and seating area. The paving follows the perimeter of the cottage, leading to the conservatory and along the rear of the property to a useful stone shed.
