Church Street, Blackford, Wedmore, BS28

Description

An absolute gem of a character cottage which has been sympathetically refurbished from top to bottom, combining modern comforts with period features throughout, creating the perfect home for anyone looking to move in and unpack.

Some of the appeal of this cottage is that it maintains its charm and country cottage feel whilst benefitting from well-proportioned, light rooms.

The welcoming hallway, with wood-effect ceramic flooring leads to a well-proportioned sitting room with fabulous inglenook fireplace and contemporary wood burning stove. A further spacious reception room with open fire, provides ample space for a dining table.

At the rear of the cottage the kitchen has been lovingly renovated in a fresh, contemporary style incorporating an induction hob, integrated dishwasher, ovens and sleek, custom-built units topped with Corian worktops. Stunning porcelain floor tiles and metro wall tiles complete the look.

The rear hall leads to the back garden and into the utility room which has ample space for white goods and the storage of coats and muddy boots.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is spacious and airy and incorporates inbuilt storage and an ensuite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, each decorated in a neutral palette and served by a substantial family bathroom, complete with a contemporary bathroom suite with bath, separate walk-in shower and vanity unit.

Outside

The pretty, secluded cottage garden has been terraced in natural stone to incorporate a paved sun terrace, well stocked raised flower beds and lawn. Attached to the property is a substantial shed which houses the oil tank whilst proving plenty of additional storage space. To the far side of the neighbouring property is the two-storey garage belonging to Ivy Cottage. Built in stone with wooden coach house doors, this versatile space is a great asset to the property and would suit anybody requiring extra space which could serve as a studio or music room.

Agent note: Part of the property is flying freehold
