Combe Batch, Wedmore, BS28

A little treasure of a ‘chocolate box’ cottage, hidden away from bustling village life, packed with the charm and character of a bygone era, with three bedrooms, study, sitting room, dining room and kitchen, enjoying a fabulous private garden and benefitting from enviable driveway parking.

The original cottage, built in the 1800s, was refurbished and extended in the 1990s to accommodate a study, principal bedroom and ensuite, over a spacious sitting room with French doors to the beautiful garden. This reception room also has a feature fireplace with a gas coal-effect fire as a cosy focal point for cooler days when the French doors stay firmly shut. A second reception room is currently used as a dining room with ample space for a table and other furniture and has built-in understairs storage.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of country cottage-style base and wall units with contrasting work surfaces, a Belfast sink, double electric oven, gas hob and space for a dishwasher and fridge. There is an adjoining utility room with space and plumbing for further appliances and storage. The exterior door into the utility makes it a handy space for bringing in the shopping or somewhere to kick off boots and coats when returning from a muddy dog walk. The central entrance hall also has a useful coat cupboard which goes back under the stairs.

The three bedrooms and the study are upstairs. The principal suite has built-in wardrobes, an ensuite shower room, and enjoys lovely views over the garden and village beyond. The study is adjacent to the main bedroom and could be used as a dressing room. Two further double bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Outside, the stunning, private and tranquil cottage garden is landscaped creating colourful borders and flowerbeds interspersed around the lawn with paved pathways and terracing. A productive kitchen garden is served by a greenhouse and garden shed. A driveway off a private lane provides parking for one vehicle.
