Hill Lane, Weston In Gordano, BS20

A delightful Grade II listed thatched 17th century cottage set in beautiful secluded south facing gardens and grounds of approximately 2 acres, with a former coach house within the estate.

The Old Thatch is an idyllic chocolate-box cottage dating from 1649 with a recently converted barn providing ancillary accommodation. The main property is charming, arranged over two floors and includes period features such as an inglenook fireplace, beamed ceilings, flagstone floors and exposed stone walls. It has undergone a program of sympathetic modernisation under the current ownership since 2014 when the adjacent detached coach house was derelict. The light interior has a wonderful warm and friendly atmosphere and there are old oak internal doors with iron latch furniture. All rooms have a lovely view across to wooded hills.

The sitting room has a fireplace fitted with a gas fire of the appearance of a log burning stove, beamed ceiling and French windows open to a private courtyard area. The family room has an inglenook fireplace, window seat and shuttered windows. The bespoke kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a Belfast sink, wood painted units and a Rangemaster cooker. A utility room adjacent to the kitchen provides additional shelving/pantry area, space for a large fridge freezer, plumbing for washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The first floor has four bedrooms and a superb family bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower cubicle. Without a doubt one of the most striking features of this property is the outdoor space, with the garden areas surrounded by countryside and woodlands.

The former barn now provides additional accommodation and a stable to compliment the large paddock currently home to a flock of sheep. The property offers a high degree of versatility of usage to a purchaser, whether seeking to enjoy horticultural interests, earn additional income from renting out accommodation, lambing at easter, watching children learn to ride their first pony, collecting eggs from chickens living in the orchard, building a small-holding, or generally living The Good Life.
