This attractive and versatile detached cottage has a good range of accommodation including ground floor 1 bed annexe, whilst the main house accommodation in brief comprises a 24' sitting room with inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, 24' dining room with French windows onto the southerly facing garden, fitted kitchen/breakfast room with built-in appliances including oven, hob, hood, fridge and washing machine, further to this is a separate cloakroom. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, leading off the sitting room on the ground floor, but with its own outside access is the annexe which comprises, a 17' kitchen/living room with fitted work surface with cupboards, cooker space with filter hood etc, bedroom and ensuite shower room. The property benefits from oil fired central heating and the majority of the windows are double glazed.

Outside, access is via a five bar gate to the property entering onto a driveway with turning and parking space for several cars leading to a single garage with power and light connected. Adjoining this is a useful wooden store/garden shed also with power and light connected. The gardens lie on three sides to the property, to the right is a lawn with greenhouse, ponds and a useful field shelter/store measuring 19' x 11'. This area also features small kitchen garden which could be further developed if required.

To the rear are formal gardens with mainly lawn with inset flower and shrub beds and a number of mature trees and hedging. To the far side is a mostly clear former wooded area of just under an acre giving further open space with potential for livestock and recreation etc.

The remainder of the land rises up the hill on the south side of the property beyond the gardens and comprises mixed woodland, largely preserved for many years and providing a good range of flora and fauna to observe. It is this feature of the property with its large wooded area that provides excellent scope for those seeking peace and seclusion while enjoying the best that nature provides in its natural state. As well as offering a replenishable fuel source and potential for many outdoor pursuits, the location provides local access to many inter-connected footpaths providing good scope for country walks and dog walking as well as within the wider Blackdown Hills area, a range of bridle paths providing walking, riding and mountain biking country. Locally the villages of Hemyock and Churchinford between which the property is almost equidistant provides good local amenities including primary schooling, shops, post office, church, public house etc. The county town of Taunton lies a surprisingly convenient distance providing senior schooling facilities of either State or Private as well as mainline rail station and M5 J25. This
property provides a rare opportunity to live the good life within a relatively peaceful and rural environment with the space to enjoy and we heartedly recommend a viewing.
