A beautifully presented, extended four bedroom semi-detached cottage, boasting a plethora of character and expansive countryside views, set on the edge of Wells in the delightful village of West Horrington. EPC rating E.
Set upon an enviable elevated position on the outskirts of Wells, this wonderful cottage has undergone considerable improvements throughout including a sizeable extension, making it a versatile four bedroom family home with generous living space. In total, the property offers four good size bedrooms, a stylish fitted kitchen/ breakfast room, an open sitting/dining room, a utility room and a family bathroom. The property is accessed from the front via a handy slate floor porch, which in turn opens up into the spacious, dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room. From here, you can enjoy a pleasant outlook of both the front and rear gardens, whilst also making the most of the fitted log burner. The kitchen area is well appointed with a comprehensive range of wooden fronted wall and base cabinets, a ceramic sink inset into the worktop, as well as a range cooker with extractor hood overhead. The kitchen has an adjoining breakfast area with ample space for a dining table and chairs, creating an ideal family set up, whilst to the right of the kitchen is the utility room offering a separate sink and space for white goods, as well as further storage. A rear door accesses the garden. To the left of the home is the cosy dual aspect living/dining room which boasts plenty of charm and character, including a brick exposed feature fireplace and wooden flooring. Making your way upstairs the property has a good size double bedroom to the front with a secondary rear bedroom overlooking the garden. There are two further bedrooms to the right also looking to the rear. All bedrooms have been tastefully decorated and include features such as exposed brick, cast iron fireplaces and wood panelled walls between them, as well as stripped panel, solid oak latch doors and some with oak flooring. All four bedrooms are served by the modern white and light grey bathroom suite, with a walk-in shower unit, fitted roll top bath, wash hand basin and W.C. The bathroom has been attractively tiled, complemented by half height wall panels and a chrome towel radiator. The double glazed windows were replaced in 2019.
The highly sought after village of West Horrington lies only a few minutes' drive to the north east of Wells and boasts one of the area's most popular primary schools (within walking distance). Wells itself is England's smallest Cathedral City, well known for its beautiful architecture and of course the stunning Cathedral. The High Street is well represented by both national and independent retailers and there is a twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square. There is secondary schooling at The Blue School as well as Wells Cathedral School, and Millfield School in Street is within easy striking distance. Wells, and in particular West Horrington, are also accessible to both Bath and Bristol. Served by public transport to Bath and Wells. The nearest train station is at Castle Cary which has a direct service to London Paddington, as does Bath. Easy walking distance to Wells golf and cricket clubs.
Externally, to the rear of the property is a beautifully landscaped rear garden that enjoys a sunny, easterly aspect and far reaching enviable views towards Glastonbury and over the local countryside. The garden boasts a large, neatly maintained lawn area and a range of pretty mature bushes and flora providing plenty of seasonal colour. Additionally, there is a raised deck seating area which is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, as well as an additional shingle seating area. There is also an attractive stone-built outbuilding within the garden, suitable for multiple uses. To the side of the house there is the driveway, which is owned by 1 Middle Farm Cottages, with the detached house located behind having a right of access across, into a fully gated and enclosed parking area. 1 Middle Farm Cottages has off-road parking available at the rear of the property, and to one side of the driveway, directly in front of the garage. There is scope to extend this parking into a further part of the garden, if desired. At the front of the cottage, the garden is well established with lawn and mature shrubs and is enclosed by stone walling, with steps leading to the front porch.
