Accommodation
Accessed via a side entrance with a charming stable door, this characterful cottage features an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, seamlessly connected by a traditional flagstone floor. The sitting area boasts a feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove, a window to the side, and stairs leading to the first floor. A door opens into the dining room/lounge, which also benefits from a flagstone floor and a second fireplace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of handmade oak units with work surfaces over, offering space for an electric range cooker, washing machine, and upright fridge/freezer. A picture window at the kitchen end provides lovely views across the adjoining rural landscape.
Upstairs, the landing features a part-exposed stone wall and traditional ledge and brace doors leading to two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Positioned at opposite ends of the cottage, both bedrooms include built-in cupboards, with the rear-facing second bedroom enjoying far reaching views over the adjoining fields and down to the Meare Heath wildlife reserve. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite, including a panelled bath with a shower over, a wash hand basin, and a WC, completing the accommodation.
Outside
Accessed via off-road parking and a wooden gate, the property opens into a secluded courtyard garden with raised shrub beds, an all-weather lawn, and a covered area beneath the roof terrace—perfect for an outdoor kitchen or barbecue. A door to one side leads to open fields, while another opens into a covered passageway with access to the rear of a stone barn. Retaining original wooden beams and an exposed stone wall, the barn offers excellent potential for conversion into additional living space, an annexe, or a holiday let (subject to planning consents), but also retains the original wooden doors to the front, and could be utilised as a garage/workshop. The spacious roof terrace provides an ideal spot for al fresco dining, offering stunning views over the fields and down to the wildlife reserve beyond.
