A charming period cottage now in need of updating, set within large private gardens, enjoying river frontage and views of the Somerset Levels.

This attractive period cottage is believed to date back to the late 19th Century and is of red brick and Blue Lias stone elevations under a pitched tiled roof. The accommodation in brief comprises an entrance hall which leads to a dining room on the right with and parquet flooring. An opening leads through the sitting room with bay window overlooking the gardens and an archway gives access to a conservatory. To the rear is a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor, a bathroom and kitchen/breakfast room with utility off. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a family shower room. Due to the size of the plot the property has scope for enlargement should you wish (STP) and has the potential to create a superb family home.

The property is set back from the main road enjoying a private tucked away location adjoining the River Tone. Curload lies within the village of Stoke St Gregory which is on the edge of the Somerset Levels- an area famous for its withy beds and basket making and designated as an environmentally sensitive area. Close by is the village of North Curry and between them, North Curry and Stoke St Gregory provide a range of local facilities including post offices, primary schools, general stores, health centre and churches. A variety of pubs can be found in the area, serving excellent food including the renowned Firehouse at Curry Rivel and more locally, The King Alfred Inn. A more comprehensive range of amenities are available in the County Town of Taunton about ten miles away including excellent state and independent schools, theatre, County Cricket Ground and railway station with frequent services to London Paddington. The M5 motorway is extremely accessible with Junction 25 only 7.5 miles from the property. There are numerous, all-year round attractions with the nearby Willows and Wetland Centre and a number of National Trust properties. Excellent walking can be enjoyed along the droves and the many footpaths in the area.

The property is approached over a private driveway which is shared and leads to a gravelled parking and turning area for several cars. Here access can be gained to a detached double garage and a workshop. Adjacent is a former vegetable garden which is now down to grass with two glass houses to the side. A garden path leads to the cottage, flanked on either side by beautiful flower beds, along with an ornamental fish pond and sun terrace. Lawns adjoin the front and side of the house, all of which are contained within timber fencing and block walling.
