A charming 3 bedroom detached period cottage quietly tucked away in this popular village with views over its own beautiful garden and fields beyond. EPC: Band E
Thought to be at least 200 years old, this delightful character property is built with stone and rendered elevations set beneath a tiled main roof and is presented in excellent order throughout. Entering through the front porch, you step into light double aspect dining room with wood burning stove and sliding doors into a conservatory that overlooks the garden and countryside beyond. The sitting room is also double aspect with a pretty brick and stone fireplace with inset wood burner and garden views. A well fitted kitchen leads to a rear lobby with cloakroom, access to the garden and to the integral garage/utility room. At first floor level are two double bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, both with superb views, a third single bedroom and smart bathroom. Gas fired central heating is installed together with uPVC double glazing.
The cottage occupies a peaceful, private location on the edge of the sought after village of Tatworth and South Chard close to the Somerset/Devon border an within easy reach of West Dorset. Local amenities include a primary school, general store/post office, social club and church whilst the nearby towns of Chard and Axminster both offer excellent day to day facilities. Axminster, some 5 miles South, benefits from an intercity rail link (London Waterloo) and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast is just 10 miles away at Lyme Regis with its iconic Cobb and a range of boutique shops.
From the public highway a gravelled track leads to a pair of double gates that access the garden with a lovely West facing paved terrace adjoining the house. Sloping gently downhill, there is a large lawned area, abundantly stocked herbaceous borders, fruit trees and soft fruit and a neat vegetable plot with a greenhouse, summerhouse and small workshop. Beyond the main garden with access from the adjoining footpath is an enclosed kitchen garden.
