Description - Cider Barn is approached via a wooden gate off Dumpers Lane, which open onto a gravelled parking area, ample for 3 or 4 cars. A covered porch leads through a part glazed front door into a small entrance lobby. A spacious entrance hall leads to the kitchen with a range of fitted cupboards with wooden work surfaces with tiled splashbacks, an electric oven with gas hob with extractor over, plumbing for washing machine and a stainless-steel sink. The windows overlook the garden’s old apple tree and further gardens. The cosy sitting room has a wonderful stone fireplace with wooden mantel, inset log burning stove and was recently recarpeted in a neutral shade. On this floor there is a spacious storage cupboard and a handy cloakroom with WC, washbasin and airing cupboard. The Worcester gas combi boiler is located here.
There is a beautiful turned oak staircase lit by a Velux window, with a large storage cupboard half way up, leading to the first floor. There are two double bedrooms, both with neutral carpets and décor. The principal triple aspect bedroom has an arched feature window, a relic from the days when it was used as a Cider House, a round window and window overlooking the garden. The second bedroom has a big window overlooking the rear garden. The bathroom is decorated with pretty tiles and has a bath with rainfall shower over, WC and washbasin.
Outside - The spacious and tranquil gardens sit at just under an acre in area. It is mostly laid to lawn and leading down to the leat and river Chew at the far end. The garden is bordered by the old brick wall from the neighbouring manor house and post fencing. The Cider Barn was once an orchard and some of the apple trees still stand. There is a gorgeous dining area located under a mature Willow tree offering a shady place to relax, and a pretty dovecote. There are four raised vegetable beds, two bee hives and a useful shed.
Location - Cider Barn is just a stone’s throw from the centre of Chew Magna. For a short cut from the cottage, at the end of Dumpers Lane, you will come to a wooden footbridge. This leads over the stream and via a old stone bridge over the river Chew through to the High Street.
