Welcome to picturesque Melcombe Bingham, an idyllic village surrounded by gently undulating glorious countryside. This charming modern cottage with the prettiest of front gardens is well positioned within the village. Having pleasing brick, flint and rendered elevations under a recently re-thatched roof. The cottage has immense appeal nestling in the village further enhancing the village scene.

Stepping in through the front door, the inviting and social nature of the accommodation is immediately apparent with the open plan DINING HALL. This reception area readily accommodates a sizeable table for entertaining or family gatherings, plentiful natural light comes courtesy of the east facing window overlooking the front garden, and the village scape. A straight staircase ascends to the first floor, and an under-stair cupboard provides ever useful storage. Emphasising the social appeal of the charming accommodation are twin sliding doors that glide open to the KITCHEN. The kitchen sink, with instant hot water appliance is ideally positioned under the window that perfectly frames views of the pretty rear garden. An array of cupboards and work surfaces along with integral Neff™ appliances including eye level oven, 5 burner hob (Calor) with fume hood over and a fridge/freezer make the space functional and inviting. Additionally, there is appliance space for a dishwasher, the Boulter ™ oil fired boiler and a door that leads outside to the generous sized drive and in turn to the garden.

Discreetly positioned off the dining hall is the combined ground floor CLOAKROOM / UTILITY ROOM featuring vanity unit with storage and countertop basin, W.C., with concealed cistern, plumbing for a washing machine with dryer space over, and natural light from the window. The SITTING ROOM is light and airy with window to the colourful front garden and double opening glazed doors flanked either side by windows open to the conservatory. The sitting room is centred around the pleasing and cosy open fireplace for those cooler evenings. The CONSERVATORY provides the perfect vantage spot to sit and survey the rear garden.

Venturing upstairs is the LANDING. From this central point panelled and latch doors (as elsewhere) radiate out to the three bedrooms and the bathroom. On a practical note, here there is the airing cupboard and access to the roof void. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM lies to the front of the cottage, enjoying the morning sun and having far reaching views. Built-in wardrobes provide storage options and there is an ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM comprising vanity unit with wash hand basin, W.C., and shower cubicle with both rainfall and shower attachments, natural light from the rear elevation window. BEDROOM TWO also lies to the fore of the cottage while BEDROOM THREE sits to the rear, both enjoying village and country views. Completing the modern character and well-presented accommodation is the BATHROOM/SHOWER ROOM, once again with a luxury modern suite comprising vanity unit with wash hand basin, W.C., with concealed cistern, Panelled bath and corner shower cubicle.

A paved path leads down the garden to a further seating and entertaining area.

To the North of the cottage is the brick paver drive providing OFF LANE PARKING for three cars approached from the lane by timber bi-fold farm style gate. The drive leads in turn to the generous CAR BARN with an adjacent store, offering ample space for vehicles and additional storage.
