A truly delightful period cottage of immense character and charm, which is Listed Grade II, set in well stocked cottage gardens just off the centre of this popular Somerset village.

The Cottage is Listed Grade II and has enjoyed a long and varied history and is believed to be one of the oldest properties in the village, dating back as early as 1500s. Originally a two bay hall house, opened up to the roof with no first floor, it is possible that at some time in the 1600s a first floor was added with windows inserted into the thatch. The Cottage offers surprisingly spacious accommodation expected in a larger farmhouse and boasts many features expected of its age. A pretty entrance porch leads into the dining hall with a plank and muntin screen, beamed ceiling and a staircase rising to the first floor. The drawing room has endless character with the reverse side of the plank and muntin screen with the inscription RN1686-TV1710. The ceiling beam has an intriguing carving believed to be master carvers. The inglenook fireplace has a fine Bressemer beam and an open grate. A door leads to the secondary turning staircase and has a small, bible cupboard. The sitting room lies on the other side of the dining hall, also has a fine inglenook fireplace with a Clearview woodburning stove, a bread oven and space to one side believed to have been originally the smoking chamber. There is a modern, well designed fitted desk, wall shelves and the opening leads into the garden room, once believed to be a stable, provides an excellent reception room with French doors out onto the front terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room lies to the rear of the house, has a two oven gas fired AGA and additional double oven and grill. There are ample wall and floor mounted cupboards and ample room for a breakfast table. There is an offset walk in pantry with ample shelves and a Worcester wall mounted combi-boiler. The rear hall leads to the shower room, having a Mira shower, wc and wash hand basin and then onto the utility/boot room with a deep sink, built in cupboards, plumbing for washing machine and a door to the garden.

The staircase leads to the first floor landing, with a few steps up to the guest bedroom with wash hand basin, south facing window and built in wardrobe cupboards. The slightly smaller bedroom has an intriguing ceiling frieze and has lovely outlooks over the front garden. The inner landing also leads to the bathroom with a panelled bath, a shower, wc and wash hand basin. The principal bedroom has a number of exposed ceiling timbers, linen cupboard and built in wardrobe cupboards and door to the staircase down to the drawing room.
