Outdoors
Witty Fox Cottage is embraced by a stone wall to the front and wooden fencing to the side separating it from its neighbours. The front, West facing garden is mainly laid to lawn for ease of maintenance and accessed via a wrought iron gate onto a pathway which leads directly to the front door of the property and to the small patio which sits under the kitchen window.
A short walk from the front of the property is the private parking area, at the bottom of Bruton High Street, which is where the garage, converted from a historic barn with wooden beams, double doors, pitched roof, and parking space to the front is located. The rear of the property is accessed via an arched entranceway into a courtyard and whilst privately owned, allows access for remedial works.
