A charming stone-built double fronted cottage set in the heart of a sought-after Mendip village, brimming with character dating back to the 1800s. The property offers a deceptive size and versatile layout along with an adaptable detached garage, creating a warm and welcoming home ideal for a growing family.

Set back from the A37 through the well-served Mendip village of Gurney Slade - an ideal location for commuters travelling to Bath, Bristol or Wells - this fabulous cottage has been lovingly maintained since its purchase in 1994 and thoughtfully extended to create a generous family home. The property has also benefited from new doors and windows in recent years.

The accommodation begins with the front entrance opening into a spacious sitting room, featuring exposed wooden beams and a multi-fuel stove fireplace, which can also run the central heating and hot water independently. A door from the sitting room leads into the dining room, which could equally serve as a home office. This room features a period-style fireplace, wooden beams and open access to an inner hall with stairs rising to the first floor, a WC, and a door leading to the kitchen/breakfast room.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units, complementary worktops and splashbacks, space for appliances, and continues the characterful theme with exposed wooden beams. A door leads through to a useful utility room with rear access to the garden. Adjacent to the utility is a store with dual access to both the front and rear.

On the first floor, there are four bedrooms. The main bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom two benefits from built-in wardrobes, while bedroom three has a built-in wardrobe and a walk-in wardrobe/airing cupboard. A four-piece family bathroom with a separate shower cubicle completes the accommodation.

Externally, the front of the property is laid to gravel with a low-level wall and mature shrub. To the side, a driveway leads to a detached double garage with cavity wall insulation and a WC - offering excellent potential for conversion into an annex, home office or studio, subject to the necessary permissions.

The rear garden is arranged over several tiers, with the ground level laid to patio, ideal for outdoor entertaining. Steps lead up to a second tier with a fenced lawn area, which in turn rises to a further tier featuring a greenhouse, ponds and two storage sheds. There is also an additional shed to the side of the property housing the oil-fired central heating boiler.
