Property description
A charming two bedroom cottage with immense potential, set in an idyllic location just a stones throw from Bruton High Street.
5 MILL DAM, BRUTON, BA10 0AU
Accommodation
The property was purchased in 1999 by the current owners, and lovingly restored to sympathetic and exacting standards creating a fabulous home which has been much loved ever since. It is charming and totally unique, enjoying arguably one of the most idyllic plots in all of Bruton. This is a home which could be lived in all year round, but equally would make an ideal countryside bolt-hole. In addition, the property could even be extended to create a larger home given the size of the surrounding grounds. Any extension would of course be subject to planning permission.
*
On the ground floor there is a stylish open plan kitchen dining and living room with stone tiled flooring, exposed beams, and a wood burning stove. The kitchen has fitted units with solid wood worktops, an electric Range cooker, and Belfast sink.A wood panelled staircase rises to two characterful double bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms both enjoy lovely outlooks and the bathroom has a bath, basin and w/c.
Outside
From Mill Dam, a gate opens into the gardens of the property where you are instantly greeted with a flourish of colour. Notably that of the flowering wisteria adorning the stone elevations. The gardens are an oasis with immense varieties of flowers and shrubs filling the grounds with meandering pathways in between. They gently roll down to Coombe Brook which runs along the entire length of the boundary, adding to the sensory experience. Outside the front door, there is a raised terrace enjoying a complete sun trap position. By the terrace there are several useful storage sheds and an outside loo. Away from the house, at the far end of the garden there is further scope to erect a studio, summer house or workshop, subject to the necessary permissions.
About the area
Bruton is a small historic town in the foothills of the Brue Valley, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside a few miles north of Castle Cary and in easy reach of Wincanton, Yeovil, Sherborne, Glastonbury, Frome, Wells and Bath. The town has a railway station, which is the Bristol-Weymouth line, with a further regular service to Bath Spa. There are also good Inter-City services at nearby Castle Cary (Paddington). Bruton dates back to Roman times and today is a charming small town with various shops and amenities, including the "The Newt in Somerset" plus 'Hauser & Wirth' Art & Exhibition Gallery, the 'Osip', the ever popular dining experience 'At The Chapel', and of course an excellent choice of schools including Bruton School for Girls, King's School, Sexey's School and Sunny Hill Prep to name a few. Other nearby schools worth mentioning are Millfield, Hazelgrove, Downside and All Hallows.
*
Further amenities within the town include a doctors surgery, vet, pharmacy, post office, several convenience stores, petrol station and many independent shops and cafés. The surrounding countryside is stunning with nearby national trust walks at Stourhead House and Gardens plus further pursuits at Babington House and as mentioned: The Newt gardens.
