Property description

Tucked away in a tranquil rural hamlet, 904 Downhead is a beautifully restored period cottage offering a perfect blend of character and contemporary comfort. With three bedrooms, a further study/guest bedroom, and an open-plan kitchen/dining area.

The property sits within generous wraparound gardens of 0.42 acres and enjoys uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. Offered for sale with no onward chain.


Property Overview:
Set on the edge of a peaceful community, this semi-detached cottage is full of charm and features well-balanced living spaces both inside and out.

The property benefits from extensive gardens that back onto open fields, offering a high degree of privacy and rural serenity.

Although now lapsed, previous planning permission had been granted for a two-storey extension, allowing scope for further enhancement if desired.

About the Inside:
A welcoming porch leads into a cosy living room, where oak flooring flows throughout the ground floor, complementing the rustic stone fireplace and wood-burning stove. A separate study, with views over the rear garden, provides a quiet space to work or an ideal guest bedroom.

The dining room, also with its own wood-burning stove, connects seamlessly to the light-filled kitchen/breakfast room. Vaulted ceilings, French doors, and stone floor tiles create an inviting space, continuing through to a well-equipped utility room and a modern ground floor bathroom.

Upstairs, the spacious principal bedroom enjoys views across the front lawn and includes built-in wardrobes. Two additional single bedrooms and a separate WC complete the first floor.

About the Outside:
Accessed via a gravel driveway and five-bar gate, the landscaped front garden boasts mature trees and shrubs, creating a welcoming and private entrance. To one side, a greenhouse and potential vegetable patch enjoy open views across adjacent fields.

A paved terrace at the front of the cottage offers a sunny spot for morning coffee, while the lightly tiered rear garden provides plenty of opportunities for keen gardeners, overlooking a peaceful wooded stream.

A decked area to the side is ideal for outdoor entertaining or a hot tub, with convenient access to a separate boiler room.

About the area:

Downhead is a pretty hamlet located between the market towns of Frome and Shepton Mallet which provide a range of independent shops, restaurants and theatres. Local primary schools can be found in nearby Leigh on Mendip and Stoke St Michael and the renowned private school All Hallows nearby in Cranmore.

Bath (15 miles), Bristol (25 miles) and Wells (10 miles) are all within reach, and Frome, Bruton and Castle Cary offer direct rail links to London.
