This deceptively spacious three bedroom period cottage is situated in the heart of Bruton just a short walk from the High Street amenities. This delightful home has been recently extended and tastefully refurbished to a high standard blending modern day living with charm and character. Downstairs, there is a cosy sitting room that leads through to a stunning open plan kitchen/dining/living room which forms the hub of the house providing an impressive versatile living space, complete with a stylish fitted kitchen with fully integrated appliances and an island/breakfast bar. Having been fitted with Velux windows and  bi-folding doors the room enjoys an abundance of natural light, and leads out to the patio and garden, providing the perfect space for entertaining and alfresco dining. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, one with an original fireplace, and a newly fitted en-suite bathroom.  On the second floor there a spacious master bedroom with wonderful views across the garden and beyond, useful built in eaves storage, and a modern ensuite shower room, Venturing outside, to the rear of the property is a terrace with two good size sheds/outbuildings, and steps lead to a large enclosed rear garden laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees and shrubs and ample space for vegetable and flower gardens. From the garden there are outstanding views over Bruton town towards the Dovecote and countryside beyond. We highly recommend an internal viewing of the delightful home which is offered for sale with no forward chain.

LOCATION: Bruton is a small ancient South Somerset town nestling in the foothills of Brue Valley surrounded by unspoilt countryside. The town has retained great charm over the years with many interesting and historical buildings which defines its character. The main industries are agriculture and education with three schools in Bruton. King's School, founded in 1519, Sexey's School and a primary school. Bruton has many thriving groups and societies including a Festival of Arts, Horticultural Show, musical and theatrical productions. It is also now well known by the establishment of the renowned Hauser & Wirth Art Gallery and Mill on the Brue Outdoor Activity Centre. The town has a small range of shops and a range of public houses and restaurants including the award winning 'At the Chapel'. Further local attractions include the National Trust Stourhead House and gardens and The Newt gardens and spa hotel.  There are many other charming towns nearby which together offer a wide range of shopping, cultural and sporting activities. These include Castle Cary, Wincanton, Sherborne, Shaftesbury and Wells with Bath, Bristol and Salisbury all being in easy reach. Communications are good with a small rail station in Bruton and mainline services at Castle Cary (Paddington) and Sherborne (Waterloo).
