A rare opportunity to acquire this charming three bedroom attached stone cottage, enjoying a lane side position in the picturesque Somerset village of South Cheriton. The property was originally two cottages built in 1876, and later converted into one dwelling providing a spacious home set within an attractive landscaped garden.
Lovingly cared for and tastefully improved by the current owner over the past 14 years, the cottage seamlessly blends period charm with modern living. Enhancements include an extension to both the kitchen and sitting room, downstairs cloakroom, upgraded central heating system, modern bathroom suite, and a striking natural stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove.
The sitting room is a real highlight of the home, bright and welcoming with a triple aspect, including a lovely curved bay window that floods the room with natural light. Perfectly positioned between the kitchen and sitting room, the dining room offers a central hub for family life and entertaining.
The extended kitchen is both spacious and functional, boasting a comprehensive range of units, space for a range-style cooker, a dedicated utility area, and a useful boot room, ideal for busy households. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying a delightful triple aspect. The family bathroom has been updated to meet modern expectations.
Externally, a five-bar gate opens onto a gravelled parking area, leading to a substantial natural stone garage/workshop (16’5” x 16’) complete with electric door, lighting, and power, perfect for hobbyists or those needing additional storage or workspace. Beside the garage is a good sized log store.
To the rear of the cottage lies a secluded, paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining. Steps rise through colorful, well-stocked flower beds and borders to a large, gently sloping lawn, enclosed by traditional stone walls and fencing. The mature garden features several fruit trees, greenhouse and garden shed.
In summary, this delightful home effortlessly blends charm and character with modern convenience, making it a rare gem in a picturesque village setting.
