A characterful three bedroom detached stone cottage with beautiful views
overlooking the valley, and large gardens tucked away in a rural location
close to Oakhill.
About the property:
A deceptively spacious and delightful stone fronted period cottage retaining
many character features and enjoying generous light filled rooms overlooking a
large garden with stunning views across the valley. The property has been
extended and improved providing ideal family living in a peaceful and idyllic
setting. The garden includes a home office complete with woodburning stove,
and there is scope to create a holiday retreat in a secluded wooded area with
separate access subject to the usual planning.
About the inside:
The entrance opens into the large kitchen/dining room. This spacious room has
flagstone floors, hand built shaker style wooden kitchen units with solid
timber worktop incorporating an oil fired Aga and belfast sink. Windows to the
front and side allow plenty of natural light. A breakfast bar divides it from
the dining area which has wrap around windows and french doors opening onto
the terrace to take full advantage of the stunning countryside views.
The dining room flows past the stairs to the first floor and into the glass
roofed conservatory and into the sitting room. This dual aspect room has a
large inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and french doors onto the
terrace. Beautiful beams and polished floorboards add warmth and character. A
useful utility room/study has space and plumbing for a washing machine.
Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms with lovely countryside views and
the family bathroom with a corner bath and separate shower. The principal
bedroom enjoys an en - suite shower room.
About the outside:
The property is approached across a gravel drive with low stone walling. There
is a useful electric car charging point. Further up the road is an additional
area that could accommodate several cars.
Immediately to the rear of the cottage is a large paved terrace with minimal
fencing that makes the most of breathtaking views over the valley. The lawn
then sweeps down towards the home office that was built out of an old miners
cottage ruin. It features a wood burning stove, power, fast speed wifi,
landline, and security lights. Beautiful carved glazed doors and a sheltered
porch make this an attractive place to work from home. Further down the garden
there is a wilder wooded area enclosed by trees and hedgerow and would make an
ideal spot to build a holiday retreat. Separate access could easily be created
by reinstating a path that links to the parking bay that sits a few metres up
the road behind the cottage.
About the area:
Moorwood is a pretty hamlet just outside the village of Oakhill which lies to
the eastern end of the Mendip Hills within easy commuting distance of Bristol
and Bath, five miles from Wells and four miles from Shepton Mallet. The nearby
main line rail links are situated at Castle Cary, Bath and Bristol. Oakhill
enjoys a varying range of different age and style of properties with many
period and individual homes. Within the village there is a doctors’ surgery,
village churches, village hall and recreation field and two public houses, and
an excellent primary school whilst secondary schools are within easy reach. In
addition, The Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows, Bruton School for
Girls and Millfield are easily accessible.
