About the property:
An 18th century detached cottage with later extensions offering good sized
living accommodation and plenty of period features including exposed beams and
large inglenook fireplaces. The property does require some updating and has
three reception rooms in addition to a recently built conservatory, four
bedrooms and two bathrooms. A landscaped garden wraps around three sides and
there is also a double garage and driveway parking.
About the inside:
Entering the property through the conservatory you are welcomed into the
entrance hall which is open to the large fitted kitchen, with a quarry tiled
floor, oil fired Rayburn and a door to the rear. The triple aspect dining
room, part of a 1970s extension, has polished wooden floorboards and French
doors into the conservatory. The original part of the cottage has a cosy dual
aspect sitting room with a large stone fireplace at each end, one housing a
woodburning stove. Behind this fireplace is the study, again with a feature
inglenook fireplace which could be reopened, and exposed beams.
From the entrance hall stairs lead up to a spacious landing with doors to
three of the four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is triple aspect with views
across open countryside to Chew Valley lake. There is also a single bedroom
and a shower room. The third bedroom, with exposed beams and pretty cottage
windows has a further door which leads into the large Jack and Jill family
bathroom. From here a door takes you to another landing with access to the
fourth bedroom, a lovely double room with exposed floorboards. An open tread
staircase leads back down to the sitting room.
About the outside:
The cottage has a private driveway which leads to a useful double garage. The
drive then takes you up to the main house. The established mature garden is
terraced and wraps around the front and side offering a number of lawns,
flowerbeds and a raised patio taking in the views of the countryside.
About the area:
Quarry Cottage is situated near the popular and charming village of West
Harptree on the northern edge of the Mendip Hills and close to the Chew
Valley. Within the village there is a strong community with a well - known
village shop bakery. There is also a church, village hall, two public houses,
a dentist, doctor’s surgery and beauticians. The Chew Valley and Blagdon lakes
are close by, notable for their fishing, birdlife, sailing and nature study
amenities. The Mendip Hills, well known for their limestone features, provide
a wide range of informal leisure opportunities.
The property is ideally located for those commuting to Bristol, Bath and the
local market towns. The regional centre of Bristol is 12 miles to the north
