A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a four - bedroom property set in the
highly desirable village of Chewton Mendip. Spring Cottage is a Grade 2 listed
cottage set in the heart of the village and is renowned for its white
flowering wisteria on the front of the property. The interior is presented to
a high standard with an array of character features, and benefits from a
beautiful and private south - facing rear garden.
Leading off the entrance porch are two reception rooms. To the right, the
spacious sitting room features exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with
woodburner, and a (non - working) bread oven. Double doors open onto the dining
area, with table space for 6 - 8 people, and windows overlooking the garden. The
second reception room is currently being used as an office and sitting room
and features exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and a further woodburner, and
a large area for the storage of coats and shoes which can be conveniently
accessed from the entrance porch.
The bright kitchen features a double Belfast sink with wooden worktops and
dishwasher to the right, and a double Rangemaster, fitted units, and wooden
and granite worktops to the left. A separate utility room has plumbing for
washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge - freezer, a large walk - in
cupboard/pantry, and a WC and sink.
The first floor comprises four bedrooms and a good - sized family bathroom. The
principal bedroom extends the width of the house and benefits from exposed
beams, an en - suite shower room, and three windows which overlook the garden.
The second double features a large integrated wardrobe, tertiary glazing and
exposed beams. The additional two bedrooms have space for double beds and the
larger benefits from a fitted wardrobe. Fitted cupboards and bookshelves on
the first floor provide extra storage.
Access to the south - facing garden is via the kitchen. A good - sized lawn leads
down to a pretty stream and well - established trees, and the garden contains an
array of mature shrubs, roses, elderflower, ceanothus and raised flower beds.
A paved area outside the kitchen is perfect for alfresco dining and leads to
two stone outbuildings, one of which is fitted with strip lighting, electrical
sockets and the gas boiler. A large wooden outbuilding further down the garden
is used for the storage of bikes, garden furniture and lawnmowers.
Street parking is located directly opposite the front door, where the current
