3 Bedrooms Link-detached house for sale in Bishopswood, Chard, Somerset TA20 | £ 260,000

Property Description

This double-fronted three bedroom character cottage is full of personality, and is tucked away in a popular village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Property
Willow Cottage has its own slightly eclectic style, very much a mix of period character and unique features added by the current owners over the past 19 years. If you like a house with its own personality then this one is well worthy of an internal viewing.

To the front, you enter the property through a useful timber double glazed entrance porch with room for a chair or two. This faces west and is a nice spot to sit in summer afternoons. A front door opens through into a homely front kitchen / living space which very much feels like the hub of the home. There's room for a nice size table and space around the open fire for your easy chairs. The inglenook fireplace to the other side of the room houses space for an electric cooker, and a unique copper work surfaces extends around to the Belfast style sink unit under the window. It's not a fitted kitchen as such but the sort of kitchen that suits a mix of freestanding eclectic units to suit your own needs. A glazed door leads down via steps to a living room with integrated bookshelves and a currently unused fireplace which could perhaps be opened up once again to incorporate a wood-burner should you wish. The rustic timber flooring in the kitchen, continues through into this room too. Double doors open through into a large UPVC conservatory which is very much an extra living room on the ground floor. It has UPVC double glazed windows to the triple aspect and sliding patio doors to the rear terrace. There is built-in storage incorporated into the rear wall of the cottage, and attractive white-wash style laminate flooring.

The staircase leads up from the corner of the kitchen to the first floor landing. There are two double bedrooms to the front of the cottage, one with a lovely original cast iron fireplace and the other with a useful built-in wardrobe.

To the rear is a later extension creating a master bedroom with double doors onto a Juliet balcony and velux window letting in natural light from the south side with plenty of privacy too. Across the landing is a nice size shower-room with double shower unit, electric shower and unique copper wash hand basin on period wash stand. Tucked away under a reclaimed timber work surface is space and plumbing for a washing machine. A single person Sauna is tucked into the corner and is also included in the sale. The property is heated via electric wall mounted panel heaters and hot water is provided via two electric boilers, one in the kitchen and another in the shower-room.

Outside
To the front of the cottage is an enclosed courtyard style garden bounded by a stone wall and picket gate. At the rear is an easterly facing terrace accessed via the conservatory.

Bishopswood is a popular village close to the Somerset / Devon border in the Blackdown Hills which are an area of outstanding natural beauty. There are miles of footpaths and bridleways for you to discover. The village itself has a well-respected Pub / Restaurant (The Candlelight Inn) which lies within an easy walk of the cottage. The village has excellent road links to the east and west via the A30 / A303 which is just a short drive away, whilst the county town of Taunton lies just 6 miles to the north.
