This stone-built detached period cottage occupies a wide corner plot in a peaceful location just off the centre of Winsham, a vibrant and much sought-after village on the Somerset/Dorset border, surrounded by glorious countryside.

The market towns of Chard and Crewkerne are conveniently close, being within five and seven miles away, respectively.

The traditional village cottage has benefitted from a recent comprehensive refurbishment programme that has sympathetically combined the best of its original period charm and character with modern technology and enhancements. Now, the four-bedroom property is presented to a high standard throughout and offers versatile accommodation.

On the ground floor, there is a wide reception hallway/garden room that immediately creates a welcoming first impression. This leads to all the main reception rooms including a cosy living room with a central log burner and bay window, and onto a second sitting room with a double aspect and an exposed brick chimney breast housing a wood-burning stove. The room naturally flows to the outside space with direct access to the garden where there is a small, covered verandah. The kitchen/dining room sits at the heart of the home and is a light, bright room thanks to its triple aspect. The kitchen has a classic look and is fitted with pale-coloured units, wooden work surfaces and several integrated appliances.

A beautifully presented guest suite comprising a large double bedroom and a contemporary bathroom completes the ground floor and would be ideal for a dependent family member.

On the first floor level, there are two large double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a smart and modern shower room.

Outside, thoughtfully landscaped and well-tended gardens wrap around the property on all sides. The gardens provide year-round interest with well-stocked herbaceous borders, neat lawns and a private paved terrace together with a very useful summerhouse/workshop and a garden store.

At the front, the wide parking area can accommodate several vehicles.

The property comes with no onward chain.
