This charming three-bedroom period cottage occupies a semi-rural position in the small friendly village of Horton on the slopes of the Blackdown Hills, just five miles north of Chard and two and a half miles from Ilminster.

The thatched property was renovated in 2016 and now offers a sympathetic blend of original features with modern convenient additions.

On the ground floor, the cosy sitting room has lovely square proportions and several fine features including an oak window seat, an inglenook fireplace with an electric wood burner, exposed beams and underfloor heating. The spacious kitchen/dining room has a free-flowing open-plan layout and features engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating and bi-fold doors that open out onto the large patio outside.

The kitchen has a modern classic look with a range of soft-touch, cream-coloured units, contrasting dark work surfaces, integrated appliances and a central island with a breakfast bar. A utility/cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a dual aspect and an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom also has an ensuite shower room.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden has been designed with low maintenance in mind and a large lawn, several mature trees and shrubs, and a good-sized patio immediately adjacent to the house. The garden benefits from far-reaching views of the neighbouring countryside.

The property is set well back from the road and is approached via a driveway with plenty of parking space for several vehicles. This leads to a detached garage, which has some potential to be converted into extra living space, subject to consents.
