Offered for sale with no onward chain.
Nestled on the outskirts of South Horrington, just moments from scenic countryside walks and the golf course, and less than two miles from central Wells, Fire Engine Cottage is a characterful stone-built home offering idyllic country living. The property features three well-proportioned bedrooms, including an en-suite, generous reception areas, and stunning far-reaching views. The delightful walled rear garden includes a gate leading to a hidden footpath that borders open fields. With off-street parking and a single garage, this unique home is offered with no onward chain, making early viewing highly recommended.
About the inside:
The welcoming entrance hall features useful storage cupboards and a spacious cloakroom. At the heart of the home, the central reception/dining room boasts French doors opening onto the rear garden, and the staircase leading to the first floor. To the left, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room enjoys charming arched windows overlooking the garden. The classic country-style limed oak cabinetry is complemented by built-in electric ovens and a gas hob, while a separate pantry provides additional storage and plumbing for a washing machine.
At the opposite end of the property, the light-filled dual-aspect living room benefits from French doors opening onto the gravel courtyard. A traditional gas flame-effect fire serves as an inviting focal point, creating a cosy yet spacious atmosphere.
Upstairs, a generous landing provides access to three good-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the width of the cottage and includes built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. The family bathroom features a white suite with a shower over the bath.
The first-floor views take in the golf course and the wooded landscape beyond.
About the Outside:
Wrought iron gates lead into a charming gravel courtyard, enclosed by a low stone wall and landscaped with mature shrubs and trees. A single garage and a timber gate provide access to the rear garden, while the front of the property offers additional parking alongside a lawned area and a path leading to the tiled porch.
The rear garden, accessed via stone steps from the dining room, is primarily laid to lawn, with a paved terrace beneath a timber pergola, enhancing the striking curved stone wall. A variety of established shrubs and espaliered trees provide year-round colour and interest. A discreet timber door at the end of the garden opens onto a hidden footpath that follows the edge of the adjacent field towards Frome Road.
