Bemerton Cottage

Dating back to the 17th century Bemerton Cottage has no shortage of character charm; extensively renovated and extended by the current owners it now offers beautifully balanced, well-considered accommodation across three floors with the flexibility of open plan entertaining or more cosy, intimate spaces. The property connects beautifully to its surrounding level gardens, has generous parking, a garage and a good-size paddock with timber stable block.

A pretty approach provides access to the entrance hallway with flagstone flooring which extends into an inner hall with stairs to the first floor and doors into a cosy dual aspect sitting room with log-burning stove and exposed stone walls, and through to the snug. The snug also boasts a log-burning stove along with attractive stripped timber floor and opens into the quite spectacular 35' open plan family/dining room complete with its own well!

This open plan space has two large lantern roof lights, large windows and French doors connecting to the garden, along with herringbone parquet flooring, custom fitted storage and a further contemporary living-flame fire. The kitchen leads off of this room and in turn has doors connecting to the garden, along with a well-planned layout, an island, bespoke units and exposed beams. The kitchen and family room also benefit from underfloor heating. Adjacent to the kitchen you will find a good-size utility room and boot room.

Upstairs the master bedroom has a dual aspect, wonderful views and custom fitted storage, and sits alongside a contemporary family bathroom. Bedroom two is a good size, also with a dual aspect, and bedrooms three and four can be found on the floor above. The fifth bedroom is a charming room with its own staircase accessed from the entrance hallway, below which sits a modern and well-equipped shower room and further door leading to the rear garden. This unique layout lends itself particularly well to multi-generational living or for those requiring annexe accommodation.

Outside the property has generous gardens to all sides with a large patio leading from the kitchen for entertaining and from which to enjoy the splendid outlook. There is electric-gated parking for several vehicles and a useful garage with timber double doors. From the garden there is a five-bar gate which provides access to the 1.23 acre paddock with timber stable block.
