Top Cottage

A truly unique detached residence nestled within the most idyllic of settings along the Quantock Hills. Occupying a plot of an acre with views towards Bridgwater Bay, this rare opportunity is not to be missed.

Greenslade Taylor Hunt are delighted to bring this rare opportunity to the market for the first time in over thirty years. Top Cottage is nestled within an idyllic and secluded setting atop the Quantock Hills, on the periphery on the ever-popular villages of Holford & Kilve. The home overlooks its own plot of an acre from almost every angle, with superb views beyond towards Bridgwater Bay.

Since its original construction in 1935, the home has been greatly extended and improved by just a small collection of owners. The four bedroom detached house which stands today is a wonderful example of a rural residence, perfectly suited to those looking to enjoy peace, serenity and privacy.

The internal accommodation is charming and spacious in all areas, whilst cleverly arranged over two floors. An entrance porch opens into the hallway, which leads to all areas with stairs leading to the first floor. A lounge sits firstly to the right, as an inviting and snug space, with a feature fireplace with gas fire inset and French doors leading outside. Across the width of the home to the rear you find a farmhouse style kitchen, with a Rayburn sat within a mock inglenook recess. The left side of the room is fitted with an array of wall and base units, whilst there is a useful larder behind an oak door. There is still an excellent size area for dining and enjoyment, perfect for modern family life, with French doors leading to the patio beyond.

Throughout the home exposed wood beams provide constant character. A study is found off the hallway, with dual aspect windows overlooking the driveway and neighbouring forrest. The ground floor accommodation is the completed with a utility room, with plumbing for a washing machine, a sink, a w/c and a door leading outside.

To the first floor a landing leads to four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is an exceptional space, with a wide range of fitted wardrobes, an en-suite with roll-top bath, and French doors leading to the balcony beyond. A perfect place for relaxation, the balcony enjoys an abundance of sunlight and offers a exceptional view across the rolling countryside towards Bridgwater Bay. The second bedroom is a sizeable double once again, benefitting from fitted wardrobes and yet another en-suite, this time fitted with a shower. The third bedroom is the final double, whilst the fourth is a single bedroom of good size. A family bathroom completes the internal accommodation, fitted with a bath and shower over, hand basin & lavatory.

Externally the plot extends to over an acre, encompassing a private driveway which leads to a parking area to the front, a paddock either side of the property itself and a mature yet easily managed garden surrounding the home. Offering huge flexibility for prospective purchasers, the plot could be used for a wide range of purposes if desired, whilst often receiving visits of stunning wildlife, such as deer. A patio sits adjoining the kitchen / family room, again looking towards the bay, with areas of lawn to be enjoyed. To the end of the driveway is a sizeable outbuilding, fitted with both light and power. A workbench is found to the far side, with the space being hugely useful for a variety of purposes. A second outbuilding can be found adjoining the home, which is currently utilised as a gym. This area again boasts light and power.

Top Cottage, which is found deep within the heart of this area of natural beauty, should be viewed to be truly appreciated.

The property is burrowed within this area of natural beauty, on the periphery of the popular villages of Holford & Kilve. Both villages offer reputable pubs serving locally renowned food, whilst Kilve offers a corner shop, village hall and cricket club, whilst the famous Kilve beach is nearby.
