A charming and beautifully renovated detached cottage, set in a most peaceful village setting. Wonderful gardens amounting to 0.35 acre with high specification shepherds hut and driveway parking.
If you are looking for complete tranquillity, privacy and seclusion, this is the property for you. Built in the mid 1800’s of stone elevations under a tiled roof, the cottage has the immense benefit of not being Listed and in recent years, has been subject to extensive and sympathetic refurbishment to a very high standard. The setting is also a key salient feature, located away from all passing traffic and yet only a short distance to village amenities and key towns.
The good sized accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and character features include: bay seating, inglenook fireplace with wood burner and cottage doors. The ceiling heights are very good for a cottage of this type and the triple aspect kitchen allows a wonderful outlook to the garden. From the rear of the property, there are lovely views overlooking the grounds and countryside beyond.
With a generous net floor area of over 1000 Sq ft, it briefly extends to:
Ground floor- entrance hall, double aspect sitting room with under-stairs cupboard and inglenook fireplace, open plan dining room and good sized kitchen with handmade units and sliding doors to garden.
First floor- landing, good sized triple aspect main bedroom, well proportioned second double bedroom with beautifully styled bathroom.
An extension to the accommodation is the versatile Shepherds Hut positioned at the end of the garden. The vendors have transformed the hut into a fabulous office with broadband connected. The hut has a wonderful feature wood burner and would also serve as a guest bedroom or even offer income potential.
Writh Cottage would make the perfect full time home, weekend/holiday retreat or letting opportunity. Subject to relevant permissions, there is also great opportunity to further extend.
Writh Cottage lies on the edge of the village of Alweston which itself lies a short distance to the south of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil. The village boasts ‘The Elms’ farmhouse kitchen and café and also a village hall to its centre. There is a shop, petrol station and public house nearby in Bishops Caundle, whilst both Sherborne and Yeovil provide an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities.
OUTSIDE
The gardens are quite beautiful both in layout and surroundings. To the side of the property is a driveway with parking for two cars. To the rear, the sunny south facing garden has an adjoining terrace, low retaining walls and steps up to a large lawn, framed with a variety of trees, a relay of flowering shrubs, and an attractive outlook over open fields.
SERVICES
Mains Electric and Water. Septic tank drainage. Oil central heating. Tenure Freehold. Council Tax Band E.
