Dinghurst Cottage

DESCRIPTION

Dinghurst Cottage is the perfect fusion of a period cottage with a recent vaulted, oak framed extension which provides exceptional views from its elevated position over the countryside to the Bristol Chanel and South Wales. Dinghurst Cottage was completely upgraded throughout in 2016, making this wonderful property a real credit to its current owners. This meticulous improvement has included a complete rewire, re-plumb and new central heating throughout, having been quite literally stripped back and then replaced from the original building shell. A magnificent vaulted ceiling has been featured in the glorious rear extension, which offers panoramic views of the fields and coastline beyond.

SITUATION

Secondary schooling, both state and private, is well catered for with the ever-popular Churchill Community Foundation School and Sixth Form Centre on the doorstep. Churchill is favoured by the commuter, being convenient for the cities of Bristol, Bath, Taunton, Wells and the seaside town of Weston-Super-Mare.
