Bishop Street, Somerset, BA3

DESCRIPTION

Tucked away in a desirable hamlet, Horseshoe Cottage is a handsome and well-designed three/four-bedroom semi-detached stone property, built in 2004. Combining traditional style with modern finishes, the home offers flexible living spaces, a charming, enclosed garden and off-road parking, all within easy reach of Frome, Bath and the surrounding countryside.

The property has great kerb appeal thanks to its attractive stone façade and considered proportions. The front door opens into a wide and welcoming entrance hall, where there is a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. A study at the front of the house offers an ideal work-from-home space, but could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, snug or hobby room. Towards the rear, there's a versatile playroom with access to the garden, and a bright, spacious sitting room with dual aspect windows, an open fireplace with a stone chimney breast and built-in niches. Double doors lead out to the garden and connect through to the kitchen/dining room, which also benefits from a dual aspect and doors to the outside. The dine-in kitchen features an exposed stone wall, Corian worktops, industrial-style pendant lights and a good range of modern wall and base units with walnut veneer finishes.

Upstairs the first floor offers three comfortable double bedrooms, all accessed from the landing, which also includes a linen cupboard. The main bedroom is dual aspect and has built-in wardrobes along with a private WC. The family bathroom includes a bath and a separate shower. The property is decorated in fresh, light tones throughout, with the occasional feature wall adding warmth and character.

OUTSIDE

The garden is a real asset, enclosed and private with a level lawn, planted borders and a patio area that’s perfect for outdoor dining. A small summerhouse provides useful storage or a quiet retreat, and there’s plenty of scope for green-fingered buyers to put their own stamp on the space. To the front, off-road parking is provided in the shared courtyard.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
