Moor Road, Moorlinch, TA7

A superbly presented and deceptively spacious detached 17th century cottage that tastefully combines character features with stylish modern conveniences. Situated in a picturesque village setting on the southern side of the Polden Hills and featuring a charming cottage style garden that's ideal for entertaining. Three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large kitchen diner, offer flexible accommodation.

ACCOMMODATION:
The property is accessed principally at the front elevation where the attractive cottage-style double-glazed timber door opens into the welcoming reception room at the heart of the property. Here you will find a wealth of character and period features that are present throughout most of the accommodation, including exposed ceiling beams, flagstone floors, a large inglenook-style fireplace and timber-framed double-glazed windows. This well-proportioned reception space could provide a formal dining room as required. The accommodation leads in opposite directions from here. On one side you will find a spacious and sociable open-plan kitchen/diner with a comprehensive range of fitted base level cabinetry in a shaker-style, with solid wooden work surfaces and upstands over, a twin Belfast sink with mixer tap and integral ceramic hob with cooker hood over and electric oven below. The 'Alpha' Aga-style cooker provides additional cooking facilities and there is further space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and American-style fridge freezer. A double-glazed stable-style door at the rear opens to a lobby with access to a WC, as well as to the rear garden. The separate sitting room at the opposite elevation, also features an impressive inglenook-style fireplace with a fitted log-burning stove for cosy nights in front of the fire. Stairs rise to a split-level landing, from which there is access to three excellent size bedrooms and the family bathroom. Here you'll also find a stable style door to the rear garden. All three bedrooms could accommodate double beds if required and feature dual-aspect windows, with two benefitting from a range of fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom also enjoys access to its own en-suite shower room. The light and airy family bathroom features the ideal blend of a contemporary suite with traditional cottage style decor, with half-height wooden panelling and tiled walls to wet areas. The suite comprises a claw-foot high-sided bath, high level flush WC and pedestal wash basin.

OUTSIDE:
This unique plot offers a variety of hidden nooks in which to enjoy a quiet moment to yourself, or to entertain friends and family in privacy. There are two patio areas to accommodate this, with the first found immediately to the rear of the cottage, and the second accessed via steps leading to a secluded terrace. A hardstanding at the far corner of the garden provides a suitable space for a shed or summerhouse and a landscaped area at the side of the property offers the opportunity to create a vegetable garden or family friendly recreation space as required. A range of mature planting to the borders, creates a wonderfully green and vibrant space, without the need for regular intensive maintenance.

SERVICES:
Mains electric, water and drainage are connected, and oil-fired central heating is installed. The property is currently banded C for council tax, within Somerset Council. Ofcom's service checker states that external mobile coverage is likely with four major providers, whilst Ultrafast broadband is available in the area.
