The Street, Compton Martin, BS40

A picture perfect, 5 bed, Grade II listed detached cottage ‘Coombe Lodge’. Situated in the peaceful village of Compton Martin with local amenities, village church and duck pond nearby. Take a short drive to the Chew Valley lakes for a Salt and Malt Supper or enjoy dog walks and rambles to Compton Woods and Blackmoor Nature Reserve. Perfectly placed for an easy commute into Bristol, Bath, and surrounding areas.

Pulling up on the tandem driveway, allow a moment to drink in the views across to The Mendips before entering the home via the front or side entrance. If you’ve opted for the front prepare to be welcomed into an abode bursting with character and original features. Leave your coat and shoes in the impressive entrance hall (taking note of the ceiling beams, stone fireplace, and gorgeous front outlook) and allow your excitement to rise at the thought of what you're yet to explore.
The ‘wow’ factor sitting/dining room with inglenook fireplace, pitched beamed ceiling, minstrel’s gallery, and original bread oven (not in use) is the perfect social space for hosting larger celebrations, showcasing an impressive Christmas tree or simply relaxing on the sofa after a festive feast. Make sure you open the door (with original wood lintel) leading into the ground floor office - a fantastic light and airy space with a beautiful outlook and garden access.
The large ‘country style’ kitchen/diner with lower kitchen, separate utility room and quirky window is without a doubt the heart of the home. The abundance of real oak storage solutions, work top area and AGA creates an ideal environment (and excuse) for trying out new recipes using home grown produce. Catch up over mealtimes in the dining area, enjoy weekend brunches with the garden door open or simply pull up a chair and a savour coffee whilst the radio plays in the background.
If you’re looking for a cosy ‘family’ space, then head to the lounge/snug with inglenook fireplace and low ceiling beams. The warm hug of this room radiates a comforting ambiance, inviting you to settle down for a game of chess or to get toasty after a weekend adventure.
Let’s head upstairs where you’ll find five double bedrooms, four of which are on the first floor and the fifth being the HUGE attic room. The four, first floor bedrooms all benefit from a view of the Mendips with two of those showcasing original fireplaces. Have you spotted the mini passageway that leads from bedroom three to bedroom two? – fantastic for a game of hide and seek! You’ll also notice bedroom two has a door leading into the first-floor office, previously used as nursery due to the fact it also connects to the Master Bedroom.
The luxurious family bathroom with freestanding bath, walk in shower, WC and pair of traditional hand basins is perfect for a wake-up shower or an evening soak. Store spare towels and toiletries in the fitted storage cupboard. Don’t let me forget to mention the second bathroom (with bath, WC, and separate shower cubicle) and downstairs WC – always a bonus for easing hectic morning routines!
Nip outside to discover an enormous garden that will have you subscribing to the good life. Certainly, plenty of space for kicking a ball about, garden parties and bug hunts. Keep green fingers happy tending to the lawn, veggie patch and flower beds. Store bikes, tools, and camping gear in the easy access double garage with power. Have fun in the sun, building dens and spend summer evenings camping out and toasting marshmallows under the stars.
