The Causeway, Congresbury

A recognised landmark within the village ‘Mead House’ is a pretty, painted cottage that sits alongside Congresbury cricket club in the historic centre of the village. Painted in a beautiful primrose yellow with leaded windows and a clay tiled roof, this attractive period home is a perfect purchase for anyone looking for a 'Quintessential English Cottage' with many original features and a remarkably light filled interior.

Approaching the property from the road there is a shallow off street parking bay that leads to a detached single garage and the gated access to the house. Dwarf stone walls line the footpath to the house, with a raised lawn and neat gravelled area enclosed by the original stone wall. An attractive stone-built storm porch provides space to decamp shoes and cloaks before entering the house, upon which you arrive at a lovely dual aspect sitting room with a tremendous stone fireplace (which features a gas stove) to one end and stairs rising to the first floor in front of you, feature beams add even more character and dual aspect windows shower the room with excellent natural light.

To the opposite side of the sitting room is a dual aspect dining room which also has feature beams and a large window to the rear which looks out over the cricket pitch. The kitchen is accessed through a door from the sitting room and is well fitted with a number of traditional farmhouse styled units with tiled splashback and a squared edge countertop. There are twin eye level Neff cookers and an electric hob, along with provision for other white goods. At the front of the kitchen is a second door leading out to the front garden, whilst to the rear a door leads through to a handy ground floor cloakroom.

Continuing onto the first floor, a long galleried landing has windows looking out to the rear and provides access to all rooms. The main bedroom is a spacious double and has a great dual aspect with attractive beams to the ceiling and a lovely outlook to both the front and the rear. A second double bedroom sits in the middle of the house and features an over stairs cupboard and space for bedroom furniture. Completing the bedrooms is a smaller third room which is perfectly adequate for child but would also make a great home office or study. Finally, the main bathroom is another spacious room which has a large double shower, W.C. and wash-hand basin.

The property features gas central heating, double glazing and lots of period features, along with a single garage, pretty garden and the benefit of no onward chain.
