Description - Little Court is an attractive stone cottage situated in a quiet rural location on the edge of the village, backing onto fields with views towards the Mendips to the north and the Poldens to the south. The original part of the cottage is believed to date back to around 1855, featuring solid stone walls and a tiled roof. The property was extended in the early 1990s with cavity walls, stone outer and block inner walls, and a tiled roof. The current owners have lived here since 1995 and created the garden room in 2010. A sewage treatment plant was installed in 2022, and the exterior paintwork was refreshed in 2023. The gardens are a beautiful feature, bordered at the rear by the Mark Yeo Rhyne. There are useful outbuildings, including a double tandem garage and a single carport.

Accommodation - The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch on the southern aspect, leading to the reception room, which features an attractive exposed stone inglenook fireplace with a Vermont wood burner. From here, doors open to the study and cloakroom, as well as the kitchen/dining room. The spacious kitchen/dining room is well-appointed with a range of base and wall-mounted units, including a dresser unit and a 4-oven AGA. Double doors open to the garden room, which includes underfloor heating. There is also a separate utility room with additional units and plumbing for laundry appliances.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms. The double-aspect principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Both the second and third bedrooms overlook the southern aspect, with the second bedroom also featuring fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is fully tiled and includes a shower over the bath.

Outside - Accessed via the village lane, the parking and turning areas lie at the end of the drive, which was resurfaced in 2022 with heavy duty weed-proof fabric and gravel. The gardens are enclosed and offer a good degree of privacy, including a large patio adjoining the garden room. Predominantly laid to lawn, there is an array of inset small trees and beds, featuring a variety of shrubs and plants. There are several outbuildings, including a double tandem stone-built garage and a single carport with electricity connected.
