Description
The house is approached via a pretty driveway that culminates in a gravelled parking area for several cars. A pretty front door opens beneath a charming veranda to a hall with access to a delightful ground floor bedroom and an equally impressive wet room. Along the hall is a spacious utility/boot room and a fabulous kitchen dining area at the heart of the house. The veranda that shelters the front terrace also opens to a comfortable home office. The kitchen itself is luxuriously furnished with a three oven electric aga and integrated appliances that include a Bosch dishwasher and fridge freezer. A fabulous island with a solid oak work top doubles as a breakfast bar and is illuminated by a pretty recessed lighting unit. Leathered quartz work surfaces sit atop hand crafted shaker style units and complement a stylish Belfast sink. A natural stone floor is warmed by underfloor heating that extends through much of the ground floor. There is a wonderful open plan feel to the living area where natural light pours in through pretty windows and double doors open directly to the terrace outside.
Equally charming is the sitting room, accessed from the kitchen. Glorious oak beams grace the ceiling and reflect the oak frames that define this beautiful room. A ‘Clearview’ wood burning stove warms the room from an attractive fireplace finished with a Bath stone surround. Glazed doors open fully to allow unimpeded access to the terrace and almost allow the gardens in. Triple aspect windows ensure an abundance of natural light.
Off the sitting room is a rear hall with a cloakroom (with a sink, worktop and space for a washing machine) and stairs that climb to the first floor. The principle bedroom is beautiful and adorned with a charming Juliette balcony with stunning views of the Somerset countryside. The en-suite bathroom is elegantly furnished with a Bette bath, Booth & Co taps, a heated chrome towel rail and a marble surround that frames the washbasin and natural stone tiles from fired earth. Two built in laundry cupboards offer ample space for storage. Also off the landing is the third bedroom that also comes with an elegant en-suite bathroom. These glamourous rooms are further enriched by more fabulous oak beams that vault the ceilings.
Outside
To the front of the house is a generous double garage and parking for several cars. Also on the West side of the garden is a timber clad garden store and a variety of raised beds that offer the potential for home grown produce. To the East, well-manicured lawns sweep away from a seasoned stone terrace to the near boundary. The landscape is peppered with fruit trees and a cascade of irises light up a pretty pond. The garden can also be accessed via a gate that opens to the road allowing for the possibility of a self-contained shepherd’s hut. Of particular note are the breath taking views of the Somerset countryside that extend as far as Glastonbury Tor.
Summary
Rose Cottage is an unusually beautiful house. Constructed with a stylish combination of natural stone, white render and slate on the roof it exudes charm and sophistication. It has been renovated with flair and imagination and the attention to detail is evident everywhere. It has also been built with green credentials and is heated with both discreetly positioned solar panels and an air source heat pump. There is also potential to enhance the current accommodation. There is currently planning permission to add a conservatory to the kitchen along with permission to convert the existing double garage into a family room and to construct a new double garage in the grounds.
