A charming semi-detached cottage situated in a picturesque setting at the foot of the Quantock Hills. Beautiful gardens, garage & parking. No onward chain.

Barford Mead is a delightful period cottage situated on the edge of the desirable village of Spaxton. Whilst the property would benefit from some cosmetic updating, it has been well-maintained by the current owner over the last 30 years and is now available for sale with no onward chain.

The spacious and flexible accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises; an entrance door leads into a useful porch which provides access into the hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening into the living/dining room on your right and the utility room to the rear. The living/dining room is a lovely double aspect room with beamed ceiling. The utility and kitchen can be found leading off the living room and both of these rooms open out to the rear garden. A WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor there is a spacious landing area with useful airing and storage cupboards, three double bedrooms and a good size shower room.

Outside, the gardens to the rear are a particular feature of the property and are nicely screened with hedging, offering a good degree of privacy and seclusion. There is a patio area extending across the back of the cottage, which provides an ideal area for outside dining and summer entertaining. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature shrubs, flower beds, trees and herbaceous borders. A gravel driveway to the side provides parking and leads to the garage with light, power and doors opening out to the garden.

This truly charming cottage must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
