Leigh Street, Leigh Upon Mendip

Launched by our Midsomer Norton office!
Believed to be one of the original cottages first built in Leigh on Mendip and dating back to the 1800s, this is your chance to purchase a piece of history. With natural stone build, original front door and huge rear garden there is a lot of charm.

The cottage itself is what you would expect from this era, however, there has been a delightful one storey extension to the rear which shifts the accommodation for more space. On entering the property through the entrance vestibule, you are greeted by the lounge/diner. Formally two rooms, this has been opened to provide a lighter and more spacious area. Through into the extension is a tidy kitchen with space for white goods, breakfast bar, handy storage cupboard and rear access onto the courtyard. The shower room can also be located within the extension.
Rising to the first floor from the dining area are two bedrooms. Both rooms are double rooms and provide great sleeping accommodation.

Externally is where this property comes into its own and would is a gardener’s haven. From top to bottom it measures approximately 170ft in length and 30ft in width, which is not typical in these older cottages. As it stands there is a courtyard area off the rear door that is secure with gated access. To the top of the garden is a brick built shed and greenhouse, however as you make your way down, the garden opens to a lawned area. There is an array of mature plants and trees including fruit trees throughout providing sectioned off areas breaking the garden down for easier maintenance.. There is handy shared rear access to the East of the property, however with this property being the last on the shared access path you do still have a private garden.

Overall, this is a fantastic cottage which requires modernisation, but would make a great home for the next owners. There is also the possibility of making this home bigger through extensions (STPP) for growing families or those that want to make this a long term property.
