Location
Ashcott is a friendly village located on the Polden Hills, to the west of Street.  It has 2 pubs, a first school and playing fields as well as a busy village hall which hosts various events.  Further amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool and Clarks Village shopping outlet, Millfield and other senior schools can be found under 3 miles east in Street.  The village is surrounded by rolling countryside which is renowned for nature reserves and specifically birdlife and starling murmurations.
The cottage sits in a very central, elevated position and enjoys far reaching views over rooftops to rolling hills beyond.

Descriptions
Originally built in 1840, this charming cottage has been extended and renovated to create a comfortable and spacious family home.  It has been fully renovated in the last ten years with new boiler, windows, electrics and a fabulous new family bathroom.

Accommodation
The front door opens to a glazed porch, which has a handy bench seat. The fabulous, original, painted front door, in a cherry red, welcomes you to an inner hall where there’s space for hanging coats and storing boots.  An inner door leads to the open plan sitting room/dining room. This spacious, south facing room has French doors to the drive. A red brick fireplace is a focal point where a multi fuel stove provides warmth in the winter months. To the right is a utility cupboard which houses the boiler.

The kitchen is a bright workspace with fitted units, plus a range cooker with gas hob, two electric ovens, a grill and an extractor. There’s a built-in microwave and slimline dishwasher and space for a washing machine and fridge freezer.  A door leads through to the sunny conservatory which has a westerly aspect and enjoys the best of the evening sun.  This attractive room overlooks the garden, and a door leads out to the path which wraps around the house.
To the left of the sitting room is a versatile annexe/office/bedroom which has access, through French doors, to the south driveway.  There is an adjoining shower room and there was a kitchen, but this has been removed, this could be reinstated subject to appropriate pp.

This large space is perfect for a consulting room or perhaps could also become an independent annexe if required, subject to the appropriate pp.

Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a dual aspect and again it is very spacious, with beautiful views to the hills in the south.  On the landing there are built-in-cupboards and a fabulous, spa-like bathroom which has 3 sinks with vanity unit storage, a shower cubicle, and a stylish, contemporary, freestanding bath.

Outside
A resin path leads to the front door and a path wraps around the property, through a timber garden gate, to the enclosed rear garden on the west side of the property.  This is surrounded by mature hedging and shrubs, a magnificent fig tree, and an apple tree add structure and there is a manageable kitchen garden, and a dainty pond encourages aquatic flora and fauna.  A paved terrace is perfect for a table and chairs, and the path continues around to the southside where there is parking for several vehicles on the resin drive.  A timber shed provides space for storing tools and garden equipment.
