Langleys Lane, Clapton

A delightful three bedroom detached stone cottage with a large garden and separate 2.1 acre paddock with stables situated down a quiet country lane in the desirable village of Clapton.

About the property:

Thoughtfully extended by the current owner, Hunters Cottage is a deceptively spacious stone cottage with three double bedrooms, upstairs bathroom in addition to a downstairs shower room and a large garden with wonderful views across the valley. A parking bay provides off street parking, but 50 metres down the lane is a separate circa 2 acre paddock with additional parking, stables with a spring fed water supply and a former manège.


About the inside:

Stone steps lead from the lane up to the front door which opens into the spacious L-shaped sitting/dining room. A large fireplace houses a wood burning stove, perfect for cosy winter evenings. From the dining area, a glazed door opens into the inner hall with the stairs to the first floor and on into the large kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of cream units with a window overlooking the front. French doors lead out onto the side terrace and a further door goes into the utility room and shower room, both with skylights flooding the rooms with natural light.

Upstairs, the original part of the cottage includes two double bedrooms overlooking the front, one with built in wardrobes, and a lovely bathroom with a view of the garden. The third and largest bedroom is accessed via a useful study area and stretches the full depth of the cottage with a Juliet balcony to the front, and windows to the side and rear. Vaulted ceilings give a wonderful sense of space and lightness.


About the outside:

The cottage is raised above the lane with a dry stone wall creating a useful parking bay. Steps curve to the front door and a paved terrace leads across the front and widens out to the side into a fantastic entertaining space with views to the paddock. Steps lead up to a further terrace behind the cottage and then up to an expansive lawn with stunning far reaching views and a large shed, bordered by open fields.

Just a few steps down the lane, there is a 2.1 acre paddock with a former manège, parking area and timber stables with tack room, separate power supply and water from a spring.

About the area:

Clapton is a small village set between Ston Easton, Chilcompton and Midsomer Norton which offers a wide range of amenities including good schools, pubs and restaurants. The cathedral city of Wells is only a short distance, and Bath and Bristol are within easy reach, offering rail links to London and beyond.
