Description

Churchill Cottage, Crows Hill, Batcombe, BA4 6BN

Accommodation
Churchill Cottage is an impressive property which enjoys an idyllic rural situation, overlooking Batcombe Vale. There is very little passing traffic, and beautiful farmland surrounding the property in almost every direction. In addition to the total tranquillity, Churchill Cottage remains within a short drive from the fashionable Bruton High Street and all of the town's amenities.

The property was extended and modernised in 2010 and is now a well-established home with many modern conveniences, including solar panels that generate c.£3,000 per annum by Feed-In Tariff (FIT) and a Grundfos 3 Bar Home Booster that provides the house with high-pressure showers and a water supply.
 
The front door leads into a most welcoming entrance hall with a vaulted ceiling and tiled floor, which runs through into the kitchen and dining room.

The kitchen dining room is well arranged, with plenty of room for a dining table by the French doors to enjoy the view down the garden and beyond. There is a good range of fitted units with granite overlay worktops and integral appliances, including twin Neff self-cleaning ovens, a five-ring induction hob, and an extractor above. There is also room for a dishwasher and an American-style fridge-freezer.

Adjoining the kitchen is the utility where there is plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, further units and a Butlers sink. A door from the utility leads out to both the parking area and the back garden.
 
The sitting room is flooded with light thanks to the dual aspect and like the kitchen it has French doors out to the garden. The views across the garden and down to the valley are idyllic and the aspect of the sitting room really makes the most of them. In the heart of the room is a wood-burning stove, perfect to cosy up in front of during the cooler months.
 
Across the hall is the study which could equally be used as a fourth double bedroom. Also accessed from the hallway is the cloakroom which has a large bank of cupboards for storage.

The staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor where there are three spacious double bedrooms, each with their own modern fitted en-suites and wonderful countryside views. The master bedroom is the largest of the three and has a walk-in wardrobe, plus a well-appointed en-suite with a free-standing bath, separate shower, twin basins and a w/c. The second bedroom has built-in wardrobes as well as its own en-suite bathroom. Also on the first floor is a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

Outside
From the country lane, the driveway enters an expansive gravel parking area which wraps around the double garage providing parking for many vehicles. The double garage has two remote-controlled electric roller doors and plenty of storage space within. Just outside the garage is an external tap and on the left hand side of the house is an electric car charging point. The gardens are to the rear of the house taking in the awe-inspiring views as the lawn gently slopes down giving way to Batcombe Vale. Immediately outside the house is a substantial seating terrace which basks in the afternoon sun. Also close to the house is a large shed/summer house, ideal for storage or indeed for use as a workshop/studio. The main lawn is interspersed with several pretty trees including a lovely blossoming cherry. Further down the garden, there are productive vegetable patches and beyond these are the aforementioned solar panels which generate income to the property.

About the area
Churchill Cottage sits at the top of Crows Hill with far-reaching panoramic views stretching to Glastonbury Tor and beyond, in a westerly direction. It forms part of the village of Batcombe, which is highly sought after, being made up of only a small number of mainly stone-built houses set within lovely countryside and well away from busy roads. Within the village is an active village hall, church and playground. Batcombe is home to the renowned “Three Horseshoes” pub and restaurant. Bruton is only 2 miles away and has sort-after schools, a railway station, doctors, dentists and more.
 
Castle Cary, Evercreech, Street, Glastonbury, Wells, Shepton Mallet, Frome Gillingham and Sherborne are all within easy reach and offer a wide range of facilities.

Bath, Bristol and Yeovil are within easy commuting distance and the A303 is a few miles south. The closest stations are in Bruton and Castle Cary both on a main line to London Paddington (100 minutes from Castle Cary).

Most sporting activities are well covered including several golf courses. The beautiful countryside is easily accessed with many footpaths and bridleways. There are many excellent state and independent schools nearby including Millfield, Hazlegrove, Sherborne, Downside, Wells Cathedral and of course the renowned Bruton schools.
