This lovely country property is superbly located in a tranquil rural located well away from any main road, in a small scattering of period properties a short distance from the picturesque hamlet of Nymet Tracey. The cottage has been recently completely renovated and now contains spacious 2 or 3 bedroomed accommodation absolutely full of charm and character features which includes an splendid living/dining room with a full height vaulted ceiling and array of exposed roof timbers/a-frames etc, plus several fireplaces and a bathroom containing a freestanding cast iron roll top bath. During renovations, the property has was heavily insulated by the present owner to keep running costs to a minimum, added to this Clear View multifuel burner connected to a large thermal water storage cylinder (also having the capacity to take a feed from a ground/air source heat pump and solar thermal panels which would further reduce running costs).  The mutlifuel burner provides hot water and central heating via conventional radiators throughout the house.

The accommodation is cleverly designed in a reverse style to take advantage of the rural aspect, with the living space being on the first floor, with bedrooms on the ground floor.  Although 2 bedrooms at present, the property could be altered to make 3 bedrooms.

The rear garden is lovely, extending in all to well over 100ft, having an outbuilding/utility, good size area of well kept lawn, and a productive vegetable plot at the lower end. We are informed by the vendor that there may be the possibility of purchasing a further strip of garden from the neighbour, subject to negotiations, should an even larger garden be required!
