About the property
This quirky, character cottage is tucked away in an enchanting spot surrounded by woodland, lakes and fields. At the bottom of the garden, there's a babbling stream, the sound of which will soon send you into a blissful state. This magical cottage was once an early 19th century gate house and is now a fantastic place for a family to enjoy a countryside escape amidst nature. Whilst utterly charming in every way, there is every modern convenience you could need too, including an EV charging point and a Bang & Olufsen sound system. A pleasant walk down the lane will take you into the idyllic village of Nether Compton, while Sherbourne and Yeovil are only a 10-minute drive away.
The space
This detached cottage is refreshingly secluded (with no neighbours to be seen) and beautifully furnished to a very high standard.
It sleeps up to 6 guests across three bedrooms. One king size bedroom and two twin rooms. Plus, there is a snug/playroom, with a pull-out bed, that can be used as an additional bedroom.
The cottage also has two bathrooms, one en-suite shower room with the master bedroom and a separate family bathroom. Plus, there is a downstairs washroom with WC and a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Get cosy together in the sitting room and snuggle up for a night in front of the TV or play a family board game from the selection provided. There's also a Bang & Olufsen speaker Bluetooth sound system and WiFi.
Cook up family favourites in the kitchen/dining room, which is well equipped with an oven and hob, a fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee machine and dishwasher. Then devour your feast around the dining table as you chat about your plans for the next day's adventure.
Outside, there is a private garden with a patio and decking next to the natural spring, stream and a lake. It's the perfect place to relax on the garden furniture or dine alfresco. The garden is fully secure for peace of mind when travelling with dogs and children.
