Property Description: Guide Price £550,000 - £575,000. Redlake Cottage is located in an outstandingly beautiful, unspoilt area of Somerset, located on a barely used country lane and is set within a large garden surrounded by open countryside. Opportunities like this do not come up very often. This is a fabulous opportunity to create a fantastic family home but as the house lends itself to multi generational living it can be enjoyed as it is currently configured or subject to the necessary consents, could be converted to create further accommodation for family members. Further opportunities lie within the development of the large double garage which has power and water for accommodation or to create an extra income stream.
The property is located on a very quiet lane close to the desirable villages of North Wootton and West Pennard with wonderful views of the Mendip Hills and Glastonbury Tor. The property is approached over a cattle grid and through double gates.
The house is currently arranged with two reception rooms (one with a feature fireplace and the other with a wood burner) and four double bedrooms. There are a further two smaller rooms to the upstairs which would be perfect as a nursery or dressing rooms or potentially converted to en-suites. There is a bathroom and a shower room also to the top floor.
The main kitchen has a dishwasher and a Rayburn, as well as a secondary kitchen at the rear, there is also a separate laundry/utility room. There are also two downstairs cloakrooms.
There is a large South facing spacious conservatory across the back of the property letting in a tremendous amount of natural light.
There is also additional land available to purchase under separate negotiation.
Outside: The entire property is bordered with neat hedging and the front garden is well planted with established flower beds and has a well kept lawn. There is also off road parking to the side and rear of the property for several vehicles as well as a large double garage that could be further enhanced and redesigned. The rear garden is mainly arranged as an extensive vegetable plot and has a large greenhouse to one side.
Location: The property is close to the popular villages of North Wootton (with an active village hall and The Crossways Hotel) and West Pennard with the popular pub (The Lion at West Pennard (lionatpennard.co.uk) and a great primary school) and Glastonbury is just a short drive away. The historic cathedral city of Wells is just a short drive away and is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). At it’s centre is the market place (local markets held twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the cathedral and the moated Bishops Palace as well as its bustling high street. Glastonbury is a small but busy town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the majestic ruins of the Abbey. There are regular farmer’s markets in Wells, Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet (just six miles away) and these locations offer a variety of coffee shops, restaurants and independent shops. All the usual supermarkets can be found in any of these three locations and there are great local farm shops including Jon Thorner’s or maybe try the local producer Brown Cow Organics. There are fabulous walks on your doorstep over the surrounding countryside. Just half an hour away is the town of Bruton with its boutique shops, famous restaurants and world-renowned Hauser & Wirth Art Gallery. Bristol, Bath and Frome are all within approximately an hour’s drive and a mainline station with trains to London Paddington, is situated approximately a twenty minute drive away at Castle Cary. Bristol International Airport is around 23 miles away. There is an excellent range of both state and independent schools in the area including the well-respected West Pennard Primary School. Millfield School, Wells Cathedral School, The Blue School in Wells, Strode College in Street, All Hallows, Downside School and numerous local primary schools are all accessible from the area.
