Property Description: Guide Price £260,000 - £280,000. Having undergone a considerable transformation in recent years this charming stone cottage in the heart of the village of Baltonsborough is well maintained and well presented, inside and out. This character property has been fully refurbished in recent years with a new roof, new heating system, double glazed windows and a new bathroom and kitchen.
Through the front door there is a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and a doorway through to the living room which is light and bright with a modern south facing, double glazed sash window. This room has space for a sofa and a small dining table and there is a wood burner with stone fire surround, making the room cosy in the winter months.
The whole kitchen is newly fitted with wall and base kitchen cupboards and an integrated electric oven and hob. There is space and plumbing for both a dishwasher and a washing machine. There is a back door from the kitchen that opens out to the rear garden.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, one over looking the back garden and the main bedroom with a southerly aspect and a built in wardrobe. The family bathroom has been refurbished with a contemporary white bathroom suite. The bath has an over shower and the sink is set into a modern dove grey base unit with storage and there's a wall cupboard to match.
Outside: To the rear of the cottage there is an enclosed and relatively private, low maintenance garden. The garden is gravelled and in a courtyard style, ideal for pots and garden furniture for entertaining. There is a back gate that leads to a shared drive with a garage with an up and over door and parking available in the garage. The garage has a pitched roof allowing for further storage in the eaves.
Location: Baltonsborough is a popular Somerset village surrounded by beautiful open countryside with lovely walks. The village has a good community feel, with a primary school, village shop, public house, play park and village hall and the village hosts many clubs and activities. There is an annual village show and the beautiful 15th Century St Dunstan's church is in the heart of the village which can be reached by a lovely walk across fields.
