Grants Lane, Wedmore, BS28

In a central village location this charming Grade II listed three-bedroom terraced cottage with sash windows and flagstone flooring, with a surprisingly extensive and secluded haven of a garden stretching all the way down to the brook, offers plenty of scope for improvement.

Flagstones run the length of the house, through the entrance hall and kitchen to the garden room at the rear. There are two well-proportioned reception rooms for a cottage of this size. The sitting is to the front where morning sunshine floods in through the bay window and a feature fireplace houses an open fire for use in those cooler months. The dining room, to the rear of the house, next to the kitchen, has attractive wooden floorboards and a tall 12-pane sash window. The kitchen connects the entrance hall to the dining room and the garden room and it is fitted with a range of wall and base units. The light and tranquil garden room at the rear has tiled flooring and views of the garden. Furnished with comfortable seating, housing a small pond and many flourishing plants, it creates a gentle transition between inside and outside living. Linked via the garden room is a space currently used as a study, and a further room used as a utility which also houses a WC and, possibly, an old bread oven.

The three bedrooms are upstairs. The primary bedroom is to the rear of the house with a tall sash window with stunning leafy views across the Saxon Square to the church. The other two bedrooms are to the front of the house, also with sash windows. All three bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Outside

This garden is a delightful hidden treasure, divided into two main sections of garden and orchard, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature borders and surrounded by hedging and trees, whilst the orchard stretches down to the brook with a few fruit trees. At the front, the cottage is set back off Grants Lane behind a low stone wall. On road parking.
