This charming and characterful country cottage is nestled in a stunning rural setting with far reaching views over open farmland towards Brent Knoll. Believed to date back to 1906 and extended in the 1970s. The property has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners while still offering the opportunity for potential further enhancements and extensions, (subject to the necessary consents). The cottage retains much of its original character, and the interior is deceptively spacious.

The property is situated in a quiet rural position within the charming Somerset village of Badgworth where there are a number of fine period houses and cottages, a local village Church and Hall. Badgworth is an active and caring rural community situated a short drive away from the Medieval Town of Axbridge and the villages of Wedmore and Cheddar, each offering a range of amenities and shopping facilities. Being a rural area, there are a range of outdoor pursuits available including golf at the Isle of Wedmore Golf Club, walking, horse riding, mountain biking and fishing. For those with hobbies and interests, there are a number of clubs and societies in the area. The property lies within the school catchment area of Weare Academy First School (with attached pre-school), Hugh Sexey Middle School and The Kings of Wessex Academy in Cheddar with private schooling available at Millfield in Street, the Cathedral School in Wells and Sidcot School near Winscombe. For those travelling further afield, access to the M5 motorway network is available at junction 22 (Edithmead) with mainline railway connections at Highbridge, Weston-super-Mare, Yatton and Backwell. Bristol International Airport is approximately a 20-minute drive away.
The location is undeniably a highlight, with the property set in a picturesque rural environment. The south-west facing gardens are a particular feature, certain to appeal to keen gardeners or those seeking ample outdoor space for children to play. At the rear of the property, there is a single-storey section, currently used as a utility room, which offers great potential for development. Additionally, there is space to the side of the property for a garage with accommodation above, if desired.
The property is accessed via a gated, stone-chipped driveway that offers ample off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to the lean-to carport. The charming front garden is primarily lawned, featuring an attractive array of mature trees, shrubs, and flower borders, all bordered by hedges. The garden also includes an outside light and side access to the rear garden and a workshop with lighting, power points, ceramic Butlers sink with hot and cold taps and W.C with low level suite. Door and window to the garden.
The expansive rear garden is enclosed by fencing and hedges, boasts breath taking views of the Somerset countryside, with stunning vistas extending towards Brent Knoll and Crook Peak. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden is adorned with mature trees, fruit trees, shrubs, and flower borders. There is also a stone-chipped seating area, a timber garden store, and an outside water supply.
