A rare opportunity has arisen to own a beautifully maintained Grade II listed cottage in the popular village of Westbury Sub Mendip, currently on the market with a guide price of £475,000 to £500,000. The Lodge, located beside the historic St Lawrence church, is being marketed by Sandersons Wells and offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience.
This two-bedroom detached cottage showcases a range of stunning period features, from exposed beams to bespoke pointed head windows, all while being carefully updated to include modern comforts. The property has undergone significant renovation, including a newly fitted kitchen and bathroom, ensuring a stylish yet traditional feel throughout.
Entering through the part-glazed front door, you are welcomed into a light and bright atrium-style entrance hall. The newly renovated kitchen combines contemporary design with period features. It boasts modern cream-fitted units, dark bronze granite worktops, and a striking white marble tiled floor. A deluxe Rangemaster electric oven with a five-ring gas hob is perfectly set into a tiled inglenook, providing a beautiful focal point for the kitchen, while the windows offer lovely views of the garden.
The sitting room exudes character, with a cosy fireplace, exposed beams, and a curved wall featuring bespoke pointed windows that overlook Church Lane. It's a perfect spot for relaxing or hosting guests. Additionally, the utility room, located off the kitchen, provides convenient access to the garden and has space for a washer, dryer, and fridge-freezer.
Upstairs, the two double bedrooms are located in the eaves, featuring painted exposed beams and those characteristic bespoke windows that add to the property's charm. The principal bedroom offers views of the private garden, while the second bedroom looks out over the Mendip Hills. Both rooms come with built-in wardrobes for plenty of storage, and the principal bedroom also includes a feature fireplace and additional cupboard space.
The recently updated bathroom has a luxurious feel, complete with a large bath and an overhead waterfall shower. A skylight floods the room with natural light, adding to the sense of space, while a built-in sink unit with storage ensures practicality. An airing cupboard is conveniently located just outside the bathroom.
Outside, the property offers a generous amount of space for outdoor living. A slate-tiled veranda shelters a charming raised bed of box bushes at the front of the house. The back garden is perfect for entertaining, with a decked terrace covered by another slate-tiled veranda. A stone-walled gravelled area beyond the terrace leads to a raised lawn, bordered by a variety of shrubs and trees, making it a peaceful and private retreat. There is also a gravel path leading to a storage shed at the far end of the garden. Additionally, the property benefits from two parking spaces located across the lane.
