Located on the western edge of the Somerset village of Carlingcott this traditional semi-detached cottage with a modern open plan extension comes with an enclosed garden, off-street parking and stunning countryside views. Positioned close to the commuter village of Peasedown St John, around six miles southwest of Bath and under an hour from Bristol this is a country home which doesn’t feel remote. Arranged over two floors with four-bedrooms the clever arrangement of rooms means it offers versatile living; ‘it’s a great, easy to maintain home offering plenty of space for the day-to day life of a family. It’s also great for entertaining,’ say the owners, who have lived here for nineteen years. The extension includes a new kitchen/diner with a large picture window which ensures the room is light, whatever the weather. ‘This space feels very open and connected to the outside and has become the heart of our home. We’ve also added a utility room, a new Greenstar Heatslave boiler and radiators and double glazing throughout.’ The flat garden to the rear is split over two levels, the top ideal for outdoor dining, summer barbeques and evening drinks and the lower lawned level large enough for children and pets to enjoy their freedom.

‘The house is not overlooked, and it feels very peaceful. It’s great in the summer and super cosy in the winter when the log burners are lit.’

‘Being elevated with nothing behind us means that the views are fabulous. It’s very enjoyable watching the seasons and the weather change. The house is surrounded by open fields and public footpaths leading to fields, woodland and Cam Brook.’

‘The supportive village community has lots going on should you choose to be involved.
A village Facebook group has proved very helpful when running out of milk, needing a babysitter or a lift into town, or someone is organising a local party. We’ll really miss living here.’

‘The village has Truespeed Ultrafast Broadband which makes working from home a dream.’

‘Carlingcott is a fifteen-minute walk from Peasedown St John which has great amenities, from a primary school, skate park and football club to a post office, shop and library. There is also a good choice of nursery schools and a forest school within walking distance.’

‘For those wishing to travel to London by rail, Bath offers a train service taking an hour and twenty minutes.’
