THIS charming six-bedroom period property occupies a discreet place along the High Street in Yatton, and benefits from close proximity to the amenities yet provides a good degree of privacy and seclusion.
The three-storey detached residence, named Orwell Cottage, has a rich history with its origins dating back to before the 1820s. The property’s now disused well once served as the source of water for villagers and the house was used as the local doctor's surgery until 1937.
Inside, the house is beautifully presented and exudes a timeless charm with its wealth of well-retained period features.
On the ground floor, the cosy sitting room has much character with its ceiling roses, and lovely original open fireplaces at either end with wooden surrounds with detailed roundels and wooden shutters. The room has two sets of French doors that open out onto a bright sunroom.
The kitchen/dining room is traditionally styled with a country kitchen look. It has a beautiful oak beamed ceiling, window sills and lintels, and crafted, hand-built, cream units complemented by tactile worktops made from English Pippy oak. A neatly designed breakfast bar separates the kitchen area from a large space for dining.
Two staircases rise to the first floor. The first staircase, from the kitchen, leads to the principal bedroom which has a striking vaulted and beamed ceiling. This room shares an ensuite Jack and Jill bathroom with a second double bedroom. The second staircase leads to three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Another spacious bedroom can be found on the top floor.
Outside, is an unexpectedly large garden, beautifully framed by a wisteria-clad pergola that spans the full width of the property. This fully enclosed and walled outside space provides a tranquil haven with its large lawn and terrace framed by mature shrubs and trees including a magnificent Scots pine. There is also a handy stone outbuilding and access to a useful cellar.
At the front, a gravelled driveway provides ample parking space.
