Bray Cottage is in the heart of the Blackdown Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). Despite enjoying such a rural location the property is by no means remotely situated. Taunton, the county town is about 7 miles away and offers excellent retail, educational and leisure facilities together with a good rail service (London Paddington) and easy access to the M5 motorway. The A303 is 3 miles to the south providing superb links to London, Exeter, Devon and Cornwall as well as the heritage Jurassic coast which is only about 25 miles to the south at Lyme Regis.
This is a simply a wonderful home that is set within approximately 1.5 acres of land that offers versatile living and stunning views! If you are looking for a peaceful location with outbuildings that offer potential for the home worker or the hobbyist then this could be exactly what you are looking for.
Entry is via a porch in to an Entrance Hallway that then opens to the OPEN PLAN living area. With a collection of multi-pane windows allowing the light to stream through, it makes this a light and spacious room that has a wonderful central fireplace with space to the side for a dining area. Parquet flooring throughout with beamed ceilings add to the character of the room. An inner lobby gives access to the Country Kitchen which has plenty of storage units with work surfaces over. Fitted is an Rayburn with space for a further cooker if needed and a sink that is placed well enjoying garden views. You'll find ample room too for a further dining table.
There is a good sized Family Bathroom on the ground floor that hosts a FIVE piece suite that includes a corner Shower Cubicle - Free Standing ROLL TOP BATH - W/C - Bidet and a Wash Hand Basin. On the other side of the home is another hallway with stairs leading to the first floor (with a handy storage cupboard beneath). Doors open to the THIRD BEDROOM that also has an adjacent W/C.
The first floor has a landing with doors that give access to:
The Master Bedroom is a lovely size with views and a built in wardrobe. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double room that also has a beamed ceiling. The shower room has been re-fitted with a contemporary white suite that has a corner shower cubicle, wash hand basin and a W/C. Additionally you'll also find the airing cupboard here.
Outside there is a well placed veranda and patio that has fantastic views over rolling hills and farm land. The grounds are mainly lawned offering privacy and many options for a keen gardener. The grounds also extend down through a mixed orchard where you'll find a natural plateau, ideal for a summer house or a simple garden bench where you can just sit back, relax and make friends with the local wildlife and free roaming pheasants. Furthermore there are specific areas for chickens, other livestock and vegetable patches. A Pole Barn gives further storage/working options along with a Detached Double Garage (fitted with power and light). As well as these there is a WORKSHOP (14'9 x 12) and a Study/Therapy Room/Garden Room (10 x 8'5).
Parking for numerous vehicles is also available. To fully appreciate the accommodation, grounds and idyllic location, an internal viewing is highly recommended.
