Nestled on the peaceful outskirts of Leigh on Mendip, Townsend Farm is a delightful and deceptively spacious three-bedroom detached cottage. Surrounded by open countryside, this characterful home boasts beautifully landscaped gardens, a detached garage with workshop, and ample private parking — the perfect rural retreat with easy village access.
About the Inside.
Full of original charm and thoughtful touches, the cottage welcomes you into a bright and inviting living room featuring a wood-burning stove, exposed stonework, timber floors, and traditional window shutters. Adjacent, a light-filled dining room — currently used as a study — showcases a period fireplace, ideal for relaxed entertaining or working from home.
At the heart of the home lies a generous kitchen with quarry tiled floors and a classic Rayburn range, flowing into a practical utility room and ground floor shower room. A separate boot room at the rear offers convenient garden access.
Upstairs, three spacious double bedrooms provide ample accommodation, two adorned with charming feature fireplaces. A quirky and stylish family bathroom includes a freestanding roll-top bath and leads to a separate dressing room, adding a touch of luxury and function.
About the Outside.
The front garden, framed by a low stone wall and climbing yellow rose, offers instant kerb appeal.
To the rear, timber gates lead to private driveway parking and a large, stone built, detached garage with a versatile workshop space. This holds further scope to develop into a garden studio or further accomodation (STPP).
The rear garden is a picturesque haven! A level lawn is bordered by mature shrubs and flowering beds, a productive fig tree, and a pretty stone patio make this perfect for outdoor dining and to enjoy throghout the seasons.
