About The Property
Dere Cottage is full of warmth and individuality. Its well-proportioned rooms take full advantage of the cottage’s elevated position, framing beautiful views towards Glastonbury Tor. To the front, a pretty enclosed courtyard provides an inviting spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. Adjoining the property is a single garage with an electric roller door and a small parking space in front.
About the Inside
A welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor opens into the elegant sitting room, featuring a period fireplace and a peaceful atmosphere. Opposite, the dining room includes a charming glazed display cupboard beside the fireplace and a doorway leading to the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with simple white units and a traditional Rayburn range, which provides heating for the home. From here, an archway leads through a practical utility area to a ground floor wet room with shower.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and lovely views towards the Tor. The principal bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with William Morris wallpaper and a freestanding roll-top bath — the perfect place to unwind. From the bedroom, a door opens onto a generous roof terrace with panoramic views and space for outdoor dining or relaxing in the sun.
An airing cupboard in the bathroom houses the immersion heater.
About the Outside:
The front courtyard, enclosed by a low stone wall, offers a private and easily maintained outdoor space. The adjoining garage provides excellent storage and secure parking, with additional space in front for a small car. The roof terrace is a standout feature — a large, elevated area with wrought iron railings, perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the far-reaching views across the Somerset countryside and towards Glastonbury Tor.
