New Road Cottages, Ashill, TA19 9LX

DESCRIPTION An enchanting two-bedroom character cottage, set within delightful gardens and complemented by an additional parcel of land, double garage and ample parking.

Occupying a lovely position on the edge of the much sought-after and thriving village of Ashill, this charming home offers a rare combination of period character, countryside views and excellent access to the surrounding area.

Reminiscent of a quintessential fairy-tale cottage, the property is filled with character features including exposed beams, an impressive inglenook fireplace and an attractive thatched roof.

Beautifully presented throughout, it would make an idyllic permanent home, holiday cottage or convenient lock-up-and-leave retreat.

The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance porch leading into the formal dining room.

This particularly atmospheric space is perfect for entertaining, with a wood-burning stove providing warmth and a lovely focal point.

The cosy sitting room offers an inviting space in which to relax, benefiting from dual-aspect windows and views across the rear garden.

The well-appointed galley kitchen provides an excellent range of fitted units and generous workspace, with the added charm and practicality of stable doors opening directly onto the outside.

Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms, currently arranged as one double and one twin room. Both enjoy wonderful views across the surrounding farmland, creating a peaceful and picturesque backdrop.

They are served by a newly installed family bathroom. OUTSIDE The outside space extends to nearly a quarter of an acre and is divided into two distinct areas.

The first comprises a delightful garden adjoining the cottage, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a patio, mature shrubs and an abundance of colourful planting.

It provides an idyllic setting for relaxing, entertaining and alfresco dining throughout the warmer months.

The remaining grounds are detached from the main house and extend as a linear, tree-lined parcel, incorporating two useful garden sheds and a double garage.

With its generous space and versatility, this area offers considerable appeal to those looking to keep chickens, establish a few beehives, create a productive garden or simply enjoy the freedom of having additional outdoor space.

Of particular interest to the discerning buyer is the potential for the detached parcel of land to accommodate an additional dwelling, subject to the necessary planning consents.

This exciting possibility adds a further dimension to an already exceptional property, and an early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, space and potential on offer.
