A rare opportunity to renovate a delightful cottage (with full planning permission already granted for extension and remodelling to form a substantial 5 bedroom and 4 bathroom property). Set in a plot approaching ½ acre it is located in an idyllic location with easy access to Bristol and beyond.
DETAILS
Maysmead Cottage, believed to date back to the 1800s, has been in the same family for several generations. It is situated in an idyllic rural, yet not isolated location on the edge of the popular village of Langford, which nestles at the foot of the Mendip Hills AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). This traditional cottage is
surrounded by open farmland, creating delightful vistas to the front and rear and is set within a generous, completely private garden surrounded by stone walls, mature hedging, and several fabulous mature trees. Additionally, there is a separate paddock area of approximately ¼* of an acre.
Currently a three-bedroom property, it requires complete modernisation. Full planning permission has already been granted to extend it into a five-bedroom family home, offering approximately 2,400 to 2,500 sq. ft. (inc. garage) of flexible accommodation.
This is a rare renovation opportunity, providing a fantastic chance for the buyer to create the home of their dreams.
A long driveway leads to an incredibly attractive, white-rendered cottage with a contrasting terracotta-tiled roof. Inside, there are two reception rooms on either side of the hallway, both featuring deep recessed windows with views over the front garden and traditional open fireplaces. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room offers incredible views over open farmland. A wooden door opens to reveal a sunroom/store.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all with wooden floors. The principal bedroom features a pretty cast iron fireplace. In addition to the bedrooms there is also a reasonably sized family bathroom.
Outbuildings
There are several storage areas and an open faced carport to the right of the property, which under the new plans can be replaced with an extended house and new garage.
Outside
Maysmead Cottage has a long, gated driveway with immediately to the left, a paddock area. Approx ¼* of an
acre it could be used for a variety of purposes grazing small livestock, creating a wildlife habitat with wildflowers or a pond, or as a recreational area for picnics or private sports.
The driveway continues round to the property that sits well back in its sizable garden. A lovely tranquil space, it has a spacious lawn which is framed by stone walls, hedging and there is a magnificent, mature cherry tree. The grounds provide plenty of parking which should the new owner wish could be more formally laid out.
