SITUATION Spaniel Cottage is positioned within the heart of the popular West Somerset village of Carhampton, a community known for its church, village inn and proximity to the coast and countryside. The historic medieval village of Dunster lies approximately two miles away, while the coastal town of Minehead, with its wide range of amenities, is around four miles distant.
The county town of Taunton is approximately twenty-two miles to the east and offers mainline rail services and access to the motorway network. The surrounding area provides excellent walking and outdoor pursuits, with Dunster Deer Park, Exmoor National Park and the Quantock, Brendon and Exmoor Hills all within easy reach.
DESCRIPTION Spaniel Cottage is an appealing mid-terraced period home occupying a particularly peaceful and secluded setting. The property is well presented throughout and offers bright, well-proportioned accommodation that blends traditional character with modern comfort. The cottage benefits from a shared driveway leading to a garage with adjoining store and parking for two vehicles, together with an attractive garden.
ACCOMMODATION The property is entered via a stable door which opens directly into a spacious open plan sitting room. The room enjoys polished oak flooring and exposed timbers, centered around a characterful fireplace with wood-burning stove, stone surround, oak beam and slate hearth. A cottage-style window seat overlooks the front garden, while an oak-framed glazed door opens onto a small sun terrace enjoying a south-westerly aspect and views across a nearby paddock. A bespoke solid oak open-tread staircase rises to the first floor.
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a range of solid wood units, soft-close drawers and generous work surfaces. A ceramic Belfast sink is positioned beneath a window enjoying views over the surrounding landscape. Appliances include an integrated fridge, integrated washing machine and an electric two-oven AGA with halogen hob and extractor over. Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-defined dining area with space for a full-size table.
To the first floor, a landing provides access to a large airing cupboard with shelving. There are two comfortable double bedrooms, both enjoying views over the gardens, one of which benefits from extensive built-in storage.
