SITUATION Located on the edge of the popular Somerset village of Carhampton, Court Cottage enjoys a peaceful setting backing onto open farmland with far-reaching countryside views. The property is ideally placed for scenic walks across the Deer Park to Dunster, through surrounding farmland to the beach, and alongside the West Somerset heritage steam railway to Blue Anchor. Carhampton offers a church, village pub, community orchard and village hall, while the coastal town of Minehead is approximately 4.4 miles away with a wide range of shops, schools and amenities.
DESCRIPTION Court Cottage is a stunning Grade II Listed thatched cottage believed to date from the 15th or early 16th century. Rich in character, it retains a wealth of original period features including a rare plank and muntin screen, exposed beams, a partially smoke-blackened roof structure and impressive fireplaces. Carefully restored to combine historic charm with modern living, the cottage benefits from spacious accommodation, generous gardens, detached garage, ample parking and beautiful countryside views.
ACCOMMODATION The welcoming entrance hall leads to two spacious reception rooms. The dual-aspect living room features exposed beams, wooden flooring, the original plank and muntin screen, and a fireplace with wood-burning stove. An adjoining office provides access to one of the staircases and a ground floor cloakroom.
The dining room is another generous dual-aspect reception space with wooden flooring, an impressive fireplace and a second staircase to the first floor. Beyond lies the breakfast room with access to the garden, leading through to the modern fitted kitchen featuring a range cooker, butler sink, integrated dishwasher, washing machine and fridge.
The first floor is arranged over two separate landing areas, reflecting the cottage's historic layout. There are four bedrooms in total, together with a contemporary family bathroom and separate modern shower room, offering flexible accommodation for family living or guests.
