St Davids Place, Bruton Guide Price £285,000

St Davids Place is a hidden quiet oasis in the midst of bustling Bruton; a row of pretty terraced cottages built in the 1800s, accessed through an archway, along a footpath with a patchwork of gardens opposite. There is no vehicular access here so it is very peaceful and a rather special location. No 6 is a delightful period cottage with thick stone walls and deep windowsills, original flagstones, beams and turned wooden staircase. It has been modernised, with a modern kitchen and bathroom and double glazing throughout. From the rear, there are charming views across to St Mary’s Church, the Dovecot and the hills beyond.

Description

The front door opens into the sitting room. This is a spacious room with its original flagstone floor, windows to both the front and rear and a stone fireplace with wood burner. Through a doorway is the kitchen, which has a modern industrial feel. A slate floor sets off deep coloured cupboards, made from recycled plastic, providing plenty of kitchen storage and housing an integrated fridge/freezer and combi-boiler. A stainless steel Smeg cooker completes the look.
Stairs from the sitting room lead up to the first floor landing where a big, deep silled window gives lots of light. Traditional board and ledge latch doors lead from the landing to a double bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom has an original pretty cast iron fireplace and two windows to the rear with views of the Church. The bathroom has modern fittings, with aquabord panelling and a rain shower head over the bath, and a decorative opaque glass internal window from the landing.
The second staircase leads up to an attic room used as sleeping quarters with a double bed in situ. This is a cosy room with pretty painted ceiling beams and a little nook exposing some original stonework. There are two Velux windows, one of which is at the perfect height for taking in the view of the Church and the Dovecot from your bed. This room does not have official building regulations so cannot be officially marketed as a second bedroom.

Outside
Along the footpath is a gate which leads into a lovely enclosed detached garden with an old stone wall at the bottom, a lawn and pretty planting. There are two areas of decking, one of them covered, with a log store, and each has plenty of room for seating.
There is also a useful outhouse, at the end of the footpath, with room for bikes and garden tools.
