Accommodation
The property is entered from the front into an entrance hall with a tiled floor and recessed stonework, setting the tone for the high-quality craftsmanship throughout. On the right, the sitting room offers a warm and inviting space, centred around a deep inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove and heavy timber beam over, complemented by front and rear windows and concealed stairs to the first floor. The adjoining dining room features exposed brick and stone detailing flanking the front-facing window, and a wide opening flows naturally into the kitchen. Here, bespoke handmade base units are paired with stone work surfaces and integrated limestone tiles. There is space for a freestanding electric cooker, upright fridge/freezer and display furniture. From the kitchen, a hallway leads to a ground floor shower room with WC, basin and enclosure, while a conservatory at the rear offers flexible space as a garden room or additional reception area.
Upstairs, the landing includes a rear-facing window with delightful views across the fields. There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each showcasing the restored original floorboards. The principal bedroom is particularly atmospheric, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and recess storage flanking the chimney breast. Bedroom three, located between the other two rooms, includes access to the loft, offering potential for further storage.
Outside
The cottage is accessed via steps and a pathway from Broadway, with a front garden setting it back from the road. To the rear, the garden has a shaped lawn, mature rockeries, and raised beds. A paved terrace sits directly outside the conservatory, ideal for al fresco dining, while a second seating area in the far corner of the garden is positioned to capture the afternoon sun. The garden backs onto open fields, giving a lovely sense of space and the adjoining countryside.
Location
The property is located at the heart of Chilton Polden, one of the sought-after villages nestled along the scenic Polden Hills. Well-regarded for its strong sense of community and accessible rural charm, the village enjoys a gently elevated position with views across the Somerset Levels. It is ideally placed for easy access to the M5 motorway at Junction 23 (Dunball), making it a convenient base for those commuting to Bristol, Taunton or Exeter.
