Located in the charming village of Spaxton, Somerset, this semi-detached character cottage offers a delightful retreat for up to four guests. Dating back to the early 1800s, the cottage was originally part of a farmhouse that has since been converted into four separate accommodations. With two bedrooms, the cottage provides a cozy and tranquil atmosphere, complemented by stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Its proximity to the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty makes it an ideal location for those looking to explore the great outdoors.
The interior of the cottage features a welcoming sitting room adorned with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace fitted with a woodburner, perfect for cozy evenings after a day of exploration. The fitted kitchen includes a dining area and access to a pantile roofed patio, leading to a sunny, enclosed garden—a serene space for relaxation. The village of Spaxton offers a rich local experience, including restored almshouses, a historic church, a traditional pub, and a community shop stocked with high-quality local produce. The absence of street lighting enhances the village's charm, allowing for stunning views of the night sky on clear evenings.
Nature enthusiasts will find plenty to appreciate, as the cottage is conveniently located near the WWT Steart Marshes and several RSPB reserves, including Greylake, Swell Wood, Ham Wall, and West Sedgemoor. This makes the cottage an excellent base for wildlife lovers eager to explore the diverse flora and fauna of the area. The Quantock Hills themselves offer a variety of walking, horseback riding, and biking opportunities, showcasing breathtaking landscapes and panoramic views, all within easy reach of the cottage.
For those seeking further adventure, the stunning Exmoor and North Somerset coast are only a half-hour drive away, presenting beach resorts, picturesque fishing villages, and dramatic moorland. The Jurassic fossil beach of Kilve is just 8 miles from the cottage, while WWT Steart is 7 miles away, both accessible within approximately 20 minutes. This peaceful cottage serves as a perfect base for a memorable family holiday, combining comfort, natural beauty, and a taste of local culture.
