Located in the picturesque village of Croscombe, Somerset, this charming cottage known as Millview offers a cozy retreat for up to five guests. The entrance hall, adorned with beautifully worn flagstones, showcases a stone archway that leads to the earlier section of the house, which dates back to the early 17th century. This historic ambiance is complemented by a staircase that ascends to the first floor, inviting guests to explore the rest of the home.
The sitting room is a highlight of Millview, featuring a welcoming log-burning stove nestled within a grand inglenook fireplace, which also houses a seven-foot deep bread oven. The fireplace has been tastefully updated with a stained glass window crafted by the owner, depicting the iconic Glastonbury Tor. The room, with its ancient flagstone floor partially covered by an oriental carpet, is equipped with a digital LCD TV and comfortable seating for six, making it a perfect space for relaxation and entertainment.
Adjacent to the sitting room is the dining area, which boasts a large table accommodating six guests. This room features an original glass-fronted cupboard built into the wall, along with a stone-surrounded fireplace that adds to the cottage's charm. For family fun, a wooden chest filled with board games is conveniently placed under the window. The galley-style kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances to cater to guests’ needs, and it leads to a small utility area housing a washing machine, fridge freezer, and microwave.
Upstairs, the cottage offers two inviting bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with both a double and a single bed. Both rooms feature polished wood floors adorned with rugs, and the larger bedroom includes an ornate cast iron fireplace. The bathroom, also located on the first floor, is fitted with a free-standing roll-top bath, a shower cubicle, and a toilet. Outside, the tranquil rear garden, primarily laid to lawn with flower beds and mature shrubs, provides a peaceful retreat. Equipped with a gas BBQ, loungers, and a dining set, the garden is ideal for al fresco meals. The cottage is also conveniently situated near local attractions such as Wells Bishop's Palace and offers various outdoor activities, including cycling and horse riding.
