This charming property is nestled on the outskirts of Compton Dundon, a quaint village in the picturesque Somerset countryside, yet it is conveniently located less than five miles from two vibrant towns, each offering unique attractions for day trips. The town of Street is renowned for the Clarks shopping village, where bargain hunters can indulge in browsing through numerous factory outlet stores. In contrast, the historic town of Glastonbury boasts an eclectic mix of quirky shops and independent eateries, alongside the serene Chalice Well Gardens and the evocative ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, which is famously believed to be the burial site of King Arthur.
Designed with thoughtfulness and care, this property provides an ideal setting for birdwatching enthusiasts, particularly on the nearby Somerset levels, where starling murmurations can be witnessed. Guests can also embark on a walk up Lollover Hill, a designated Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI) for ornithology. Upon arrival, visitors will immediately appreciate the architectural elegance of the oak-framed building, characterized by exposed beams and expansive windows that enhance the grandeur of the open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area.
The lounge area is furnished with comfortable seating, perfectly positioned to take in the stunning views of the expansive gardens, and is equipped with a TV and DVD for entertainment. The bespoke kitchen is well-appointed with modern appliances, including an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine. Additionally, the property offers flexible sleeping arrangements with twin beds located near the kitchen, accommodating up to four guests. A bright bathroom featuring a shower over bath and WC is conveniently located on the ground floor, while the double bedroom is situated on a mezzanine level, accessible via open tread wooden stairs, offering skylight windows for stargazing, albeit with some reduced head height.
Outside, guests can relish the spacious lawned garden, equipped with garden furniture and a BBQ, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco in the tranquil surroundings. The property also invites guests to explore the owners' land and woodland, providing an opportunity to interact with the animals on site. Ample off-road parking is available, ensuring a hassle-free stay in this delightful retreat, perfect for couples or small families seeking a peaceful getaway in the heart of Somerset.
