This beautifully presented period cottage occupies a spot in the heart of the sought-after historic village of Halse, just seven miles away from Taunton.

The attractive red-brick country cottage, named The Old Bake House, has been refurbished to a very high standard by the current owners who have retained many of the period features.

Inside, a lovely entrance hall with solid oak flooring and a built-in pantry leads to a well-appointed sitting room with an open fireplace with a wood-burning stove, oak flooring and a chimney breast flanked by fitted dressers. The kitchen has an ‘Old Creamery’ shaker-style look with painted units, oak worksurfaces, an integrated dishwasher and plenty of space for appliances. A stable door opens to the rear garden and a doorway leads to the dining room, which in turn leads through to the study.

On the first floor, two landings give access to the three bedrooms and the beautifully fitted Victorian-style bathroom with a clawfoot bath and separate shower. The principal bedroom features a fireplace and attractive elm floorboards, the second bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an exposed timber beam, while the third bedroom has a large window seat with views of the open countryside.

Outside, an attractive stone wall and natural hedging form a boundary to the private country cottage garden. The beautifully landscaped garden has a block-paved patio, raised lawns, flower beds, a number of fruit trees and a lovely summer house.

At the front, there is parking space for one vehicle.
