Property description

Full of history and nestled on the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills, Westbury Sub Mendip is a picturesque Somerset village with a warm community spirit, and a bounty of beautiful walks in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Situated a short drive from historic Wells, England's smallest city, and within half an hour of Bristol Airport, this little slice of rural luxury is not too far from modern amenities. Old Ditch Cottage is thought to be at least 200 years old, and commands a prominent position at the meeting point of Lynch Lane and Longland's Lane. The pretty walled gardens provide a good degree of privacy with plenty of space for both recreation and growing vegetables. To the rear there is an open barn providing parking for two cars, and a further tiled outbuilding. A separate work room is located off the rear courtyard and would be suitable for a multitude of uses. The cottage itself has been carefully eased into the 21st Century, retaining many original features, and blending history with modern home comforts. With three double bedrooms all with built in wardrobes, two reception rooms, a well planned kitchen/diner, a stunning bathroom, central heating, gardens and outbuildings we think Old Ditch Cottage has it all going on!
