A highly attractive two-bedroom period cottage situated on a peaceful lane in the heart of the desirable village of Compton Dundon and surrounded by rolling countryside. 
Constructed of traditional Blue Lias stone beneath a thatched roof, this charming home is full of character and original features throughout and is believed to date back several centuries. It is not listed.

The accommodation includes a welcoming sitting room with inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, a country-style kitchen, a newly constructed sunroom, two bedrooms, bathroom and an ensuite cloakroom.

Outside, the property enjoys very generous and beautifully landscaped gardens, a gravel driveway providing off-road parking, garage, workshop and a large garden shed.

Location
Beacon Cottage is situated along a quiet lane within Compton Dundon, which is a highly regarded village situated amongst beautiful Somerset countryside, well known for its pretty period properties and welcoming community. The nearby towns of Somerton, Street, Glastonbury and Castle Cary provide a full range of everyday amenities, including shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets.

There is a wide selection of excellent state and independent schools locally, including Millfield School, Crispin, St Dunstan’s and Wells Cathedral School. Castle Cary provides a mainline railway station with services to London Paddington.

Accommodation
The front door opens into a useful oak-framed entrance porch with tiled flooring and leads through to the kitchen -perfect for removing muddy boots before entering the main house.

Fitted with a range of farmhouse-style cabinetry and a ceramic sink with mixer tap, the kitchen enjoys stunning, far-reaching views over open countryside. There is an oil-fired AGA, an electric oven and space for a dishwasher and laundry appliances. Exposed beams, tiled flooring and spot lighting complete the space.

From here, a door leads into the delightful sitting room – a characterful and cosy space featuring exposed masonry and ceiling beams, a deep window seat, fitted shelving, and a large stone inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove. Oak panelled doors open to the bathroom and garden room, with an oak staircase rising to the first floor.

The bathroom is well-appointed with a panelled bath, shower enclosure, WC and wash basin. There is a heated towel rail, part-tiled walls and rear aspect window.

The newly constructed sunroom provides an additional living space and enjoys a lovely outlook over the beautiful rear garden, as well as access through French doors, with a further door to the side. Radiator heating and power ensure year-round use.

On the first floor are two bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with views over both the rear garden and countryside to the front, and features exposed masonry and ceiling beams. The second bedroom includes an en-suite cloakroom and exposed character features.

Outside
The large, south-facing rear garden offers a high degree of privacy and is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with a good variety of mature shrubs, trees and flowering plants. A rockery and ornamental pond add further interest, while numerous sunny and shady seating areas allow for al fresco dining and relaxation.

There is also a handy large garden shed, a garage, a workshop and side access to the front of the property.

To the front is a charming, enclosed cottage style garden with mature planting and stone wall boundaries. A gravel driveway provides off-street parking and access to the garage and workshop.
