Hedging, North Newton, Bridgwater, Somerset, TA7

A simply stunning detached residence which has been renovated and extended over recent years. Found in an ever popular, quiet country location.

Orchard Cottage is offered to the market in excellent condition throughout. When purchased by the current owners, the home originally stood as a period house requiring renovation, before works took place 10 years ago to create the exceptional residence which stands today. Having been almost doubled in size and improved in every area, the Orchard Cottage is now an exciting prospect for any potential purchaser.

Internally the accommodation is cleverly designed over two floors, to perfectly accommodate modern family life. To the ground floor, an entrance hall leads to all areas, with stunning wood-effect tiling working its way through into the L-shaped kitchen / diner. An array of contemporary wall and base units wrap around the far left side of the room, with granite worktops and upstands, a Smeg range cooker and integrated dishwasher. The kitchen / diner acts equally as a delightful family room, with space for both dining and relaxing, with bi-fold doors leading to the attractive patio beyond. A former brick fireplace adds character within the dining space, while the sash uPVC windows to the front aspect boast stylish white shutters. A utility room can be found beyond the kitchen, with a large built in freezer and further wall & base units, whilst the larger than average, ground floor w/c can be located through a further door. To the front of the home the lounge is an inviting and snug area, with an original wood burning fireplace adding excellent charm. Expertly designed cabinets and shelves are fit within the alcoves and decorative wooden wall panels have been recently fitted, while a further sash window overlooks the front aspect.

To the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom spans across the length of the right side of the property. A wonderful and light area, enjoying natural light from three separate aspects. A Juliet balcony overlooks the garden and beyond, while a wide range of fitted wardrobes are aligned along one wall. A door from the main bedroom leads directly into the bathroom, showing clear flexibility if any purchaser desired an en-suite. Set in a 'Jack & Jill' layout, the bathroom is an excellent example of modern contemporary fitments, with a double ended bath and open shower. Across the landing, the second bedroom is of excellent size. If required or desired, any purchaser could look to split this large double room to create a fourth bedroom, still leaving a spacious double bedroom and further single in its place. The third and final bedroom is a single bedroom, with a view over the rear aspect.

Orchard Cottage is fitted with a complete range of efficient and modern appliances. The home is warmed by an air source heat pump, with underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor, while owned solar panels on the roof generate excellent savings every year. The home boasts new uPVC double glazed windows throughout, while the vendors have retained original character by choosing sash windows to front.

An early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate this beautiful home in a countryside setting.

Orchard Cottage sits to the South side of the village of North Newton, which lies approximately 6 miles from Taunton and 6 miles from Bridgwater and provides a primary school, village pub and church. A tearoom and independent bar at the boat centre can be found within easy walking distance. Taunton offers an extensive range of shopping, educational, sporting and cultural facilities with a direct line rail link to London Paddington. Motorway access can be gained approximately 3 miles away at junction 24 of the M5 motorway and the cities of Bristol and Exeter are within an hours drive in either direction.

Externally the property enjoys multiple off-road parking spaces both to the side and front. A large garage can be found adjoining the home to one side, fitted with light and power and accessed from the front by an electric roller door, while a pedestrian door directly into the garden sits to the rear. The wrap around garden is a real sun-trap, enjoying sunlight throughout the entire day. The space laid to both patio and lawn, with a well-designed outbuilding sat in one corner. A hugely flexible area, fitted with both light and power, the outbuilding could be used for a range of purposes, such as gym, studio, office or other means.
