Description
Detached 4 bedroom home approaching 4 acres, far reaching views and double garage in the sought after village of Combe St Nicholas. EPC Band: E.
Barnclose Cottage is a charming detached family home set within an impressive plot, complete with extensive garaging. While the property would benefit from modernisation, it offers a superb position and generous grounds. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a spacious and light-filled kitchen dining room, featuring a breakfast bar, which leads through to a practical utility room with rear access and a WC. Continuing through the property, you will find a substantial living room with a wood-burning stove, an impressive stone fireplace, fitted storage, and triple-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a dining room with patio doors opening onto the rear of the property.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly impressive, boasting quadruple-aspect windows, three double fitted wardrobes, and a large en-suite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms are all well-proportioned doubles, each benefiting from fitted storage. The upstairs accommodation is completed with a spacious family bathroom with shower and bath.
