2 Bedroom Cottage in Blackford, North Cheriton
In the peaceful village of North Cheriton, surrounded by the glorious Somerset countryside, is Fives Court, a beautiful historic cottage of traditional stone, converted from a 17th Century barn.
Inside, the kitchen-dining room has been refurbished, and has beautiful flagstone floors. With plenty of worktop space and a dining table to seat four, it is very well-equipped with electric oven and hob, washer-dryer, dishwasher, kettle toaster and microwave.
The living room is wonderfully homely and welcoming with a wood-burning stove, leather recliner sofas and freeview TV, perfect to relax and unwind after a day of exploring in the fresh air. There is also an additional table and chairs in the living room, great for jigsaws, crosswords and poring over the OS map planning the next days route!
Stairs from the living room lead to the first floor, where the cosy bedrooms have a lovely cottage feel with old exposed beams and sloping ceilings. The master bedroom has a king size bed, and the second has two singles. The bathroom is also up on the first floor and has a full size bath with an electric shower over.
The cottage is situated in the courtyard opposite the owner's house, where there a picnic bench on the gravelled area to sit out and enjoy the afternoon sun, and also off-road parking for one car. Please note the courtyard is not large enough to accommodate commercial vehicles, so guests will not be able to arrive in anything larger than a transit size van.
The gate to the road can be closed if needed, for the safety of young children.
There is also a selection of pets including chickens, rare breed Zwartbles sheep and Shetland ponies, which the owners will happily take guests across the fields to see.
The high wall on the cottage end has given Fives Court its name, being historically used to play the ancient ball game of Fives, and is one of only six remaining walls from such an early date across all of Somerset and Dorset.
