AN idyllic chocolate box cottage set in a wonderful pocket of the West Somerset countryside is available for £475,000.
Angels Welcome boasts a blend of rural charm and modern convenience, providing all the comforts and amenities that anyone would need, all the while featuring incredible views right on the property’s doorstep.
The grade-two listed building is sat in the beautiful hamlet of Capton, on the edge of Williton, providing an ideal environment for enjoying some peaceful seclusion and creating the perfect place for a countryside retreat.
The welcoming nature of this cottage is apparent from the moment anyone steps through the front door for the first time. Guests and residents alike will be immediately greeted with the characterful interior which runs through the entirety of this property.
The front porch features a bullseye glass door and has a side aspect. A glazed door leads into the rear porch with a full-height storage cupboard, while a stable door opens through to the entrance hall, which showcases a quarry-tiled floor and under-stairs storage.
Entering the main hallway from the porch, the sitting room is placed immediately to the left. It has a slate-tiled floor, enjoys views of the beautiful rear garden, features a cosy fireplace with a multi-fuel stove set into a stone surround and has a wooden beam running across the ceiling.
This room is spacious, helping to provide a more sociable and comfortable experience for all wanting to take some time to relax in this sitting room.
The view, the fireplace and the remainder of the interior all combine perfectly to enhance this cottage’s charm and beauty, helping to make anyone feel at home right away.
Equally as charming is the kitchen, which is found down the other end of the hallway.
The kitchen is a bright and practical space, fitted with traditional cabinets and a range of appliances including an oil-fired Rayburn oven for cooking and hot water, providing both convenience and character to the cooking process.
The quarry-tiled flooring, tiled splash-backs and another exposed beam on the ceiling all add character to the space, contrasting well with the modern utilities and appliances available beautifully, creating a charm rarely matched by other properties.
The kitchen doubles up as a dining room with the ample space accommodating modern family living. With so much space, dinner can become more of a communal experience for everyone, enjoying good food and good conversations at the same time.
Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom, which is equipped with a white suite including a panelled bath, pedestal washbasin, and low-level WC, all set against a quarry-tiled floor.
Ascending the stairs, the first-floor landing offers stunning, far-reaching views of the Quantock Hills as well as access to the roof space and airing cupboard.
The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes providing more practical space to move around in every day. It also enjoys its own incredible views of the rolling hills.
The second bedroom has its own great views as it overlooks the charming rear gardens, and the same views are shared by the third bedroom, which also has its own unique feature in its possession of painted wooden floorboards.
The bedrooms each have their own wonderful slice of the Somerset countryside, providing front row seats to witnessing many gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, an experience that may never tire.
The first floor is rounded out by the one shower room which is shared between the occupants of the three bedrooms. It is fitted with a tiled cubicle, a Mira Sport electric shower, and a WC and pedestal basin.
The gardens are perhaps one of the property’s biggest attractions. It wraps around the property thanks to its generous size, showcasing a lush lawn interspersed with shrubs, plants, and mature fruit trees, including plum, fig, and cherry.
Raised vegetable beds and fruit bushes occupy this garden, adding a great opportunity for those who enjoy growing their own crops to get stuck in and give the cottage their own personal touch.
The gardens are large and magnificent, truly enhancing the serene charm that oozes from this cottage. The diverse range of trees and plants that surround the garden will help residents feel closer to nature.
The garden also offers even more incredible sights of the Quantock Hills. With an outdoor sofa set, there is nowhere better to enjoy warm summer days, long evening sunsets and generally relax and unwind right on the countryside’s doorstep.
The property also comes with a modern garage of ample size which is equipped with an electric roller door, power, and lightin. It offers excellent storage options for various types of items. The garage also has significant potential as a workshop, thanks to the aforementioned storage and space.
The location of this home is described as semi-rural. The countryside is on the property’s doorstep but other towns and conveniences are not far away.
Williton is north of Capton and provides many of the amenities that are necessary for day to day living, including shops, petrol stations, pubs and restaurants, as well as a train station. A bit further out is Watchet, which provides many of the same benefits as well as being ideal for a day out at the coast. Minehead is about a 25-minute drive away from Capton and is another great seaside destination. Taunton is roughly a 40-minute drive away, meaning this cottage boasts the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and social accessibility.
