The property
Shepton Mallet 3 miles.
The Old Bell Tower was once used by the owners to practice bell ringing.
It has since been converted into a charming holiday cottage, ideal for a couple wanting a relaxing getaway in the Somerset countryside.
Inside the wooden-clad property you will find a beautifully decorated open-plan living area with kitchen, dining and sitting spaces, all of which furnished and fitted to the highest standard, with hand made, solid oak wood throughout.
Cook a delicious meal in the fully appointed kitchen, complete with Belfast sink, handmade granite work tops and oak cupboards, then take a seat at the dining table overlooking the rolling Mendip Hills.
This cosy yet bright room is the perfect place to return to after a day spent exploring the surrounding countryside.
Downstairs you will also find a modern family bathroom with large shower, and up the staircase an impressive king size bed with views over the owner's lake.
Outside is an enclosed garden featuring a mix of gravel and paving, with a love knot design at its centre.
One side of the furnished garden is a wooden fence that is shared with the field housing the farm's Alpacas.
The pleasingly designed garden is an extension of the high-quality finishing presented inside the property, offering a serene space to relax in the afternoon sun with a glass of wine.
Take in the views across the carp lake, which is also home to several varieties of waterfowl.
