About this property

Bridgwater 5 miles. Situated in the hamlet of Fordgate on the Somerset Levels, this former 1860s railway worker's terrace cottage is just 80 yards from the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. This charming cottage is ideal for those wishing to enjoy walks or cycling directly from the property, and nature lovers will like the variety of wildlife that can be seen visiting the canal and surrounding Somerset Levels. This cosy country cottage retains its period charm but has been fully-modernised to provide a sitting room with laminate flooring, beams, a woodburning stove, a kitchen and a small dining area, as well as a bathroom all on the ground floor, whilst on the first floor is a double bedroom. Despite its rural setting, this cottage is still within easy access of Bridgwater and Junction 24 of the M5, making it an excellent base for visiting the many attractions on offer in the area, such as the seven-mile stretch of sandy beaches at Burnham-on-Sea, the Quantock Hills, the West Somerset coastline, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury, Wells and Bath. This delightful cottage is a wonderful base for your holiday, at any time of year.

The town of Bridgwater offers a bustling shopping centre, several buildings of historical interest, restaurants and pubs. Close by are the Mendip Hills and Quantocks, as well as Cheddar and Glastonbury.
