3 Bed Cottage in Croscombe

About this property

Offering cosy accommodation for up to five guests, this airy and tastefully presented holiday home is perfect for families and groups of friends planning days of walking, nature spotting and sightseeing across Somerset together. The property lies in the quiet village of Croscombe, just outside the medieval city of Wells (3 miles), which is home to Wells Cathedral and The Bishop’s Palace and Gardens. Glastonbury (8.5 miles) is to the south, where you will find the ruins of an ancient abbey, with other landmarks including Bridey Bell, Gog and Magog, and Glastonbury Tor. To the north, the beautiful Mendip Hills offer miles of walking trails, with both Wookey Hole (5 miles) and Cheddar Gorge (13.5 miles) within easy reach. Other local attractions include Ashton Windmill, Westhay Moor National Nature Reserve, RSPB Ham Wall and Walton Hill (all within 13 miles).

Step inside this welcoming home, where you'll find space to kick off your shoes in the entrance hallway before moving through to the light-filled lounge. On balmy days, slide open the glass door to the garden and let the living space fill with fresh countryside air; during the cooler months, a flame-effect electric fire casts a warm glow across the room. Unwind here as you sink into the comfortable seating, flick through the Smart TV or simply enjoy the rural views. When stomachs rumble, you'll find everything needed in the kitchen for cooking up holiday meals, which can be enjoyed in the dining room or alfresco on the patio. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility room and a family wet room with a shower and WC. Upstairs, three restful bedrooms await, including a double bedroom set under the eaves, another double with countryside views, and a cosy single bedroom enjoying the same peaceful outlook. Completing the first floor is a WC and a small study area, perfect for quiet moments with a book or catching up on any mid-holiday emails.

To the rear, a split-level garden is one of the property's highlights, offering beautiful views across the surrounding hills and countryside. A furnished patio invites scenic al fresco meals, while a quiet decked corner provides shaded seating that's perfect for evening tipples. At the bottom of the garden, an enclosed lawn invites lazy afternoons and garden games. Private off-road parking for three cars completes the picture, making arrivals and Somerset day trips easy.
