Sellers insight

Coate Cottage has been our wonderful family home for over twenty years and has provided us with many joyous experiences and memories.
The idyllic location and beautiful cottage gardens offer a wealth of colour and wildlife and the peace and solitude is a haven away from bustling everyday life.

The cottage embraces you with its character and charm and the extensive sympathetic improvements that we have implemented combine the beautiful period features with modern amenities.

On the doorstep are stunning bridleways and footpaths, or you can cycle on country lanes to the local villages and we have spent many wonderful hours on nearby Exmoor and the Quantock Hills.
The cottage will be a wrench to leave and hopefully, we won't be moving far away.
Step inside


The property is entered via a welcoming porch into a charming hallway, which gives access to a useful utility room and a separate cloakroom. From here, you step into the beautiful dining room, complete with an inglenook-style fireplace and a cottage window overlooking the gardens.

Thanks to a thoughtful extension, the true heart of the home is now the country-style kitchen/dining/family room. This wonderful space is fitted with a modern electric Esse, a butler-style sink and solid pine units, providing both practicality and style.

There is ample room for a dining table and chairs, while at the far end a relaxed seating area enjoys an aspect over the gardens through French doors.
The sitting room is equally well appointed, with a wood-burner, and a connecting garden room providing direct access to the outside. Tucked discreetly off the sitting room is a useful study area, ideal for home working.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous double with built-in wardrobes, countryside views to both front and rear, and an en suite shower room. Bedrooms two, three and four are all good-sized doubles, each enjoying uninterrupted views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. The landing also offers a delightful tucked-away nook, perfect as a reading area or for other pursuits.

Completing the accommodation is a stylish family bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower enclosure.
Step outside

A gravelled driveway leads to the rear of the cottage, where there is generous parking and turning space together with two large garages, both fitted with power and lighting, and an adjoining woodstore.

The gardens extend to around 0.71 acre and wrap around the cottage, offering beautiful countryside views from every aspect. Over the past twenty years, the current owners have carefully designed and established the grounds to maximise enjoyment of both the sun and the outlook, creating a variety of seating areas interspersed with well-stocked flower borders, shrubs, trees and bushes.

Extensive lawns provide the perfect playground for children, while an enclosed area once housed the family’s pet pig. For those seeking a slice of the good life in a truly idyllic setting, Coate Cottage offers just that.
