Full Description: Little Rock is a delightful property brimming with character and features spectacular far-reaching views from every room encompassing Wrington Vale, the Mendip Hills and surrounding farmland. Believed to have been constructed in 1711 from locally quarried stone, it was originally a pair of cottages, likely combined into one about the time of the Second World War.It retains all the charm of a traditional country cottage with cosy rooms characterised by deep recessed windows with diamond leading, beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and an AGA.Complementing the house are the grounds 0.37 acres which are superbly landscaped and maintained. Immediately surrounding the house are established cottage gardens and to the left a hidden surprise; "The Dell," a magnificently landscaped rockery that leads down the valley in a series of terraces and winding paths.An attractive storm porch with space for a pretty garden bench and storage leads to a welcoming front door that opens into the entrance hall. To the left is the sitting room with an attractive beamed ceiling, and quintessential inglenook fireplace with bread oven and open fire. Dual aspect windows offer magnificent far-reaching views to both sides of the property. A latched door opens to the study, which again has stunning views from deep recessed windows.Returning to the hallway, there is a large cloak/boot room with practical storge space. To the right the dining room, which provides a cosy space for entertaining and time with family. It has another inglenook fireplace, a quaint window seat, alcove shelving and traditional beams.A small passageway with useful storage space opens onto the kitchen/breakfast room with a cream electric AGA at its heart. It also has an electric induction hob, integrated dishwasher, oven and space for a fridge/freezer. Behind here is also a roomy walk-in larder.Completing the ground floor accommodation is a quarry-tiled utility/boot room with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, chest freezer and a separate w.c. Access to the garden is via a stable door.Two staircases rise to the first floor, which has three double bedrooms. Each offers storage and glorious far-reaching views with the principal having an en-suite bathroom. An additional family bathroom also has magnificent views to the countryside.Outside – Set on a plot of 0.37 acres, Little Rock has a wonderful cottage garden adjacent to the house. A large sweeping lawn is framed by beautiful borders with a mixture of mature shrubs and perennials. Stone borders and walls are used to blend the garden with the surrounding countryside creating a truly attractive space. "The Dell," a terraced rockery does this to superb effect as well, as it wends its way down the side of the valley towards Pig Lane, a footpath that leads on down to the hamlet of Rickford.Little Rock also has a garage with useful workshop to the side and a stone outbuilding at the top of the garden.EPC Rating: FBrochuresBrochure 1
