For Sale3 Bedroom Cottage in Warminster Road, Beckington, BA11£500,000

A handsome detached cottage with three bedrooms and three reception rooms, plus an enclosed garden to the front. Rylands Cottage is a pretty double fronted Georgian Grade II Listed cottage within the attractive and popular village of Beckington. Over the last couple of decades, it has been sympathetically extended to add a modern kitchen, third bedroom and a super orangery style reception room. The handsome Bath stone façade has the classic Georgian symmetry with a central pediment over the front door and three windows on each side. The entrance is flanked by two cosy reception rooms; one a charming sitting room with an ornate fireplace with stone surround; the other a dining hall with wide elm floorboards. The adjacent kitchen has been recently refurbished, once again with wide elm floorboards, plus, shaker style units under a wooden work surface and integrated appliances. This then leads to the orangery, a wonderful light filled reception room with a glazed ceiling and double doors flanked by tall Georgian style windows, perfect in the summer months as the doors open directly out into the garden. The detail of the stonework on the front elevation has been mirrored and hand carved, a charming attention to detail. There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, both with double aspect and a pleasant view to the front plus the recently refurbished bathroom. The third bedroom is on the lower ground floor and could also be used as a home office, as it has a separate little door leading onto the pathway. Outside Located in the middle of a short pedestrian lane, Rylands Cottage can be accessed by foot from below on the Warminster Road in the heart of the village, or above in the cul-de-sac location called Rylands. Unrestricted on-street parking at both ends is available. The garden is situated to the front of the house and is enclosed by stone and brick with mature shrubs adding interest and privacy. The level lawn has a stone path leading to the terrace in front of the orangery, a perfect area for relaxing and dining.
