3 bed cottage for sale in Shiremoor Hill, Merriott, TA16 (ref: 8357349)

Idyllic Ham Stone cottage which has been renovated and updated by the current owners in recent years. The deceptively spacious accommodation comprises entrance porch, country fitted kitchen with original Blue Lias flagstone flooring and an Aga, large dining/family room, sitting room with log burner, cloakroom and utility room on the ground floor. To the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The mature and private, well stocked gardens are a particular feature - larger than one would expect in a village property with the benefit of backing onto open countryside and farmland. We would highly recommend an internal inspection to appreciate what this cottage has to offer.
