Cranmore is home to the East Somerset Railway, which runs a 5-mile scenic round trip through the Mendips. The market town of Shepton Mallet is just 3.5 miles away, while Frome is 9 miles away, boasting an array of independent boutiques and galleries. For days out, the stately home and drive-through safari at Longleat are just 14 miles away, while Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge can both be reached within 16 miles. Garden lovers won’t want to miss the extraordinary landscapes of Stourhead, 14 miles away, while for history, museums, shopping and food, the elegant city of Bath is 17 miles away.
This end-of-terrace cottage has been thoughtfully renovated and is both spacious and inviting, with a real home-from-home feeling. Step into the cosy lounge and admire its rural views before stretching out on the soft seating, ready for sociable evenings with your favourite shows streaming on the Smart TV. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’ll need for preparing hearty meals – there’s room for snacks at the breakfast table or larger gatherings in the atmospheric dining room, which has an exposed-stone wall, flame-effect electric fire, and a TV. A convenient cloakroom with a basin and WC completes the ground floor. Cottage-style wooden stairs lead you up to the first floor, where you’ll find four charming bedrooms, each with ample storage: two double rooms, one with a TV, and two cosy single bedrooms. Completing the interior is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath, offering rejuvenating starts to each day away.
Step out to the back garden to find a real surprise – a huge, lawned area with far-reaching country views. Equipped with a table and chairs for al fresco dining, this is the perfect place to enjoy a family meal in the sunshine. Guests will also benefit from private parking for four cars.
