Discover Timeless Charm And Tranquility At The Enchanting Abbey Cottage Retreat
Step Into Your Very Own Storybook Romance at Abbey Cottage **no onwards chain**
If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a setting straight out of The Holiday—where time slows, nature wraps around you like a comforting quilt, and history whispers through ancient stone walls—then Abbey Cottage may just steal your heart.
Nestled within 0.75 acres of private, sheltered gardens, this Grade II listed, stone-built cottage is a true rural hideaway. Tucked beneath a charming thatched roof and framed by the ivy-clad remnants of a 13th-century Cistercian Abbey, the property offers a rare blend of historic character, modern comfort, and movie-scene tranquility.
For Garden Lovers and Daydreamers...
Wander through your very own secret garden filled with mature trees, box hedging, and sun-dappled lawns. Tend to your plants in the greenhouse, potter in the large garden shed, or simply sit with a book and a cup of tea under the leafy canopy, with the Abbey ruins as your backdrop.
For History Enthusiasts... Live within history itself—where the Abbey walls once witnessed monks at prayer, today you’ll host summer picnics, garden parties, or quiet moments of reflection.
For Cosy Winter Evenings...Inside, you’ll find two character-filled reception rooms, each with impressive inglenook fireplaces—one housing a wood-burning stove, the other featuring an oil-fired aga and an original bread oven. Exposed beams, latch doors, and sloping eaves add to the storybook feel. Upstairs, three double bedrooms offer peaceful spaces to unwind. The upstairs hallway has large built in cupboards offering ample storage.
For Modern Living (With Character Intact)... A newly fitted kitchen and shower room, updated carpets throughout, and a recently installed lpg combi boiler bring 21st-century comfort to this timeless home. The property benefits from a modern treatment plant discreetly tucked away in the garden. High-speed internet access allows wfh, streaming and gaming.
Practical Perks (Because Even Dream Homes Need Them)... There’s extensive driveway parking for up to six cars, a detached stone and thatch garage/workshop, and previous (now lapsed) planning consent for a stunning green oak and glass garden room extension: Fast road links to the M5 and nearby market towns mean you’re connected—but blissfully removed.
For Families... You’re within the Uffculme School catchment area, with a school bus stop just a short stroll away. For primary school children, Hemlock Primary is a feeder
For Those Seeking Peace, Privacy, and a Life Less Ordinary... Abbey Cottage isn’t just a property. It’s an escape. A love story waiting to unfold. A sanctuary for garden lovers, history aficionados, romantic souls, and anyone longing for space, silence, and beauty.
Viewings are strictly by appointment with Pilkington. But be warned... One look, and you’ll be hooked.
