Pippin is a grade II thatched retreat full of romantic character and charm with its carefully restored interior, original flagstone floors, beams and oak studded doors. Cosy & comfortable with a separate kitchen, beamed lounge with dining area and an inglenook fireplace with toasty warm woodburning stove.

Wind up the spiral staircase to the romantic bedroom perfect for two with a French style king-sized bed, super comfortable deep mattress, 400 thread count cotton bedding, and fluffy pillows, so you can settle in and truly relax. There is an en-suite cloakroom with toilet and wash hand basin.  On the ground floor holds a bathroom with walk in rain head shower.

The kitchen is modern with an electric two oven Esse Stove, microwave, dishwasher, a large fridge-freezer and all that’s needed to cook up a feast. The spacious living area has a woodburning stove, flatscreen TV and comfy seating. The house has a courtyard with an outdoor table with space for two and private parking area for one car.

The house has a dual aspect living/dining room with an inglenook fire place and wood burning stove. The sitting area has a comfortable sofa, armchair and is equipped with a 32′ flatscreen TV.

The oak front door opens out to the good-sized sheltered courtyard with outdoor table and chairs for alfresco eating or just enjoying a morning coffee. Its rural location makes it a great escape for those looking for a countryside bolt-hole, with two great pubs within a short walk and things to see and do nearby, and convenient shopping at the village shop or in the quaint town of Ilminster just 2 miles away.
