Historic Countryside Cottage and Shepherds Hut | Cottage in Chard
6 Bedroom Cottage in Bishopswood, Chard
Nestled in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is our home, The Mill Leat. A 17th century cottage set in over 1.5 acres that has been 'played' with over time but has the most wonderful charm and magic as you turn into the drive.
The property consists of a thatched cottage with 4 bedrooms on the first floor and 1 bedroom on the ground floor. There is also a Shepherds Hut in the raised garden area of the property.
We are a British family living in the USA (we moved for a work assignment and seem to have stayed a while longer!) and this is our home base when we come back to our home country. With aging parents locally it is important that we have our own English home from home.
The house is new to us as of the Summer 2022 and we have spent the time re-painting from top to bottom, adding new carpets, furnishing from scratch, undertaking a huge overhaul of the 1.5 acre gardens and added a new bespoke kitchen with a beautiful electric Aga which was fitted December 2022.
The vintage pieces are all new to me - I love to mix the old with the new and a house that is several hundred years old cannot look too modern!
The house suits a multi-generational family very well. The downstairs bedroom not only has it's own front door but it has a double bedroom with en-suite shower and toilet, a Smart Tv and coffee and tea making facilities. This is where my Mum hangs out when she stays with us at Christmas and the Summer.
The Shepherds hut is a favourite of my teenage son who likes to feel grown up but it's where my in-laws stay at Christmas - it has a fully fitted kitchen, lounge area, LPG run "log burner" and bathroom.
We have a stream that runs along the property where if you are lucky you will see the kingfisher zoom past.
We have beautiful gardens that we are bringing to life with 2 professional gardeners
We have a Shepherds Hut that is a stand alone tiny home
We have a herb garden to sit in and snooze.
We have a gastro pub at the end of the drive that has the most wonderful food to enjoy
We are a 30 min drive to the coast and are on the border of Devon.
We have walking galore!
