Street Lane, South Brewham, Bruton, Somerset, BA10 0JZ

Lilac Cottage is an utterly charming, detached period cottage situated in this highly sought after village location on the edge of Bruton.

As featured in '25 Beautiful Homes' magazine and transformed by the current owner from small cottage with dark, and what felt like, cramped rooms he collaborated closely with a local architect to renovate the property into a light and bright space complete with a two-storey glass extension – really bringing the glorious gardens outside into the home.

The façade of the cottage is quintessential – with a mature virginia creeper adorning the front complimented by box hedging. Enter the impressive sitting room which opens into the rear extension. There are fireplaces at both ends.

Walking through to the full height glass extension you are struck by how cleverly this property works. The garden is literally laid out in front of you! This room is currently used as the dining room, but the space is very flexible. There is an open tread staircase to the first-floor landing where there is a wonderful viewing gallery from which to enjoy a morning coffee.

Off the dining room there is a stylish fully fitted modern kitchen with fitted appliances – this overlooks the garden. From here there is a utility room and cloakroom with a WC and hand basin.

Upstairs the property has again been reconfigured and now offers three bedrooms – one ensuite, wet room and cloakroom with WC and hand basin.

The gardens of this distinctive home are really the jewel in the crown. Thoughtfully designed to bring the best of the south facing aspect and the wonderful open views to the rear. Elegant stone steps lead to the main garden which is lawned with a variety of trees and shrubs. There is the addition of a c.17' shepherds hut which has power, water, and the benefit of a pull-down double bed. There is also an outside kitchen and a terrace from which al fresco dining would be a must!

There is off-street parking for two cars.
