Pippins

Pippins is a picture postcard country cottage nestled in the charming Somerset village of North Perrott - not far from the Dorset border. This cosy home can cater for all of the family (including your four-legged friends). It is an ideal spot to explore the nearby National Trust houses at Montacute and Barrington Court or for a day at the beach; Lyme Regis and West Bay are within striking distance.

Stepping into this Grade II listed, terraced cottage you will instantly feel ready for your holiday. There is a wonderful cosy feel and the plentiful original features make the cottage totally charming. The hall leads to the formal dining-room, where you can catch up over some dinner after a busy day's exploring and maybe enjoy a board game or two! You also step from the hall into the sitting-room with beautiful original fireplace - a lovely spot to sit with a cup of tea and read a book. The kitchen leads off this room and has all the 'mod-cons' you need, including a fabulous electric range style cooker.

The garden is west-facing and catches the afternoon and evening sun, so sit out and enjoy a spot of al fresco dining. Being all enclosed, the garden lends itself well to children and dogs (please be aware that there is a right of way across the garden for neighbouring cottages, with a gate on each side of the garden but this is used very infrequently).

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and they share the modern, family bathroom. The main bedroom is a great size and has a gorgeous exposed hamstone chimney breast. Feature wallpaper and more exposed features in the second bedroom make this a peaceful space to switch off and relax, (take care when heading into the second bedroom, as there is a low lintel). Next to the bathroom is the third bedroom, which is a good-sized single with pretty views over the garden. Whether you are a couple, friends or family with children, the bedroom set-up offers excellent flexibility.
