Ball Cottage, Winsford

Winsford, Somerset

Ball Cottage has all the character you would expect from a 17th century cottage and the comforts you need today. The sitting room has an open fire and a disused bread oven; upstairs there’s a very old leaded window; and the floors are mainly wood or tile. The cottage has roses climbing up the wall and is set in a large garden. At the back is a beautiful spot where you can sit beside the River Exe near an old packhorse bridge. When the river is low, children have a great time paddling and exploring. There are three bedrooms: a double bedroom downstairs, and two bedrooms upstairs, one double and one twin. The cottage sleeps up to 5 guests (max 4 adults) so your sleeping arrangements can be flexible. The bathroom upstairs has recently been redesigned; it has a bath, powerful shower, large heated towel rail and a shaver point. Ball Cottage sits beside the quiet Exford road on the edge of Winsford, one of the most beautiful villages in the Exmoor National Park. It's an easy stroll into the village. The sea is at Minehead, 14 miles away. The kitchen/dining room has a gas hob, electric oven, fridge, washer/dryer, microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee-maker and plug-in radio. The freezer is in the utility room. There is a full complement of saucepans, kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockery and glasses. In the sitting-room there is a flat screen television with Sky and DVD player. Wireless broadband is available throughout the cottage.
