No. 17 Priory Gardens forms part of an enchanting terrace of south-facing cottages, enjoying a picturesque open outlook towards Pilton Church and set back along a private lane, offering an idyllic blend of tranquillity and charm.

From the moment you step inside, the quality and care poured into this exceptional home is immediately apparent. The current owner has sympathetically and thoughtfully enhanced the property throughout, preserving its rich character whilst introducing stylish, contemporary finishes. This is a home that has been lovingly maintained and impeccably presented, effortlessly blending period charm with modern-day living.

Deceptively spacious, the cottage reveals far more than first impressions suggest. The elegant living room is both inviting and full of character, featuring exposed beams, striking stonework and a charming fireplace with wood burner, creating a warm and atmospheric focal point. At the heart of the home lies a stunning kitchen/dining space, beautifully light-filled and thoughtfully arranged with an abundance of storage and preparation areas, perfectly suited to both relaxed family living and entertaining.

Complementing the ground floor is a delightful conservatory, offering a serene space to unwind whilst enjoying views over the garden, alongside a dedicated home office, cloakroom and practical utility areas, all designed with both style and functionality in mind.

To the first floor, the sense of space continues with three well-appointed bedrooms, each enjoying pleasant aspects, along with a beautifully finished bathroom, presented in a sleek and contemporary style.

Outside, the property truly excels. The front garden is a particular showpiece — a wonderfully landscaped and lovingly curated space, bathed in sunlight thanks to its favourable orientation. Thoughtfully planted borders, manicured lawns and a raised seating terrace create the perfect setting for al fresco dining and relaxation. To the rear, a private, low-maintenance courtyard offers further outdoor enjoyment.

Further benefits include a larger-than-average garage and off-road parking for one car, enhancing the practicality of this charming home.

This outstanding cob cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special and character-filled home, finished to an exceptional standard, in one of Pilton’s most desirable and picturesque settings.
