Home Orchard with its thatched roof, stone floors and oak studded doors is full of character and charm.
Very spacious and comfortable with open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, whitewashed walls and warm toasty aga.
There are two bedrooms with deep mattresses, 400 thread count cotton bedding, and super fluffy pillows, so you can settle in and truly relax. The first bedroom has a French style king-sized bed. The second bedroom can be arranged as a superking-sized double or as two single beds.
On the first floor you can find the bathroom which holds a large, walk-in rain-head shower. The house has a dual aspect open plan living/dining/kitchen area for four people. The sitting area has comfortable sofas and is equipped with a 42′ flatscreen TV. The kitchen area is modern and well equipped with a large central island, an electric two oven Aga, microwave, dishwasher, a large fridge-freezer and a washer-drier.
The house has a courtyard with an outdoor table and private parking area for two cars. The two front doors open out to the good-sized sheltered courtyard with outdoor table and chairs for alfresco eating or just enjoying a morning coffee. There is a private parking area with space for two cars. The courtyard is fully enclosed and is a safe place for little people and four legged friends!
Home Orchards rural location makes it a great escape for those looking for a countryside bolt-hole, with two great pubs within a short walk and things to see and do nearby, and convenient shopping at the village shop or in the quaint town of Ilminster just 2 miles away.
Home Orchard is situated in the heart of Broadway, a peaceful village surrounded by fields and woods that are perfect for countryside walks and bicycle rides due to the myriad of local country lanes and footpaths.
Within a few minutes walking distance are two pubs: The Bell Inn, Broadway and The Five Dials at Horton. There are several others a little further afield but nevertheless worth the visit.
Nearby the cottage are Dillington House and Barrington Court, two National Trust historic homes with beautiful gardens open to the public. Dillington House being 6.4 km away by car and Barrington Court being 12.4km.
There are several local cider producers whose orchards and presses are worth seeing close by. Perry's Cider Mill in Dowlish Wake has a small museum on offer and open all year round besides Christmas Day. There is also The Somerset Cider Brandy Company over at Burrow Hill that offers tastings and guided tours a little further field.
A little further away the beach at Lyme Regis and walks along the Jurassic coastline are 40mins or so to the South.
