...on Dunster's West street, an historically fascinating, quirky cottage, once an open 'hall house' believed to date from the 1400s -one of the oldest buildings in Dunster. Now beautifully upgraded, furnished and decorated whilst retaining its charm, history and wonky floors.

Inside downstairs, tiled/stone floors with rugs, ancient timbers, leaded windows, beams.

Snug with easy chairs, games, books - a quiet reading room. Up 2 steps, to breakfast/dining area with French windows to courtyard and smartly fitted oak kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, range cooker). Behind a low medieval doorway, a utility room (washing machine and tumble drier, sink) and cloakroom (loo), perfect for wet coats, boots and dogs.
