LOCATION
Draycott is a much favoured village located in a sheltered position just south of the Mendip Hills and within two miles of Cheddar and six miles from Wells. Facilities include Post Office/General Stores, village school, Church, two local inns and a regular bus service to Wells, Cheddar and Weston Super Mare. Bristol and Bath are within daily commuting distance and the nearest M5 motorway junction is c.10 miles. Bristol International Airport is c.12 miles.

DIRECTIONS
From our Cheddar office in Union Street, turn right and then left at the junction with the Market Cross into Church Street. Continue following this road, the A371 Draycott Road, past the football ground into Draycott. Continue past Cross Farm Road on the right and School Lane on the left, taking the next turning left into New Road, just past the former Chapel. 'Micawbers' will be found a little way along on the right hand side, with an off road pull in bay just in front of wrought iron double gates.

The property is situated in a slightly elevated position in a quiet road within the parish of the quaint and popular Somerset village of Draycott. The road itself is not a through road, but leads only up onto the Mendip Hills and is therefore popular with ramblers and horse riders. Although Micawbers is nestled within a cluster of detached properties, some olde worlde and some character, high value new build, the area is very established and Micawbers still maintains a good level of privacy, both inside and outside. Additionally, the plot that the property stands on is, we believe, approaching a quarter of an acre and therefore the property does have a good level of space all around it. Being slightly elevated, the property also benefits from lovely country views across the village rooftops towards the Somerset levels to the front, and up towards the Mendip Hills to the rear. We would thoroughly recommend an accompanied viewing of Micawbers at your earliest convenience as properties of this quality, and built to this high standard, rarely become available.
