Nestled in a Mendip valley, with a skyline of steep wooded hills, is the historic village of Croscombe. The village is in a designated conservation area where ancient buildings include Tudor manor houses, a lovely church and the Bull Terrier pub, licensed since 1612! Croscombe has a thriving community with a school, village hall, post office, shop, play park and bus service. Laurel House is a 15th century, Grade II listed building, the end cottage of a row of four, situated on the village road, near the village centre. Wonderful, unusual features include the Victorian tiled hallway leading to the lounge, which has a restored inglenook fireplace with woodburner, an historic sacred basin for blessed water and an ancient archway leading to the original spiral staircase. The bedrooms have rural views over Paradise Hill and care is needed entering the twin room due the combined low doorway and step down. From the spacious kitchen there are two steps up to the utility area, bathroom and access to the pretty garden. The garden is shared with the owner, who lives next door and there is a small, private seating area. You are welcome to make use of the owner's field, just a few minutes' walk away and ideal for anyone bringing their dog.

	From the village there are a variety of walks and the Mendip Way can be joined within a quarter of a mile. A circular walk wanders through ancient woodland, past the old Somerset and Dorset Line railway viaduct and gently climbs the Mendip slopes. Wells, with its magnificent cathedral and character shops is less than three miles away and Glastonbury, steeped in history and legend, is slightly further. Shopaholics will enjoy bargain hunting at Clarks Village in Street and the dramatic caves of Cheddar and Wookey Hole will captivate all ages. Croscombe has two village pubs serving excellent food and The Bull Terrier is listed in The Egon Ronay Pub Guide. Note: Non-Smokers Only. The owners have a small dog.
