Mistletoe Cottage is a period stone house sitting on a very large 0.89-acre plot on the village edge of Haselbury Plucknett. The house offers a generous kitchen/breakfast room, two reception rooms with newly installed woodburning stoves, and a garden room that frames broad Somerset countryside views. A substantial detached stone barn with a powered office adds functional outbuilding space and home-working potential.
The accommodation includes three double bedrooms, a single bedroom/study, an ensuite dressing/shower area and a family bathroom. The property is double glazed (installed 2002 or later) and heated by an LPG boiler with radiators; mains water and electricity are connected. Broadband is reported as fast and the setting is quiet with very low local crime, making the house well suited to families seeking rural living or buyers wanting a hobby-farm feel close to Crewkerne.
Practical considerations are clear and should be factored into any viewing decision. Drainage is via a septic tank and heating uses a private LPG supply (submerged tank on site). The stone walls are original (sandstone/limestone) and are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades may be desirable. Council tax is described as expensive. The adjacent paddock (0.61 acres) is included and provides direct access to open fields.
Overall the property offers character, generous outdoor space and useful outbuildings in a peaceful location. Buyers wanting immediate low-maintenance living will find much to like; those looking to improve energy performance or reduce running costs should allow budget for insulation, heating system changes or septic maintenance.
