A charming two-bedroom Grade II listed stone cottage set back from Sutton Benger High Street, Pennystone Cottage blends period character with practical living. The sitting room centres on a feature fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove; the kitchen/diner is bright, fitted and benefits from underfloor heating for cosy mornings. A useful stone-built outbuilding with power and lighting adds storage or home-workshop potential. Off-street gravel parking for one car and a small lawned garden complete the setting.
The cottage will suit a first-time buyer or downsizer who values character and village life — not someone seeking a large, low-maintenance new build. Accommodation totals about 600 sq ft with low ceilings in places and a compact layout; Bedroom 2 is notably small. Heating is mainly electric (storage heaters) with underfloor heating only in the kitchen/diner and shower room. As a Grade II listed building, alterations will be restricted and any upgrade work (insulation, glazing, rewiring if needed) may require listed-building consent and specialist contractors.
Practical benefits include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and convenient access to the M4 (J17) for commuting to Bath, Bristol or Swindon. Local amenities in the village include two pubs, a post office store, a primary school and a well-regarded restaurant. The property is offered freehold with council tax band C and no flood risk, but note EPC exemption due to listed status.
