This attractive stone and thatch cottage sits in the active village of Mosterton and has been sympathetically renovated to combine period charm with modern conveniences. The thatch has been recently renewed and the interior works include new bathrooms, kitchen, internal insulation and low-profile triple glazing. The house has been used successfully as a holiday let and is offered with no onward chain.
Accommodation is arranged over two storeys with three bedrooms, two shower rooms, three reception rooms and a useful utility. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style units and granite worktops; the sitting room benefits from a vaulted ceiling and Velux windows, while the dining room comfortably seats six to eight. Practical features include gravel off-street parking for two to three cars and a gated garden with gravel terrace, lawn and mature shrubs.
Buyer considerations: heating is mixed — the property has an oil-fired boiler and radiators plus some modern electric radiators — so running costs should be checked. The cottage dates from before 1900 and walls are described as granite/whinstone with no built-in insulation assumed, so long-term energy upgrades may be limited by the construction and the thatched roof will require regular specialist maintenance. There is a medium flood risk for the area; prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries.
Set midway between Beaminster and Crewkerne, the location offers village amenities within walking distance, good nearby schools and straightforward road links to the county town and coast. The property is freehold, Council Tax Band D and connected to mains water, electricity and drainage.
