A compact Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage with genuine period character in the centre of Crewkerne. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and sash windows give immediate charm, while two reception rooms and three bedrooms provide flexible living over two floors. The property suits someone who values town-centre convenience and heritage features and is willing to work within listed-building constraints.
Practicalities are clear: the house is freehold, modest in footprint with a small enclosed rear courtyard, and has one bathroom. On-street parking is the local norm and double-yellow lines are nearby, so parking may be limited for regular car users. Broadband is average and mobile signal is excellent. Council tax is described as affordable.
Buyers should note material constraints. The listed status will restrict alterations and likely require listed-building consent for many changes; surveys and specialist advice are recommended. Windows are single-glazed sash style and some fittings are traditional rather than modern, so upgrading (subject to consent) could improve thermal performance and comfort. The area records above-average crime levels compared with regional norms.
This house will appeal to buyers seeking an authentic period home in a walkable town-centre location—ideal for downsizers, families wanting central access, or buyers planning a sympathetic refurbishment. It offers immediate character and clear potential, but also practical limitations that should be factored into any offer.
