Summary - The Old Forge, Wigborough, SOUTH PETHERTON TA13 5LP
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Characterful Grade II home with south garden, superb views and flexible living — chain free.
Grade II Listed — restrictions on alterations likely
Set in an attractive hamlet near South Petherton, this Grade II Listed four-bedroom detached home blends period character with comfortable, updated living. The property extends to about 2,041 sq ft and sits on a large, south-facing plot with enclosed gardens and excellent countryside views — ideal for children, pets and outdoor living. Parking is available on a private driveway and the home is offered chain-free.
Internally the layout is versatile: entrance porch, sitting room with open fire, dining room, kitchen, WC and a generous family room on the ground floor, with four bedrooms and a family bathroom above. Bedroom four is currently only accessible via bedroom one, so layout adjustments would be needed for full independence. There is realistic potential to create a self-contained annexe by linking the fourth bedroom and the family room, subject to any necessary consents.
Buyers should note the property’s Listed status will affect permitted works and may complicate extensions or alterations. The house has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners, but some buyers may want further refurbishment to personalise finishes. There is only one family bathroom which may not suit larger households without adaptation. Council tax is noted as expensive.
Location strengths include a quiet, semi-rural setting with fast broadband, average mobile signal, nearby outstanding primary schools and easy road access to Ilminster, Crewkerne, Yeovil and Taunton. For families seeking a private country home with character, generous outdoor space and flexible accommodation, The Old Forge offers a rare opportunity; for those wanting unrestricted remodelling, Listed constraints will be a material consideration.
