Summary - IVY COTTAGE, MAIN STREET, YEOVIL, MUDFORD BA21 5TE
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Character home with large workshop, studio and extensive parking.
Grade II listed thatched cottage dating from c.1740
Ivy Cottage is a greatly extended Grade II listed thatched cottage set in the heart of Mudford, backing onto open farmland. The house combines original character — exposed beams, leaded windows and vaulted ceilings — with practical outbuildings: a large two-storey workshop and a first-floor studio/office above. A substantial block-paved driveway provides parking for five to six cars and gated access to the former double garage. The rear garden is attractively planted with a raised decking area offering countryside views.
The accommodation suits a family or buyer seeking a character home with flexible space. The ground floor offers a sitting room with LPG stove, a well-fitted but dated 1980s kitchen, dining room (originally a ground-floor bedroom) and cloakroom/shower room. Upstairs are two principal bedrooms, one with a mezzanine study/dressing area, plus a fully tiled first-floor shower room. The annexe-style workshop has a shower and cloakroom, with a versatile studio above that could be a home office or hobby room.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed and will bring restrictions and potential additional costs for repairs, alterations and maintenance of the thatched roof. Walls are solid brick with no built-in insulation (assumed), and the main heating fuel is oil/LPG which can be more expensive than mains gas. The kitchen is dated and there is scope for upgrading; the house will suit buyers prepared to manage maintenance and sensitive works to a historic building.
Overall this is a substantial, character-rich village home on a large plot, with useful outbuildings and excellent parking. It will appeal to buyers seeking countryside living close to Yeovil and local village amenities, who value period features and flexible workspace and accept the responsibilities of a listed, thatched property.
