Characterful two-bed detached cottage with mature garden and garage, offered chain-free..
Detached former chapel with strong period character
Chapel Cottage is a characterful former chapel tucked into the rural village of North Wootton, offering a rare detached two-bedroom home with generous room proportions. Original features such as the stone Gothic-arched window and a recessed wood burner add charm, while the large dining room and dual-aspect sitting room create flexible living and entertaining space. The property sits on a decent, mature landscaped plot with paved seating areas, lawns and well-stocked borders, plus driveway parking and a single garage (partially converted to provide a store and an office).
Practical points are straightforward: the house is freehold and chain-free, connected to mains water and electricity, and in Council Tax Band D. Heating is by electric storage heaters and glazing was upgraded after 2002; drainage is private. The garage conversion gives useful ancillary workspace but reduces vehicle storage; the garage still provides parking and a separate store. The location suits village living with Wells, Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet within easy reach and good local schools nearby.
Buyers should note the property’s construction and services: stone walls are assumed uninsulated and heating is electric storage, which can be costly compared with gas; private drainage may require specific maintenance. There is a medium flood risk rating—worth checking insurance and local flood records. The house offers clear refurbishment and energy-efficiency improvement potential for someone wanting to modernise while keeping strong period character.
