Lanes Cottage is a well-presented period home in the heart of conservation village North Curry. The house combines original character—exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and thick granite walls—with recent upgrades: a new kitchen (2022), replacement double-glazed windows and gas central heating. The layout provides flexible family living with two reception rooms, a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite, three first-floor bedrooms and a conservatory overlooking the garden.
Practical benefits include private off-street parking in a walled parking area, a garden shed and planning consent already granted for a detached garage, extended fence line and driveway gates to increase privacy and storage. The cottage sits on a small plot close to village amenities: store/post office, pub, primary school (Outstanding Ofsted), health centre and easy access to Taunton and the M5.
Buyers should be aware of a few material considerations. Broadband speeds are slow and there is no mobile signal at the property, which will affect remote working or streaming without alternative connectivity solutions. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), so while windows have been upgraded the house may benefit from further insulation work to improve efficiency. Council tax is above average for the area.
Overall this is a comfortable, characterful family cottage that has been sensitively updated and offers immediate move-in condition with scope to add value via the permitted garage, energy upgrades and improved external privacy.
