A compact two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage tucked away in the popular hamlet of Forton, ideal for first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home. Built of stone with rendered elevations and a tiled roof, the property already benefits from UPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating.
The layout is straightforward: entrance lobby with cloakroom, open kitchen/living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside there is gravelled off-street parking for two to three vehicles, a covered storage area to the side and a small enclosed courtyard garden — low-maintenance outdoor space for pots and a shed.
Although charming and well-located for village life and nearby Chard, the cottage needs renovation and upgrading throughout. Expect improvement works, possible insulation upgrades to the older stone walls, and attention in parts of the interior. Broadband is very slow here and some rooms (notably the basement/low-ceiling area) are small with lower headroom.
This property suits buyers looking for an affordable entry into the local market who are prepared to invest time and budget in improvements. It offers countryside living close to amenities and good transport links via Chard, with the Jurassic Coast within easy reach.
