Summary - Fontmell Magna, SP7 SP7 0PA
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Village-centre four-bed with garden, parking and energy upgrade potential.
Large kitchen/dining room with double-fronted open fire
A substantial four-bedroom cottage in the heart of Fontmell Magna, designed for village-centred family life. The house combines characterful features — vaulted arched windows, stone flooring and multiple open fires — with practical modern upgrades including upgraded electrics and electric underfloor heating in the main reception and kitchen. The layout includes a generous kitchen/dining room, lounge with garden access, three double bedrooms on the first floor and a separate spiral-stair guest suite with ensuite.
Outdoor space is private and tranquil, with a patio, sloping lawn and direct access down to Fontmell Brook. Parking is straightforward on a block-paved driveway and gravel forecourt. Energy-upgrade potential is strong: loops are already in place for a ground-source heat pump and newer Dimplex Quantum heaters are fitted, but the main heating remains oil-fired with a separate older radiator circuit still present.
Practical considerations are set out plainly: the plot is small for the property size, flood risk is rated medium, and the wider neighbourhood has higher-than-average crime and some local deprivation. Council tax is above average. The property appears period in style externally, though records note construction in the 1967–1975 era; prospective buyers should confirm age-related details and check flood and insurance implications.
This is a good opportunity for a family seeking character, village convenience and onward energy improvements. It will particularly suit buyers who value outdoor access to brookside grounds and proximity to the village school and amenities, and who are prepared to manage oil heating and medium flood-risk factors.
