This characterful three-bedroom detached cottage combines period charm with recent renovation and a generous south-facing garden. The extended L-shaped sitting/dining/family room has a vaulted ceiling, roof lights and French doors that fill the house with light, while the original reception area retains a large fireplace and wood-burning stove for cosy winters. The ground-floor double bedroom and adjacent bathroom make the house flexible for multigenerational living or long-stay guests.
Practical features include a large boot/utility room, garage, double-width block-paved driveway and off-road parking. The kitchen/breakfast room houses an electric oven, gas hob and Rayburn; an oil-fired boiler supplies hot water and radiators. The property has been renovated over the past 12 years but retains solid stone/limestone walls, which are likely uninsulated and may benefit from insulation improvements.
The south-facing rear garden (approx. 60' by 45') is a standout: paved patio, productive fruit trees, greenhouse, summerhouse, large shed and polytunnel, with far-reaching countryside views beyond. The village setting in Buckland Dinham adjoins open fields yet sits only about three miles from Frome, with good local schools and low crime.
Considerations: heating is oil-fired (higher running and maintenance attention than mains gas), stone walls appear to lack insulation (possible improvement cost), and average mobile signal in a rural location. Overall this is a spacious, recently refreshed period cottage offering versatile accommodation and strong outdoor appeal for family life.
