No onward chain — ready for quick completion
Thatched roof and stone walls — authentic character, specialist maintenance

Double garage plus gravel driveway and parking
Oil-fired heating; consider fuel supply and running costs
Slow broadband and average mobile signal — affects home working

Set in one of Seavington’s most sought-after villages, this four-bedroom thatch cottage combines traditional character with practical family space. The property offers a dual-aspect sitting room, separate dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility, and four bedrooms upstairs served by a family bathroom plus separate shower. A small paddock and double garage extend the plot and create useful outdoor and storage options.
The cottage’s period features — stone walls, exposed timbers and a thatched roof — deliver authentic charm but carry associated maintenance needs. The thatch and older stone walls (likely uninsulated) will require specialist upkeep and can mean higher insurance and running costs. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators; buyers should note oil supply and servicing are the responsibility of the owner.
Practical strengths include a gravelled driveway, double garage, very large plot with a paddock/orchard area, and a private courtyard garden for alfresco living. The home is chain-free and suits buyers seeking tranquil village life — retirees, families or buyers wanting a countryside base close to Ilminster and local primary schools. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average, so those who work from home should factor in connectivity limitations.
Overall this is an attractive, deceptively spacious period home with genuine countryside appeal and versatile accommodation. It will reward buyers who value character and who are prepared for routine historic-property maintenance and some modernisation of fittings such as the dated kitchen.
