Hillside Cottage is a handsome stone-built detached home set in a quiet hamlet near Corfe, Taunton. At about 1,711 sqft it delivers generous living space across two floors — including a sitting room, dining room, study, garden room/conservatory and a master bedroom with en suite — arranged in a traditional, characterful layout. Large mature gardens, outbuildings and off-street parking extend the usable plot and the rear garden adjoins open fields, giving a strong sense of rural privacy.
The property will suit families or buyers seeking a countryside base with scope to modernise. Key positives include substantial room sizes, flexible reception rooms (study and nursery/dressing available), useful utility space and an attractive conservatory that brings daylight into the ground floor. The outbuildings and generous plot provide space for storage, hobbies or a garden studio subject to any local restrictions.
Buyers should be aware of several practical considerations. The house is an older stone build (pre-1900) with assumed uninsulated granite walls and original double glazing fitted before 2002 — upgrades to insulation and windows would improve comfort and running costs. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler and radiators, and broadband speeds are very slow in this location. Council Tax Band E applies and mobile signal is average due to the rural setting.
In short, this is a character cottage with strong rural appeal and scope for sympathetic renovation. It offers a peaceful setting, large gardens and useful ancillary buildings, but requires investment to modernise thermal performance and digital connectivity for contemporary living.
