This three-bedroom mid-20th-century terraced cottage sits on a very large plot in Bisgood Cottages, just outside Bridgwater. Offered freehold and chain-free, the property provides a clear canvas for someone looking to create value through refurbishment or conversion. The location is private and rural, with access to the River Parrett and good road links to the M5 (J24).
The house currently provides entrance hallway, kitchen, lounge/diner, conservatory and downstairs WC, with three bedrooms and a wet room upstairs. There is no mains gas and no central heating system in place; heating is via some electric heaters. Services include mains water and mains electricity, but sewerage is private shared drainage with a neighbouring property.
Significant modernisation is required throughout — cosmetic and structural updating, new heating, possibly rewiring and replacement windows/doors should be expected. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working. Flood risk is assessed as medium and there is a restricted-height tunnel (1.6m / 5'6") access route nearby; purchasers should review local flood maps and access suitability.
For an investor or purchaser comfortable with renovation, the combination of no onward chain, a large rear garden, and proximity to Bridgwater presents clear scope to add value. For a family seeking a ready-to-move-in home, substantial work and ongoing maintenance will be required before occupation.
