Charming listed cottage with large garden, garage and stable in West Somerset.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with strong period character
Blueberry Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched cottage combining warm period character with usable modern touches. The sitting room's exposed beams and inglenook fireplace create a cosy, atmospheric heart to the home, while the fitted kitchen and utility room provide everyday practicality and direct garden access.
The mature, private rear garden is a standout feature, with a sizeable lawn, established borders and a patio for outdoor dining. Useful outbuildings include a timber shed, garage, driveway parking and a stable — offering storage, workshop potential or hobby space (any change of use subject to necessary consents).
Practical details matter: the property has gas central heating and low council tax, no flood risk, and excellent mobile signal. Notable negatives are its listed status (works will need listed-building consent) and the thatched roof, which carries higher maintenance and insurance responsibilities. Broadband speeds are slow and the wider area shows some economic deprivation, reflecting limited local services compared with larger towns.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking rural character and a peaceful village lifestyle who accept ongoing upkeep and planning constraints. It offers genuine charm, generous outdoor space and scope for sympathetic updates rather than a turn-key modern home.
