Summary - South Lodge, Rowford, Cheddon Fitzpaine, TAUNTON TA2 8JY
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Characterful three-bedroom lodge with huge garden; chain free but needs full update and checks.
Detached Victorian lodge backing onto Hestercombe House gardens
A rare detached lodge backing directly onto the gardens of Hestercombe House, South Lodge combines strong Victorian character with a very large, well-stocked plot. Period features include mullion windows, original tiled floors, fireplaces and exposed wooden flooring that give the house immediate charm and atmosphere.
The house offers a comfortable traditional layout: sitting room, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, downstairs WC, three good bedrooms and a generous family bathroom. Off-street gated parking and oil central heating are practical assets for everyday living.
The property is sold chain free but requires updating throughout—cosmetic and system improvements are needed to bring it fully up to modern standards. It is reported as in need of renovation; buyers should factor repair and refurbishment costs into budgets. The building is described as historic/Grade II style sandstone construction, so any work may require listed-building consents or planning checks.
Note: the listing information flags a high flood risk. Prospective purchasers should confirm flood and insurance implications with the relevant authorities and insurers before committing. Council Tax is band E (above average) and the hamlet location offers rural tranquillity with good broadband and nearby school options, ideal for buyers seeking space and character.
