Spacious renovated period home with self-contained Temperance Hall, large garden and garage.
Extensively renovated historic stone house circa 1700
A beautifully renovated 18th-century cottage set on the edge of South Cheriton, The Old Bakery combines original period character with substantial living space. Stone walls, flagstone floors, exposed beams and two fireplaces create a warm, characterful sitting room, while a bespoke kitchen, utility and generous bedrooms provide comfortable family accommodation. The attached Temperance Hall has been converted into a self-contained, well-insulated open-plan unit with vaulted ceiling, mezzanine bed and underfloor heating — ideal for visitors, extended family or rental income.
The house sits in a large, established garden with productive vegetable beds, fruit trees, a south-facing terrace and a garage block with carport. Fast fibre broadband, very low local crime and good road and rail links from nearby Templecombe make the location practical as well as peaceful. Local schools rated Good are within easy reach, and the property lies within a conservation area on the edge of attractive farming countryside.
Practical considerations: the property has a mix of heating systems — oil boiler, woodburner and underfloor heating in the converted Hall; other rooms are noted as using portable electric heaters (so confirm heating coverage and running costs). The Old Bakery currently records an EPC of F (Temperance Hall C), and the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so further works to improve energy efficiency may be required. Council Tax sits above average (Band E).
