Summary - GREY COTTAGE, ASKERSWELL DT2 9EL
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Large family living with extensive gardens, garage and riverside boundary.
Five bedrooms plus two home offices and attic workspace potential
Grey Cottage is a handsome early-19th-century stone home in the heart of Askerswell, offering generous family accommodation across multiple floors. The house blends original character—flint and stone walls, flagstone floors and multiple chimneys—with a high-spec family kitchen, several wood-burning stoves and flexible living spaces including two home offices and an attic with potential.
The gardens and grounds are a major asset: approaching a quarter-acre plot with well-stocked borders, an orchard, summer house, raised vegetable beds, greenhouse, and the River Asker forming the northern boundary. Outdoor space includes a large parking area and a double garage, plus a separate office/gym—ideal for home-working families or multigenerational living.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important to note. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; walls appear to be original sandstone/limestone and are likely uninsulated. Double glazing was installed before 2002. There is a medium flood risk from the nearby river. These factors may influence running costs and future upgrade plans.
Overall this is a substantial, character-filled family home in a peaceful village setting with excellent countryside access. It will suit buyers seeking a large, flexible rural residence who are prepared to manage or invest in energy-efficiency and flood-mitigation measures.
