Set in the peaceful hamlet of Christon, this detached four-bedroom period cottage combines original character with practical updates. Exposed beams, original wood floors and two inglenook fireplaces give the house strong visual charm, while a newly fitted galley kitchen and a ground-floor master suite add modern convenience. The mature cottage garden, vegetable plot and evening‑sun summer house extend living outdoors across a large plot.
The layout suits family life or those needing a home office: separate lounge, dining room, study and three first-floor bedrooms provide flexibility. Off-street driveway parking and reliable modern communications (excellent mobile, fast broadband) make day-to-day living straightforward despite the rural setting. The property measures about 1,756 sq ft and sits on a substantial plot, offering scope for landscaping or modest extension subject to consent.
Buyers should note this is a pre‑1900 stone-built house with assumed uninsulated solid walls and oil-fired central heating. Expect ongoing maintenance typical of older buildings and potential upgrade costs for wall insulation, heating fuel change, or window replacement if desired. Council tax is high (approx. £3,315, Band F) and lower ceilings in some reception rooms reflect the cottage proportions.
This house will suit buyers who value character, garden space and a quiet rural location near Axbridge and the Mendips. It offers an appealing balance of period features and usable modern elements, while realistically requiring some investment for energy improvements or further personalization.
