This tastefully refurbished two-bedroom terraced cottage blends traditional character with contemporary comfort. The open-plan modern kitchen and retained period details create a cosy, low-maintenance home ideal for downsizers or couples seeking village life near Taunton. The property totals about 794 sq ft and benefits from double glazing and an efficient mains-gas boiler, so running costs are likely lower than many older cottages.
The small, very private garden is a standout feature — secure and easy to look after, it suits container planting or a quiet seating area. The location on Shutewater Hill puts everyday essentials close by: a post office and butcher at the top of the hill and a bus stop within easy reach. Taunton town centre, Musgrove Park Hospital and the M5 are all accessible for wider services and commuting.
Practical points to note: the house is mid-terrace and constructed before 1900 with granite/whinstone walls; insulation in the walls is assumed to be absent. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which may matter if you work from home. The plot is small and internal space is average-sized, so this is a compact, easy-care home rather than a large family property.
Overall, the cottage offers a comfortable, recently renovated base in a sought-after village setting with good local amenities and transport links. It will suit buyers prioritising village convenience, character, and low-maintenance living, while those needing large rooms, high-speed broadband, or extensive outdoor space should be aware of the limitations.
