Summary - EAST COTTAGE LONG STREET CROSCOMBE WELLS BA5 3QH
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful two-bedroom home with private walled garden and parking for two.
Grade II listed 17th‑century cottage retaining beams and inglenook fireplace
Set in the centre of Croscombe, this Grade II listed 17th-century cottage blends genuine period character with modern comforts. Exposed beams, mullioned windows, a stone inglenook fireplace and an original stone spiral staircase create authentic charm, while a tasteful recent redecoration and a fitted country kitchen provide everyday practicality. The open-plan triple-aspect sitting/dining room and south-facing principal bedroom make the home light and welcoming.
Outside, the large, enclosed rear garden offers lawn, decked and paved terraces, a vegetable patch and a pergola — a private, sheltered space for outdoor dining and gardening. Off-road parking for two cars is provided on the gravel driveway. The location places village amenities, an award-winning pub and primary school within easy reach, with Wells, Shepton Mallet and good rail and airport links nearby.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance; it has a medium flood risk and has flooded in the past (preventative works have been carried out). There is a shared driveway with neighbouring properties and no EPC is available due to the listed status. Heating is via mains gas on a community scheme and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, which should be considered for running costs and any improvement plans.
This cottage will suit a buyer seeking character and village life with manageable space — ideal for downsizers or those wanting a period home with scope to personalise within listed constraints. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the interior features, garden and the surrounding village setting.
