Elevated cottage with private south garden and genuine period character.
Period character: hamstone elevations, exposed timbers, inglenook fireplace
A mellow hamstone cottage with genuine period charm, this detached home sits quietly on the outskirts of Crewkerne. Flagstone floors, exposed timbers and an inglenook fireplace give the living spaces character and warmth, complemented by a wood-burning stove and an Aga in the kitchen. The property feels cosy rather than grand, with mainly small to medium rooms across two main storeys and an attic room reached by ladder.
The house occupies a decent, elevated plot with a large south-facing garden that offers privacy, lawn, fruit trees and a sheltered courtyard for outdoor entertaining. Windows were upgraded to UPVC double glazing after 2002 and heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators; the EPC is band D. There are two tandem parking spaces adjacent to the property, but these are not included in the title deeds and should be checked before purchase.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the stone walls are likely uninsulated as built, and the property will benefit from targeted modernisation or insulation improvements to improve comfort and running costs. The layout — sitting room with separate dining area, kitchen with Aga, ground-floor shower/utility, and four bedrooms upstairs plus attic space — will suit a small family or buyers seeking a period home with scope to personalise.
Location is a strong point for local amenities and connectivity. The market town of Crewkerne provides supermarkets, shops, schools (including good Ofsted-rated options) and a mainline rail service. Countryside and the Jurassic Coast are within easy reach. Note the local area records above-average crime levels; prospective buyers should consider this in their viewings and enquiries.
