Stone-built cottage with character features and exposed beams
A handsome period terraced cottage on the edge of the Quantock Hills, this two-bedroom home sits on a large plot with generous, enclosed gardens and off-road parking. The stone-built property retains character features such as exposed beams and original tiled flooring, and benefits from full uPVC double glazing and a recently renewed shared private treatment plant.
The interior offers surprisingly spacious accommodation for a two-bedroom cottage (approx. 1,135 sq ft) and includes a striking four-piece bathroom, a versatile first-floor landing area and a multi-use games room. For downsizers seeking countryside calm, the plot gives room for gardening, storage and outdoor living without being remote; Taunton is within easy reach and local crime levels are very low.
The house has been partially renovated but requires further modernisation throughout — buyers should expect works including cosmetic updating and likely improvement to insulation (stone walls assumed without insulation). Heating is via an oil boiler and radiators (private fuel) and drainage is to a private treatment plant shared by the cottages; these are practical but carry running and servicing costs.
In short, this cottage will suit a buyer who values character, space and a sizeable garden and is prepared to complete renovations to personalise the home and improve energy efficiency. The freehold tenure, generous plot and countryside location represent clear long-term value for the right purchaser.
