Grade II listed 1750s house, full of period character
A beautifully restored Grade II listed terraced house in the heart of Martock, dating from the 1750s and carefully renovated to retain period character. The house balances traditional features — exposed beams, leaded-light windows, wide fireplaces and a working AGA — with modern comforts such as mains gas central heating, double glazing and ultrafast broadband.
Accommodation is flexible and family-friendly: a dual-aspect sitting room with woodburner, separate dining room, study/third reception, kitchen/breakfast room and a useful ground-floor laundry/utility. Four principal bedrooms are complemented by a fifth room suitable as a dressing room, nursery or home office. The loft is boarded and offers clear potential for further development subject to listed-building consents and building regulations.
Outside, a private brick-paviour courtyard and small planted gardens provide a secluded outdoor space, while a large double garage offers secure parking and storage. The house sits in a quiet part of Martock, close to everyday amenities, good local schools and country walks — ideal for families seeking village life with good connectivity to Yeovil, Taunton and the A303.
Important practical notes: the Grade II listing means any alterations will require consent and may limit options. There is one principal bathroom and a separate WC serving multiple bedrooms, and the original stone walls are likely uninsulated (assumed), which may influence future energy improvements. Overall, this is a characterful, newly renovated family home with sensible modernization already in place and scope for tailored enhancement.
