Set on a generous 0.24-acre plot in peaceful Shapwick, this three-bedroom detached cottage enjoys sweeping Mendip Hills views and immediate availability with no onward chain. The house is liveable now but offers clear scope to modernise and tailor finishes to your taste — ideal for buyers seeking a countryside project with strong future potential.
Practical features include multiple off-street parking spaces, a large utility room with downstairs WC, and a self-contained outbuilding that could serve as a guest annexe, home office or rental unit (subject to consents). The layout is sensible with average-sized living rooms and bedrooms, giving a comfortable family footprint of about 1,158 sq ft.
Location strengths are rural tranquillity, low local crime and easy access to Street within 15 minutes by car. Nearby schools include good-rated Ashcott and Catcott primaries, with Millfield independent school also within reach. Broad appeal comes from the combination of countryside outlooks, parking and a sizable garden with an attractive water feature.
Notable drawbacks are straightforward and important: the property needs renovation and updating throughout, broadband speeds are slow and council tax is above average. Prospective buyers should allow for modernisation costs and check services and any required permissions for the outbuilding before committing.
