Characterful one-bedroom cottage near Crewkerne town centre — low running costs, listing restrictions apply.
Grade II Listed character cottage — restrictions on alterations
This compact Grade II Listed mid-terrace cottage sits a short walk from Crewkerne town centre, offering character stone walls, a flagstone-floored sitting room and a small, low-maintenance rear garden. The double bedroom, bathroom and a practical kitchen create a straightforward, easy-to-run home well suited to a single occupant, couple or buyer looking to downsize without sacrificing period charm.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating with a boiler installed in January 2019, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds. The rear outhouse includes plumbing and electrics for a washing machine and there is an external shed — useful storage for a property of this size. Council Tax Band A and a modest asking price make running costs attractive.
Important constraints are factual and significant: the property is Grade II Listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and improvement work. The mid-terrace stone walls are likely uninsulated, and the overall footprint is small (approximately 394 sq ft) with a very small plot — limited scope for extension or major remodelling. The local area indicators show higher deprivation and ageing urban demographics, which may matter to some buyers.
This is best for buyers who prioritise character and central convenience over space — someone who values a manageable, period cottage near local shops and services and is comfortable living within listing constraints. It also suits investors seeking a low-maintenance rental in a small town, subject to listed-building considerations.
