Set on a superb level plot of just under a third of an acre, this Grade II listed thatched Long Cottage blends broad period character with flexible family living. The double‑fronted house extends to about 2,818 sq ft across generous reception rooms, five bedrooms and an attached studio/workshop that could serve as ancillary accommodation or a home office (subject to permissions). Mature, landscaped gardens, a gated driveway for six-plus cars and a double garage complete a rare village package close to Ham Hill Country Park.
Characterful features are in abundance: exposed beams, Hamstone mullion windows, window seats, inglenook fireplace with a cast‑iron log burner and oak floors. The plan delivers good natural light from dual and triple aspects and a large open‑plan kitchen/breakfast room at the heart of the house. Heating is by mains gas radiators with some electric underfloor heating; there is some double glazing but the property retains many traditional elements consistent with its listed status.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The Grade II listing will impose restrictions on alterations and may complicate major refurbishment or extensions. Some internal features reflect traditional proportions — rooms and ceilings can be lower than modern standards — and parts of the house retain older fittings typical of a period cottage. Council tax is described as expensive. Buyers should factor in ongoing maintenance for a thatched roof and historic fabric.
This is a strong proposition for families seeking a distinctive Somerset home with ample outdoor space and excellent village amenities a short walk away. It will also suit buyers who value character and privacy, or those wanting immediate work‑from‑home space. Serious purchasers should be prepared for listed‑building considerations and the upkeep associated with a thatched, period property.
