Summary - MELCOTTS DOWLISH WAKE ILMINSTER TA19 0NZ
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Two-bedroom village home with garden, parking and excellent walking country nearby.
Two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, both with countryside views
Set in the quiet, picture-postcard village of Dowlish Wake, this two-bedroom detached property offers classic mid-19th century character with practical day-to-day living. Stone walls, slate roof and flagstone floors give the house genuine period charm, while a woodburning stove and two bathrooms provide comfortable, usable accommodation from day one.
The layout is straightforward: dining room and sitting room on the ground floor, a well-arranged kitchen and a useful boot room/utility with stable doors to the rear. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, both enjoying open countryside views to the rear. A paved, low-maintenance courtyard garden provides private outdoor space and there is off-street parking for two cars nearby.
Important practical points: the property has very slow broadband and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which will affect running costs and may require insulation work to improve comfort. Double glazing was fitted some years ago (pre-2002) and heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. The cottage has been run as a holiday let (business rates currently apply) and would revert to council tax if used solely as a home.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a first home or permanent base in cider country, especially for buyers who value village life, countryside access and period features. Minor updating and energy improvements would add value and make the cottage more economical to run.
