Charming two-bedroom cottage with large south-facing garden and no onward chain.
Grade II listed cottage full of original character and exposed beams
This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage sits in the heart of Morchard Bishop, set back behind a generous south-facing garden. The property retains authentic character throughout, including an inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove and exposed beams that create a cosy, traditional feel. It is offered with no onward chain.
Accommodation is compact and well laid out for village living: an entrance porch leads into a lounge with space for dining, and a kitchen that accommodates essential appliances. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a tiled bathroom with corner shower, and a small additional room with limited head height suitable as a nursery, office or storage. Ceilings are generally low in places, consistent with the cottage style.
Outside there is a decent frontage garden with lawn, flower borders and a shed — a sunny south-facing expanse rare for cottages in the row. There is currently on-street parking directly outside; there is scope to create private parking subject to planning (a previous permission lapsed). Buyers should note listed status and conservation area restrictions will affect alterations and require specialist consent.
This home will suit buyers after characterful village life — first-time buyers or couples wanting a compact, charming cottage near good local amenities and countryside walking routes. Some maintenance and sympathetic updating will maximise the property’s potential, and purchasers should factor in listed-building considerations when planning changes.
