Orchard Cottage is a characterful, extended stone cottage set in about 2.16 acres, including a well-stocked apple orchard and elevated rural views. The house offers flexible living with a bespoke kitchen-dining-family room beneath a vaulted ceiling, a cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove and the convenience of a ground-floor bedroom with adjoining shower room.
Practical extras include a separate utility housing the oil boiler and water softener, freestanding solar PV panels in the orchard, a substantial block-built garage with power and light, and a generous private driveway with ample parking and turning space. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and quiet village/rural living while remaining a short drive from Ilminster and road links.
Notable practical points: water and drainage are from shared private systems and costs are split between three cottages; broadband in the area is currently very slow (recent fibre installed to the garden but not connected); heating is oil-fired and the council tax band is F. There is an existing neighbour right of way over the initial section of the vehicular approach. The cottage is stone-built pre-1900; walls are likely uninsulated and some owners may want to review insulation and energy improvements despite a 2019 EPC and presence of roof insulation noted after that survey.
This home will suit buyers seeking country living on a large plot — families, multigenerational households or those wanting orchard/cottage lifestyle. It also offers potential to improve energy efficiency and further tailor accommodation, subject to permissions, making it appealing to buyers who value space and rural character.
