This traditional stone-fronted cottage sits just a short walk from Watchet’s historic harbour and marina, offering classic coastal character with practical modern comforts. The layout includes a bright kitchen/diner, a garden room, and a vaulted second-floor bedroom with exposed beams and channel views — ideal for someone seeking a compact, characterful home near the sea. The property is freehold, has gas central heating and two ensuite bathrooms for convenience.
Outside, the enclosed paved courtyard garden is low-maintenance and private, with raised beds, a covered seating area and a timber shed/workshop with power — a good fit for downsizers who prefer easy upkeep. The house is of an average overall size (about 1,045 sq ft) and sits on a small plot within a quiet part of town; Council Tax Band B is relatively inexpensive.
Buyers should note the cottage’s age and traditional construction: the stone walls are assumed to lack modern insulation and double glazing install dates are unknown. Services and appliances have not been tested and a purchaser should commission a survey or specialist checks (electrics, boiler, damp/structural) before purchase. Broadband speeds are average and the local area shows some deprivation metrics, although the town itself offers good local amenities and low crime rates.
This is a straightforward, charming period home for someone seeking a manageable coastal property with character and easy access to Watchet’s harbour, shops and countryside. It will particularly suit buyers who value location and period detail and are comfortable managing or budgeting for modest upgrading and energy-improvement works.
