Clover Cottage is a characterful Grade II listed end-of-terrace cottage in the heart of Morchard Bishop, offering three bedrooms plus a self-contained one-bedroom annexe. The home keeps original features — cob walls, exposed beams and a thatched roof — creating an authentic country feel. A spacious lounge with an inglenook and wood-burning stove provides a cosy social hub, while the annexe offers flexible income or family space.
The property suits buyers who value period character and village life: nearby good primary and secondary schools, very low local crime and a range of village amenities (post office, pub, shop, café). The house is freehold, set in a small plot with garden space and pleasant rural views that suit low-maintenance outdoor use rather than large-scale landscaping.
Prospective purchasers should note material practicalities: the Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance; the thatched roof and cob construction require specialist upkeep. Heating relies principally on room heaters and wood logs rather than full central heating, which could mean higher ongoing effort and costs to modernise. Broadband and mobile signals are average for a rural village.
Overall, this traditionally built cottage offers strong character, a useful annexe and village convenience for those prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and the maintenance needs of older fabric. It will appeal to families or buyers seeking a countryside home with genuine period charm and future renovation potential.
