Set in the peaceful hamlet of Donyatt, this extended four-bedroom country cottage blends period stone character with a contemporary finish. The bright kitchen/dining room opens to a paved terrace and lawn, ideal for family meals and outdoor play, while the large living room with wood-burner creates a cosy social hub for colder months. With about 1,350 sq ft of accommodation, the layout suits family life and flexible working-from-home needs (one smaller bedroom is well-suited as a study).
Practical strengths include a detached garage, off-street parking for three cars, double glazing installed since 2002, and strong mobile and broadband connectivity. Countryside views from the first floor and mature garden planting give a private, rural feel while Ilminster and the A303/M5 are within easy driving distance.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property’s stone walls are assumed uninsulated, heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the house dates from before 1900 — meaning older construction and periodic maintenance should be expected. Flood risk is low and council tax is reported affordable, but prospective purchasers may wish to survey insulation and heating efficiency.
Overall, this cottage will suit families seeking a ready-to-live-in village home with character, garden space and parking, plus potential to improve thermal performance and add value through targeted energy upgrades.
