Three bedrooms plus loft room with restricted head height
A tastefully updated three-bedroom cottage dating from the 1800s, set in a popular South Petherton location and offered chain free. The ground floor opens to a generous kitchen/family room with flagstone floors and exposed beams, flowing into a uPVC conservatory that leads onto a large rear garden backing onto farmland — ideal for families seeking indoor/outdoor living and countryside outlooks.
The sitting room is cosy, with wooden floors and a wood-burning stove; the property benefits from a recent oil boiler (installed April 2023, serviced April 2025) and double glazing. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a modern bathroom, with a substantial loft room currently used as a bedroom — note the restricted head height and eaves storage which limit full-height use.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are slow in this area, the house uses an oil-fired central heating system supplemented by wood fuel, and the sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated. There is a shared septic tank (last emptied July 2025) with neighbours contributing to maintenance, and a right of way exists for access via the neighbouring garden. These are manageable but material considerations for buyers.
Overall this is a characterful, renovated cottage on a large plot that will particularly suit families or buyers wanting a rural-feel home with good outdoor space and immediate move-in condition, while accepting some rural-service limitations and modest retrofit opportunities.
