Beacon Cottage is a two-bedroom period home set on a large, beautifully landscaped plot in the sought-after village of Compton Dundon. The house retains strong character: Blue Lias stone walls, a thatched roof, exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with a fitted log burner. A newly constructed sunroom adds bright, usable space and frames rambling countryside views.
The layout is traditional and compact, with a country-style kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Practical outbuildings include a garage, workshop and large garden shed, plus a gravel driveway providing off-street parking. The property is freehold, not listed, and offered chain free — useful for a quicker move.
Prepare for ongoing rural maintenance: the thatched roof, secondary glazing and assumed uninsulated stone walls mean potential improvement costs to improve energy efficiency. Heating is oil-fired (boiler, radiators and an oil AGA) and mobile signal is reported as none — factors to consider for longer-term running costs and connectivity.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful village home with large gardens and strong countryside appeal — ideal for downsizers wanting peaceful surroundings or buyers willing to invest in sympathetic upgrades to improve comfort and efficiency.
