A Very Quirky Grade II listed thatched cottage in the heart of East Coker, offering period character and a private enclosed garden. The two-bedroom, semi-detached home retains original features such as an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, and a traditional bread oven — ideal for buyers who value authenticity and atmosphere.
The property requires comprehensive updating throughout, presenting a clear opportunity to restore and add value. Practical considerations include thatched roof maintenance, likely uninsulated stone walls, and the restrictions that come with listed status — any alterations will need consents and specialist contractors. Heating is dual fuel (mineral and wood) with a boiler and radiators; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this medium-sized cottage (approximately 669 sq ft) sits on a decent plot with a generous rear garden for relaxing or entertaining. Broadband speeds are fast and local crime is low, while mobile signal is average. The location suits buyers seeking village life, good nearby schools, and countryside character.
This home best suits purchasers prepared for a sympathetic renovation — whether a buyer looking to create a comfortable primary residence, a couple or small family looking to downsize into character, or an investor wishing to enhance long-term value. Be aware that listed status will influence cost, timing, and scope of works.
