Set in a peaceful lane near the Forest of Bere, this mid‑1800s semi‑detached cottage occupies a substantial 1.15‑acre plot including a very overgrown former paddock. The house retains traditional character — brickwork, fireplaces and Victorian proportions — and offers straightforward accommodation: two reception rooms, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and utility area across about 903 sq ft.
The property is offered chain free and presents clear scope for improvement and value creation. It requires full updating throughout and heating is currently by portable electric heaters; walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation and drainage is private. There is obvious potential to extend subject to planning, and an extra circa 0.8 acres to the rear may be available separately, making this a rare plot in a sought‑after rural location.
Practical strengths include mains electricity and water, double glazing installed post‑2002, low local crime, fast broadband and good nearby schools. Drawbacks to budget for include renovation costs (kitchen, bathroom, heating), possible insulation and structural/inspection surveys, and clearing/rehabilitating the overgrown paddock and gardens.
This property will most appeal to buyers seeking a countryside project: families wanting long‑term space, owners looking to create a bespoke country home, or investors/developers able to secure planning for extension and landscape improvement. Viewings are recommended for anyone prioritising plot, location and renovation potential.
