Set in a highly sought-after rural hamlet on the edge of the Mendip Hills, this double-fronted cottage offers genuine period character and countryside views. The bright, airy rooms retain original features — exposed floorboards, beams, latch doors and multiple fireplaces — and include two reception rooms, a modern-fitted kitchen and three double bedrooms. A small, private rear garden, outbuilding, garage and off-street parking add useful outdoor and storage space.
This property will be sold at modern auction; an undisclosed reserve price applies and buyers must allow for auction fees. A non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600 incl. VAT) is payable in addition to the purchase price, plus a buyer pack fee (up to £349 incl. VAT). Completion is required within 56 days and buyers should complete their own due diligence before bidding.
Practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters and room heaters, with double glazing of unknown installation date. The cottage dates from the 1800s and walls appear to be original sandstone/limestone with no added insulation assumed — a consideration for energy efficiency and potential upgrade costs. Overall living space is modest (around 732 sq ft) on a small plot, making this better suited to a couple or family seeking character in a rural setting rather than those needing large gardens or extensive modern space.
For the right buyer this is an opportunity to move into an attractive rural home with scope to modernise sensibly and improve energy performance while keeping many original features. Fast broadband, low crime and proximity to Wells and local schools add to practical appeal.
