Double-fronted 1800s character cottage with exposed beams and floorboards
Set in a peaceful hamlet on the edge of the Mendip Hills, this double-fronted 1800s cottage offers abundant character and far-reaching rural views. High ceilings, exposed beams, original floorboards and open fireplaces create a cosy, period feel; the home’s layout of two reception rooms plus a modern-fitted kitchen suits family life and social entertaining.
Practical outdoor space includes an enclosed sunny rear garden, outbuilding, log store, single garage and an off-street hardstanding. Three double bedrooms occupy the first floor, all facing open countryside, making this a comfortable family home in an affluent rural setting with fast broadband and low crime.
Important sale and condition notes: the property is offered via Modern Auction where a non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) and other buyer fees apply; there is an undisclosed reserve price. Heating is electric (storage heaters and room heaters) and walls are stone with assumed lack of insulation, so energy efficiency and running costs may be higher than modern standards. The cottage is of small overall size and has only one bathroom; parts of the interior (conservatory, some fittings) are dated and will benefit from updating.
This house will suit buyers looking for a charming rural family home with scope to improve and personalise, and those comfortable with the auction process. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the period character and countryside setting, but please factor in refurbishment work and auction-related costs when budgeting.
