Stone-built three-bedroom cottage with log burner and courtyard garden.
Three double bedrooms, flexible first-floor layout
This attractive stone-built cottage occupies a convenient position at the top of Golden Hill in Wiveliscombe, offering traditional character with practical modern comforts. The large dual-aspect living room with log burner and the sociable kitchen/dining room provide a warm, flexible ground floor layout for family life or home working. Three double bedrooms on the first floor and a separate shower plus bath deliver comfortable accommodation for a growing family or regular visitors.
Outside is a small south-facing courtyard garden that is low-maintenance and private — ideal for morning sun and alfresco dining — with pedestrian rear access. A nearby garage on the brewery site provides vehicle storage, but note it is not attached to the house and parking is not on-plot. The property benefits from mains gas central heating and some double glazing, making it ready to occupy with minimal immediate works.
Built before 1900 of granite/whinstone, the cottage has attractive historic detail but likely has uninsulated solid walls and double glazing of unknown age. Buyers wanting maximum energy efficiency should factor potential wall insulation or other upgrades into their plans. The single bathroom serves three double bedrooms, which suits many households but could be restrictive for larger families.
Wiveliscombe offers a broad range of local services, good primary schooling and easy access to Taunton (11 miles) and the M5. The location is an appealing mix of village life and access to Exmoor and Quantock countryside, making this cottage a strong choice for families seeking character, countryside access and a manageable home to personalise.
