Summary - 27 Burton Barton, East Coker, Yeovil, Somerset BA22 9LS
Grade II listed cottage with strong period character
This charming Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage sits in the popular Burton Barton area of East Coker, offering a picture-postcard welcome with stone walls, traditional features and attractive front and rear gardens. The house is chain free and occupies a large plot with private parking and a garage — an unusual combination for a period property in a village setting.
Internally the layout is practical: a porch leads to a sitting/dining room with a wood-burning stove and exposed beams, a second reception room currently used as an occasional bedroom, and a fitted kitchen. Upstairs is a generous double bedroom and a bathroom; overall the accommodation totals about 743 sq ft over multiple floors and suits someone seeking character rather than open-plan living.
There are important practical points to know: the property is Grade II listed which restricts alterations and can complicate maintenance and repairs. Heating is by electric room heaters and the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so owners should expect higher running costs and potential upgrading costs. Low-to-medium ceilings and small-to-medium room sizes are typical of its era and will suit buyers who value period character over modern proportions.
For downsizers or buyers seeking a countryside retreat with character and outdoor space, this cottage offers immediate occupation with scope to improve sensitively where permitted. The village has good primary and secondary schools nearby, low crime and a prospering rural community — all helpful if you want village life with convenient parking and a garage.
