Summary - FORE STREET CHAMBERS FORE STREET CHARD TA20 1PT
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two double bedrooms, parking and renovation potential close to shops and schools.
Grade II listed — works will be restricted and may require consent
A compact Grade II listed town-centre cottage offering two double bedrooms and vacant possession — an accessible, low‑cost entry into Chard. The property includes a useful off‑street parking space and mains gas central heating, with an interior layout that reads well for a small family or first-time buyer. At about 819 sq ft the rooms are small-to-average but practical, and the building’s period character is evident in its proportions and sash-style windows.
The house is sold as a fixer-upper: the rendered facade shows peeling paint and will require redecoration and repair, and the solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. Internal finishes are serviceable but dated and would benefit from redecoration and replacement floor coverings to maximise appeal. Because the property is Grade II listed, external and many internal alterations will be subject to listed‑building controls and could increase cost and lead times for renovation.
Location is a genuine strength — Fore Street position puts shops, schools and amenities within easy walking distance, and mobile signal is excellent. That convenience comes with trade-offs: the wider area is classified as deprived with higher local crime statistics, and outdoor space is limited to a modest rear area and a forecourt used for parking rather than a landscaped garden.
This cottage suits a buyer prepared to accept listed‑status constraints and to carry out cosmetic and targeted repair works rather than wholesale structural change. For a first-time buyer or investor seeking town-centre rental income, the property offers clear upside from redecoration, modest upgrades and sensitive period-led improvements, but budget carefully for listed approvals and ongoing maintenance.
