This end-of-terrace 19th-century cottage combines period charm with a light, contemporary rear extension — ideal for family life in West Coker. The ground floor offers a cosy living room with exposed brick fireplace and a stunning open-plan kitchen/diner with skylight and patio doors onto a courtyard. Two private off-street parking spaces are reached via a shared lane, with a generous lawned garden beyond and a storage shed at the far end.
Upstairs features two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a dressing room that leads to a bright third-floor double bedroom with three Velux windows and exposed brick feature wall. The property is chain free and ready for new owners to move straight in, but it also offers potential for small improvements — existing front foundations could accommodate a home office or garden cabin (STPP).
Buyers should note practical considerations: the house currently lacks central heating and uses room heaters with dual fuel (mineral and wood). The original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated, so upgrading insulation and installing a modern heating system would improve comfort and efficiency. There is a medium flood risk for the area, and the property retains older construction elements that may need ongoing maintenance.
For families seeking a village lifestyle close to a good primary school, village amenities and green space, this cottage offers character, usable outdoor space and off-road parking, with clear scope to add modern comfort while keeping its period appeal.
