Tucked away in a pretty row of houses above a famous town is this little gem ripe for rejuvenation by the right buyer.

The Grade II-listed property, thought formerly to be a gardener’s cottage, is in Glastonbury in Somerset, a short walk from the Tor in probably the historic town’s most desirable location.

It is for sale for £172,000 and is marketed by Holland & Odam, Glastonbury at OnTheMarket.

The ground floor entrance door opens into a living room, including a recessed window to the front, flagstone floor, exposed stonework and solid fuel Rayburn.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing and a door opens into the kitchen. Here there is a window to the rear, flagstone floor and single drainer sink with mixer tap.

A door opens into a rear lobby, from where the patio area outside and the bathroom can be accessed.

This comprises a half-size bath with shower attachment and wash hand basin. There is a separate toilet which has a low-level WC, shower and its own wash hand basin.

On the first floor, there is a small landing area with two bedrooms leading off.

Bedroom one has a window with westerly views from the window seat to the front, an oval wash hand basin with cupboard underneath, an airing cupboard with hot water cylinder, stained timber floorboards and a Dimplex electric heater.

Bedroom two has a window to the rear with a view of Chalice Hill.

The property is approached via shared pathway access to the front door. To the rear there is a south-facing back yard including a flower bed, with pedestrian access to a footpath.

It’s clear that with some work, the cottage could be a lovely home for someone or represents a great investment opportunity.

Glastonbury has a good range of shops, restaurants, pubs, supermarkets and health centres. As well as the nearby music festival it is well known for the Tor and Abbey Ruins and is some six miles from the Cathedral City of Wells.

The thriving town of Street is two miles away and offers more comprehensive facilities including both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Strode Theatre and the complex of factory shopping outlets in Clarks Village.

The nearest M5 motorway interchange at Dunball, Bridgwater (Junction 23) is 14 miles away while Bristol, Bath, Taunton and Yeovil are all within commuting distance.
