3 bedroom house for sale

A delightfully quirky Linked Detached Period Cottage in need of some refurbishment offering versatile 3/4 Bedroom accommodation, large garden and ample parking, peacefully located in a small rural hamlet on the southern edge of the Blackdown Hills AONB.

This fascinating period cottage is substantially built with massive stone walls set beneath a newly re-thatched roof with lovely eye brow windows and despite its "chocolate box" appearance is not Listed. Over time it has been extended on more than one occasion creating a charming and slightly quirky home that would now benefit from some general updating throughout. The ground floor layout currently offers a cross passage hallway, two reception rooms, generous and well fitted kitchen with adjoining study/walk-in pantry, garden room, potential annexe of snug/bedroom with associated wet room, bathroom and laundry room. At first floor level, there are two excellent double bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities and a third walk through bedroom. Heating is currently gas fired (LPG) and there is double glazing to some of the windows.

The cottage enjoys a secluded position in this much favoured rural hamlet about 1 mile from the thriving village of Combe St Nicholas and surrounded by glorious unspoilt countryside on the edge of the Blackdown Hills. Local amenities in Combe and the adjoining hamlet of Wadeford include a post office/general store, primary school, pub, active community hall and a host of village activities. The small market towns of Chard and Ilminster are easily accessible offering an excellent range of day to day facilities and the Jurassic Coast is just 30 minutes drive to the south at Lyme Regis.

From the country lane double gates give access to the parking area and lovely, private west facing garden beyond. This is well screened by mature trees and hedges affording a high degree of privacy and is mainly laid to lawn with well stocked herbaceous borders. At the rear of the cottage there is a delightful "sun trap" courtyard with useful garden store and access to the lane.
