The property is a traditional mid-terrace cottage tucked away on the semi-rural edge of Highbridge, with open fields close by yet everyday conveniences within easy reach. Highbridge itself offers supermarkets, shops and services, a mainline station at Highbridge & Burnham with regular services to Bristol, Taunton and beyond, plus swift access to the M5 at Junction 22. Wider amenities, including further supermarkets, a choice of schools, a hospital, and the beach, can be found just a short drive away in Burnham-on-Sea.

Built of brick beneath a tiled and insulated roof, the property brims with character. Original features include flagstone floors, cottage-style ledged-and-braced doors, and a welcoming lounge centred on an open fire with exposed brick chimney breast. The accommodation centres on a hallway giving access to the bathroom, lounge and conservatory, while the kitchen/dining room is positioned at the entrance to the property, offering a practical layout throughout the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms, and to the rear a cottage-style garden provides a peaceful setting with a semi-rural outlook.

The Highbridge Medical Centre is close at hand, The King Alfred Academy is within easy reach, and the town centre is walkable for everyday shopping. For commuters, both rail and road links are excellent, while those seeking leisure time can enjoy Burnham-on-Sea’s sandy seafront, coastal walks, cafés and restaurants. Whether you’re stepping onto the property ladder, downsizing to something with charm, or searching for a characterful retreat near the coast, this cottage offers the best of both worlds—traditional period detail combined with practical convenience, all in a location that balances countryside peace with town amenities.
