Read the full agent description
An attractive end-terraced cottage dating back to the mid-1700s, offering a wonderful blend of period character, practical living space and a few features that make it particularly memorable. Situated in Norton Fitzwarren, the property also benefits from driveway parking, a private south-facing rear garden and is offered to the market with no onward chain.
Inside, the ground floor has a welcoming and traditional feel. The lounge is centred around a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point, while the adjoining dining room provides a generous space for family meals and entertaining. The kitchen sits beyond, with access out towards the rear garden.
Upstairs is where much of the cottage's character really comes through. The main bedroom is a standout room, with its vaulted ceiling adding a wonderful sense of height and space, complemented by a feature fireplace that provides a reminder of the home's history.
There is also a second bedroom, along with a separate dressing room which adds useful flexibility to the layout and could equally lend itself to a home office or additional storage. The family bathroom completes the first floor.
Outside, the private rear garden enjoys a sought-after southerly aspect, making it a lovely spot to spend time throughout the warmer months. Within the garden is an original well, another interesting feature that adds to the history and individuality of the property. A driveway to the front provides convenient off-road parking.
With origins dating back to the mid-1700s, this is a home that offers genuine period character without compromising on everyday practicality, and with no onward chain it is ready for its next chapter.
