High Street, Stoke-Sub-Hamdon, Somerset

THE AGENT SAYS...
This perfectly formed little cottage has been a much loved home that now seeks new owners to love it and bring it back to life. With well-proportioned rooms, some characterful features, and a lovely sunny garden this property has so much potential for anyone not afraid of a project and keen to add their own stamp.

THE PROPERTY
The front door opens into a small lobby which protects the interior from the elements. The cosy sitting room is centred around an attractive fireplace, set in a wall of exposed stone, with a wood burning stove. A space-saving sliding door leads through to the kitchen/dining room at the rear. The kitchen requires modernisation but is a nice size room with great potential. The former fireplace and chimney breast is an attractive feature and the kitchen overlooks the sunny garden. Off the kitchen is a hard-working utility room which has space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher, along with the airing cupboard and further storage, as well as access to the garden. Behind the utility is the bathroom.

An enclosed staircase (with storage cupboard underneath) leads up from the kitchen to the first floor where there are two good-sized double bedrooms. A ladder leads up from the landing to the attic room, which is well-lit space perfect for a home ofce/hobby room or storage. There is scope to add an ensuite WC/basin over the stairs to the main bedroom subject to necessary consents.

OUTSIDE
The cottage is elevated above the street with a few steps up to the front door and a small area of garden. At the rear, the utility room opens to an area of hardstanding. Behind the utility is a right of way (ROW) for the property and number 28 to the end of terrace. Beyond the ROW is a divided paved area where number 30 has a timber storage shed and a gravel area for a bistro set or relaxer chair. Steps lead up under a metal arch and turn in different directions to provide access to the separate garden. The private lawned garden slopes up away from the house. There is a greenhouse with two water butts and beyond this a timber summerhouse.
