High Street, Othery, Bridgwater, Somerset, TA7

A link-detached, period cottage in need of light renovation, enjoying generous, attractive gardens, garage, off-road parking and flexible accommodation. No onward chain.

Ruscombe Cottage offers a great opportunity for a new owner to come in and make their own. With four principal rooms downstairs and three upstairs, the cottage - which dates back to the mid-1800’s in its original - offers great internal flexibility whilst enjoying a large, south-facing garden, and off-road parking for at least three vehicles infront of a large garage.

The property is accessed from the side, leading into the kitchen, which is a large room fitted with a range of wall and base units with worktops and tiled splashbacks over, integrated appliances including eye-level oven/microwave/grill combo, under-counter fridge and 4-ring induction hob, stainless steel sink with drainers and large centre island with breakfast bar. The kitchen opens out to a dining area; carpeted and featuring a fireplace with tiled hearth and woodburner (untested) inset. Adjacent to this are two small cupboards, and a doorway through to a further downstairs room, ideal as a bedroom given the adjacent shower room, fitted with shower cubicle, low-level WC and pedestal basin.

To the rear of the property is the 22’ sitting room, light and airy with four windows bringing in ample light, and featuring a fireplace with brick surround and woodburner (untested) inset. Beyond this is a garden room, with large window overlooking the garden to the south, again bringing in an abundance of light. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two doubles and one single. All are carpeted and again offer flexibility in their usage with Bedroom four being ideal for a bathroom conversion.

OUTSIDE

The plot extends to a generous 0.14 acres, with the rear garden enjoying a south-facing aspect. The fully-enclosed garden is laid in the majority to lawn, with a number of mature shrubs and small trees occupying the furthest end of the garden. A concrete path runs through a side gate to the front of the cottage, where there is a further area of lawn and low-laying shrubs, in addition to a birch tree. Fronting the road is a gated driveway, with sufficient parking for three vehicles in front of the garage, fitted with timber barn-style doors and housing the oil-fired boiler.
