3 bedroom detached house for sale

A charming Detached Period Cottage with the benefit of a self-contained Annexe, secluded south facing garden, extensive parking and set on the edge of a popular residential village. EPC band: D

This delightful period cottage is traditionally constructed with stone and rendered elevations set beneath a main thatched roof but, over time, has been substantially extended to create versatile accommodation whilst retaining a wealth of character. The property now benefits from an entirely self contained annexe that the vendors have been successfully letting but is equally suitable for a dependent relative. The oldest part of the property offers a cosy sitting room with exposed timbers, flagstone flooring and woodburner and leads through to a double aspect snug with doors into a lovely south facing garden room with grapevine. There is a generous well fitted kitchen, also with garden access, adjoining utility and wet room. A staircase at either end takes you to two excellent double bedrooms at first floor level with an intercommunicating "jack and jill" bathroom. A ground floor office links with the annexe which has its own independent access offering the immediate opportunity to derive an income stream. Comprising a lovely sitting room with vaulted ceiling and open fireplace, kitchen, double bedroom and shower room, it has it's own private garden with a studio/overflow bedroom.

The cottage is set well back from the village road in the old part of Tatworth, a very popular residential village on the Somerset/Devon/Dorset borders. Local amenities include a general store/post office, primary school, pub, social club and Church. The traditional towns of Chard and Axminster both offer a good range of amenities including a choice of major supermarkets, smaller retailers, educational and leisure facilities and Axminster benefits from an intercity rail link (London Waterloo). The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 10 miles to the south at Lyme Regis.

To the front of the cottage is an extensive gravelled parking area and a neat front garden laid to lawn with lavender beds and ornamental shrubs. The annexe has its own private garden with shrubs and herbaceous borders and there is access at the other end of the property to a beautiful south facing main garden with lawns, colourful borders, ornamental shrubs and trees. A pretty wisteria covered pergola leads to an ornamental pond with a Japanese style bridge and running the length of the rear boundary is a small stream.
