House For Sale £390,000
A wonderful opportunity to purchase a large detached cottage with four double bedrooms, offering bright and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors and situated on the fringe of the lovely Somerset village of Henstridge. The cottage is within an easy walk to the facilities, which include a local shop with post office, two public houses, primary school and village hall and grounds that hosts a variety of events. We believe that the cottage dates to the 1800s with a side extension in the 1980s and has been a much loved family home to our seller for the last sixteen years. During this time it has been very well maintained and improved with new en-suite fittings, replacement kitchen units towards the end of last year as well as some recent redecoration. The cottage retains many character features, such as exposed stone walls, original fireplaces, wonderful old stone walls outside and benefits from good ceiling heights, uPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating. This lovely family home lends itself to housing multi generations, with adaptable room usage as well as providing plenty of space for an existing or growing family. A viewing is an absolute necessity to truly appreciate what this special home has to offer, not just for the inside space but also for delightful garden and its location. An early viewing is advisable to avoid missing out on the chance to own this charming home.
