Description

This charming two-bedroom period cottage presents a unique opportunity for those with vision, situated in the historic market town of Somerton. While the property requires some updating, it is a blank canvas ready for renovation that can significantly enhance its value and appeal. Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming yellow door leading into an entrance hall. The spacious living room features a bay window that invites natural light, creating a warm atmosphere. Adjoining is the kitchen, which benefits from double doors opening to the private walled courtyard—a space that could be transformed into a delightful outdoor retreat. The kitchen also includes a stable door that offers convenient access to the courtyard. Upstairs, you will find two well-proportioned bedrooms along with a modern family bathroom. The large double bedroom at the front comes equipped with built-in wardrobes, while the single bedroom at the rear provides flexibility for use as a guest room or home office. Nestled in Somerton, known as the ancient capital of Wessex, this location boasts numerous amenities such as shops, cafes, and local pubs. The town supports a vibrant arts community and offers recreational options including parks with sports facilities suitable for families. Additionally, comprehensive services are easily accessible in nearby Taunton and Yeovil. Transportation links are robust; mainline railway stations are available in Castle Cary and Yeovil, while major roadways such as the A303 and M5 motorway provide excellent connectivity to larger cities and regions. With no onward chain and ample potential for refurbishment, this property is ideal for first-time buyers eager to create their dream home or investors looking to capitalize on a promising rental opportunity.
