Shiremoor Hill, Merriott

This historic three-bedroom detached cottage, dating back to the 16th century, presents a unique opportunity for investors and renovators. The property features a large, private courtyard flanked by multiple outbuildings, including an already converted home office that serves as an annexe. Further development potential exists for these outbuildings, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. The Grade II listed status of this hamstone property adds character and charm while providing opportunities for restoration and upgrading. Nestled in the vibrant village of Merriott, the cottage is conveniently located within two miles of Crewkerne, which boasts a variety of shops and amenities, including a Waitrose supermarket and sports facilities. The property itself retains historic features such as exposed beams and a traditional Inglenook fireplace, but will require some modernisation. The grounds extend to approximately 0.33 acres and provide ample space for landscaping or additional structure developments. With existing planning consent on certain outbuildings for conversion into usable spaces, this property is ripe for transformation into a more functional residential setting or even a business venture. Key amenities include mains services and gas fired central heating along with various options for superfast broadband availability. However, prospective buyers should be aware of potential flood risks from surface water as indicated by government assessments. Overall, with thoughtful renovations, this property could become not only a charming residence but also an investment opportunity with significant value add.
