Nestled at the periphery of Galhampton, this classic Somerset cottage presents a rare opportunity for renovation and development. On the market for the first time in nearly sixty years, this beloved residence offers substantial potential for modernization, allowing you to craft a remarkable family home that reflects contemporary living while respecting its traditional charm.
As you step through the sturdy Oak front door, you are greeted by a sunlit reception room featuring a bay window that frames stunning views of the garden. The character-filled space boasts a working fireplace and connects seamlessly to a study that overlooks picturesque farmland. The layout encourages functionality and flow between the reception area, dining room, and kitchen.
A notable feature is the service wing which includes a shower room, walk-in larder, and utility area—perfectly positioned with access to the rear garden. Upstairs, three bedrooms enjoy spectacular rural vistas with flexible interlinked configurations due to two staircases servicing them. Current arrangements allow for various reconfigurations or even an extension above the utility room (subject to planning), opening doors to creative layouts tailored to modern needs.
The exterior is equally appealing, featuring lovingly maintained gardens with mature flora and an adjoining paddock covering approximately 1.49 acres—ideal for those seeking space for outdoor activities or gardening ventures. The property also includes ample off-street parking options.
Located conveniently close to Castle Cary and Bruton, this tranquil community offers access to essential amenities while retaining its characteristic village charm. With easy transport links—direct train services to London Paddington and proximity to major roadways—this cottage represents not only a home but also an investment with significant potential in a desirable location.
