This substantial Grade II listed period property offers immense flexibility, making it an ideal large family home or a potential income-generating residence, set within approximately 0.25 acres of level gardens. It features a detached double garage and ample parking, along with beautiful views towards the Quantock Hills. The property is offered with no onward chain.
Nestled in the charming village of Bicknoller, this unique residence combines character with spaciousness and versatility. Previously divided into two dwellings—Dashwoods Cottage, a three-bedroom home, and Little Dashwoods, a one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette—this listing now offers both properties together. This arrangement presents various possibilities for buyers: use it as a main residence with rental potential, create an annex for guests or relatives, or return it to a single-family home (subject to planning consent).
Dashwoods Cottage includes gas-fired central heating and partial double glazing. Its ground floor boasts an entrance porch, hall, utility room, shower room, and a generously-sized open-plan kitchen and dining area that serves as the hub of daily life and entertaining. The upper level consists of a spacious principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, two additional double bedrooms, and another sizable bedroom/sitting room.
The adjoining Little Dashwoods maisonette benefits from oil-fired central heating and comprises a kitchen, living room featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace, one bedroom (currently set up as a dining room), and a bathroom. Its self-contained layout is particularly suited for guest accommodations or potential rental income.
Access to the property is via a shared private driveway that also serves another dwelling. Inside the grounds, multiple off-road parking spaces are available alongside the detached garage. A delightful rear courtyard provides a secluded area for alfresco dining and access to useful stone outbuildings—one equipped with plumbing for convenience.
The extensive rear gardens are truly remarkable. They provide significant privacy thanks to mature hedges and trees surrounding the spacious lawn. Additional outdoor features include a raised decking area perfect for leisure activities or entertaining guests.
Bicknoller is situated at the base of the Quantock Hills within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This picturesque village is rich in community spirit and surrounded by stunning countryside. Local amenities include a village pub and shop, while nearby Williton (approximately 2.5 miles away) offers more extensive services such as schools and healthcare facilities. Taunton lies about 13 miles away with further shopping options and excellent transport links including mainline rail connections reaching London in under two hours.
This versatile property presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire two homes in one format along with generous gardens and parking—all set in an idyllic rural setting.
