This enchanting, Grade II listed country cottage occupies a position on a quiet no-through road in Watergore, close to South Petherton and not far from Ilminster.
The beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage, named Thatchcroft, is a cosy and comfortable dwelling combining its modern enhancements with its original charm and character, such as its lovely inglenook fireplaces and exposed ceiling beams.
On the ground floor, the well-proportioned sitting room has been cleverly compartmentalised into two defined areas. The first is a relaxed setting for socialising or reading, while the second has a cosy look and is an ideal space to snuggle down thanks to its large inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner.
The formal dining room is an intimate setting for those who enjoy entertaining, and it has direct access to the kitchen. The bright and airy kitchen has a traditional look and it is fitted with off-white shaker-style units, white work surfaces and it has attractive exposed stonework displayed next to the windows, that take in views of the garden. Also on this floor is a snug, a highly versatile space that would equally well as a study, bedroom or playroom, and there is a handy shower room too.
On the first floor, there are three generous double bedrooms with lovely, exposed beams and a well-appointed family bathroom with a stand-alone bath.
Outside, the pretty cottage garden is a haven for wildlife and features a lawn, a patio and a wealth of mature shrubs, colourful flora and well-established trees. It’s a private setting for alfresco dining and sitting out in the warmer months and comes with two very useful garden sheds.
At the front, there is a walled garden and off-road parking space.
It should be noted that a new thatch roof was added to the cottage in 2017 giving any potential buyer peace of mind with regards to its longevity.
