Main Road, Bridgwater, TA7 0NJ
If you're searching for a property steeped in history, brimming with charm, and full of character, this remarkable cottage offers a truly unique opportunity. Believed to date back as far as the 15th Century, with later additions made in the 19th Century, this home is a living piece of English heritage.
Despite being a two-bedroom cottage, the property spans an impressive circa 165 square metres, making it larger than many modern four-bedroom homes. There is excellent potential for reconfiguration or extension, subject to the appropriate planning and building regulations.
Constructed in traditional cob with a Cruck-framed roof, the structure showcases a rich architectural heritage. The thatched roof, recently re-done, provides a timeless silhouette and is expected to remain in excellent condition for many years. Internally, the property has seen thoughtful updates over time, including upgraded electrics, and a current electrical certificate. Originally a three-bedroom layout, the current owners have reimagined the space into two spacious double bedrooms and a generous landing.
As you step through the broad ribbed plank door beneath the thatched bonnet, you're immediately transported back in time. The entrance hall features plank-and-muntin walls, original exposed beams, and traditional wooden doors, all offering a warm welcome.
The sitting room is a standout feature with its substantial inglenook fireplace complete with an original bread oven, charming window seating, and a tucked-away study nook
Beyond, a large kitchen breakfast room offers modern convenience, with plenty of storage and space for family gatherings. A ground floor cloakroom sits conveniently near the rear porch and garden access.
The rear porch stretches along the back of the house, offering shelter and shade throughout the seasons. It connects to a handy outbuilding currently used as a utility room, and provides rear access to the spacious garage.
The mature garden is a vibrant haven for nature lovers and children alike, filled with colourful flowers, established shrubs, and hidden corners waiting to be explored. Two substantial barns, each approximately 7 by 4 metres and containing a stable, add further practical storage or workspace options.
To the front, you'll find side access to the rear garden, while on the opposite side sits a large double garage.
As it is an old building, the owner has commissioned a Level 3 survey, which interested parties will be able to have access to.
Please see the floor plan for dimensions. (As the wall of the property are irregular, we advise that you take your own measurements, if required)
