3 Bedroom Other

This delightful, centuries-old cottage has undergone significant and sympathetic refurbishments in recent years, resulting in well-appointed accommodation and an enticing opportunity for further extension with the appropriate approvals. This property sits on a 0.4 acre plot and is characterised by its period features such as exposed timbers and a substantial inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, the cottage exudes charm and warmth. A noteworthy feature is the attached outbuilding, currently comprising a utility room, storeroom, cloakroom, and a single garage. With the addition of a refurbed bathroom in the main house and a general refurbishment underway, this outbuilding presents great potential for conversion into an annexe, ideal for accommodating guests or serving as a home office.

Upon entry through the pillared covered entrance, you are welcomed into an inviting sitting/dining room adorned with windows offering views to the front and rear gardens, complemented by window seats. The focal point of this room is the grand inglenook fireplace, enhanced by exposed ceiling and wall timbers. Beyond lies a galley-style kitchen, recently refitted with modern units and appliances, with ample space for expansion subject to necessary permissions.

A verbal agreement with local planning authorities suggests a favourable stance towards linking the outbuilding with the cottage, potentially creating a seamless annexe, and considering a single-story side extension to enhance kitchen space. Upstairs, the property offers two bedrooms with a further 3rd bedroom available in the annexe, each with its own unique charm, along with a modern bathroom/shower room within the main house.

The annexe offers a fantastic opportunity to be transformed into a charming Airbnb. With its own separate entrance, it provides privacy for guests, making it ideal for short-term rentals. The space could be easily updated with cozy furnishings, a small kitchenette, and a comfortable sleeping area, allowing for an inviting, self-contained unit. Its location in the picturesque village of North Petherton, with easy access to local attractions, shops, and transport links, would make it highly appealing to visitors looking for a peaceful getaway or a convenient stop for business or leisure travelers exploring the region.

Outside, the property boasts beautifully maintained gardens, enjoying a southerly sunny aspect and bordered by attractive ornamental trees and shrubs. A walkway between the cottage and outbuilding leads to the rear, providing access to open farmland and countryside.
