3 bed cottage for sale

Towns End, Henstridge, Templecombe BA8

Situated on the edge of Henstridge within easy walking distance of the village shop and public houses, this substantial detached cottage offers approximately 1,634 sq ft of versatile accommodation, presenting an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking space, parking and scope to enhance.

The property provides three reception rooms and three bedrooms, offering flexible living arrangements well suited to family life or those working from home. A particular advantage is the double garage and off-road parking, a rare and highly desirable feature in a village setting.

During their seven years of ownership, the owners have invested in key energy efficiency improvements, including wholly owned solar panels, an air source heat pump and external insulation. A small section of internal plasterwork will require reinstatement following previous moisture ingress. The issue has now been addressed and the external insulation is in good order. The property would now benefit from general updating and cosmetic improvement overall, providing clear potential for the next owner to modernise and add value.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-proportioned detached cottage in a well-connected Somerset village with excellent long-term potential.
