West Street, South Petherton

This charming and deceptively spacious double-fronted character cottage is beautifully presented and enjoys an enviable position within level walking distance of the village centre. While it may appear modest from the outside, the accommodation within is far more generous than first impressions suggest, offering a surprisingly expansive and versatile layout that’s ideal for families or those seeking flexible living space.

Attached on one side, the property combines period charm with modern comfort. Key features include a gas central heating system and a welcoming sitting room with a multi-fuel stove set into an attractive stone fireplace. There is also a second reception/sitting room offering additional living or entertaining space, and a well-equipped kitchen/dining room with a range of modern units. A utility room, a study or optional fourth bedroom, and a convenient downstairs shower room/WC.

Upstairs, the cottage provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property also benefits from integral access to a garage, providing excellent storage or potential workshop space.

The front garden is beautifully planted and full of seasonal interest, it creates a welcoming first impression. To the side of the property, tucked between the conservatory and the study, is a private and fully enclosed courtyard—an ideal space for outdoor dining, container gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings in total seclusion. The conservatory offers a tranquil retreat overlooking this charming courtyard space, further enhancing the home’s strong connection to the outdoors.

With private parking, surprisingly spacious interiors, and attractive outdoor areas, this character-filled cottage is a true hidden gem that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
