Delightful and charming character cottage within walking distance of the plentiful amenities of South Petherton. The current sellers have had mains gas connected, during their ownership which has made a substantial difference to the energy performance rating which has been assessed as a C rating. Boasting many original features to include flagstone flooring, sash windows and window shutters, the well presented accommodation comprises sitting room with log burner, dining area, kitchen and utility room on the ground floor. Upstairs are two bedrooms and the family bathroom. To the rear of the property is a private enclosed garden. <br/><br/>Approach<br/>The cottage is positioned at the top of Palmer Street, just as the road curves around to become Compton Road. The cottage, unusually, is red brick compared with its hamstone neighbours<br/><br/>Ground floor<br/>The cottage is considerably wider than its neighbouring properties, boasting an entrance hall with original stone flooring. A door on the right leads to a welcoming sitting room with log burner and ample room for furniture. Continuing along the entrance hall you enter the kitchen / diner which has an impressive number of wall cupboards, understairs storage and space for a dining table. There is also a door leading to the utility room and rear, garden door. <br/><br/>First floor<br/>From the top of the stairs are two double bedrooms, the master being particularly impressive with its wall of built in storage and characterful shuttered windows. The current owners have set this large room up as an office space, preferring the second bedroom as a more cosy room for sleeping. There is also a bathroom with bath, wc and wash hand basin.<br/><br/>Rear Garden<br/>The rear garden is raised up steps and has a lovely range of plants and shrubs. Immediately outside the back door is an area, beneath decking, for storage. There is a grassed area as well as a patio terrace - ideal for al fresco dining, a garden shed, compost area and log store. This cottage is one of the few which benefits from a rear gate leading to a back alley ideal for taking out bins and recycling or for a quicker access to rural walks and the nearby allotments.<br/><br/>Material Information<br/>FreeholdCharacter cottage dating back to 1870EPC - CCouncil Tax - BServices - Mains electric, gas, water and drainageLog Burner Combi Boiler - Located in the bathroom cupboard.
