This charming two-bedroom period cottage occupies a peaceful position on the very edge of Chaffcombe village, surrounded by glorious unspoilt countryside, and it is only two miles away from Chard and four miles from Ilminster.

The stone-built, semi-detached house, named Tuppenny Cottage has been in the same ownership for many years and over the course of time it has been well maintained and extended, whilst retaining its original character.

There is also scope for further updates and enhancements.

On the ground floor, there are two cosy reception rooms, both with former fireplaces. The light-filled kitchen has a classic look with a good range of wooden units, contrasting dark work surfaces and plenty of space to accommodate appliances. There is also a light and bright conservatory with panoramic views of the neighbouring countryside.

On the first floor, there is a well-appointed principal bedroom with amazing views of the surrounding countryside and an adjoining family bathroom. Another large double bedroom with exposed timbers and plenty of storage space can be found on the second floor.

Outside, the cottage garden is landscaped with a large area of lawn, a wealth of spring flowers, ornamental shrubs and trees, and a small pond, all offset with a lovely backdrop of open fields and woodland.

There is a gravelled driveway providing ample parking space for several vehicles.
