This charming hamstone cottage is situated in Puckington, a small village of mainly attractive period properties that sits to the north of Ilminster. The three/four-bedroom property, named The Writer’s Cottage, is packed with original charm and character, and is surprisingly spacious inside. The entire house has recently benefitted from an extensive and careful renovation and is now beautifully presented with a range of lovely features that sit alongside the property’s original characteristics such as exposed beams, farmhouse doors, and a stone fireplace. The house offers flexible accommodation over two storeys with three double bedrooms upstairs and a single downstairs.

Inside, the property is presented to a high standard. The lounge is flooded with natural light and has French windows that frame pretty garden views. The dining room is spacious and has French doors and a stone‐surround fireplace. The ground floor is completed with a fourth bedroom/study which includes a new ensuite shower room with a rainfall shower.

The kitchen/breakfast room sits at the heart of the home and has free‐standing units with several interesting pieces of furniture including a LOAF pantry, a SMEG range oven, two cabinets imported from San Francisco and a plate rack bought at an antiques market in France.

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with tasteful stone flooring, a Velux window, and a pretty roll‐top bath. The principal bedroom has a panelled wall, a built‐in wardrobe, and lovely views of the garden.

Outside, the large garden has an interesting split-level layout with a paved courtyard, areas of lawns, hamstone walls and flower beds. The property comes with an interesting outbuilding, offering development potential (subject to planning).

Parking can be found at the end of the terrace, one cottage away, where there is space for two vehicles.
