Park Lane, TA24

A stunning Grade II listed thatched cottage situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Carhampton. Backing onto open countryside, this delightful property benefits from plentiful off-road parking, a detached garage, gardens to the front and rear together with wonderful countryside views.

It is believed that Court Cottage is probably of C15 or early C16 origin. During the mid-C20, the building was divided into two separate dwellings but was then converted back into a single dwelling during the late-C20. The property retains a significant proportion of its early fabric, including a plank and muntin screen in the living room and a partially smoke-blackened roof structure. Whilst retaining many of the original features, this property does enjoy the modern benefits of oil-fired central heating throughout together with a modern kitchen, bathroom, shower room and cloakroom.

The property is also close to lovely walks over the Deer Park to Dunster and across open farmland to the beach and walking alongside the heritage steam railway line to Blue Anchor.
