Vale Street, Henstridge, Templecombe

A lovely Victorian cottage of some 1,092sqft (101sqm) in a quiet road off the centre of the village.

Endicott is entered via a shared covered porch area that has a secured gate giving access to the garden gate beyond. The entrance hall has the stairs on the left and opens to the sitting room. With its tripartite window to the front giving good light, the sitting room has a wood burner in the fireplace and cupboards in the alcoves with book shelving above.

An opening goes through to the dining room with a storage cupboard and further bookshelves. Bringing lots of light are two open spaces to the kitchen area from possibly original window spaces. The kitchen is likely to be a Victorian addition and has a range of wall and floor units with basin under a velux window, oven and further appliances. A door leads to an enclosed side area, possibly for wood storage.

Three steps come up to the extended garden room with its solid roof construction, casement windows to one side and French doors to the garden.

The stairs are by the front door and on the landing has the bathroom overlooking the garden with a bath with electric shower over, wash hand basin, wc and an airing cupboard. At the end of the landing is principal bedroom with its tripartite window to the front. The second bedroom is also a small double room. Along the landing is a door that leads to the Loft room with a Space Saver staircase to it. This spans the whole house, some 5.36 meters, and is sizable and has been used for several uses in the past, the most recent as an occasional bedroom.
