The Borough, Montacute, Somerset, TA15

A deceptively large, Grade II Listed cottage set in the very heart of Montacute. 2 double bedrooms, large bathroom, 2 receptions. Beautiful partly walled garden.


Dolly’s Cottage comprises a gorgeous Hamstone property, deceptive in appearance, that offers much larger than expected accommodation arranged over ground and first floors. The property is offered for sale in excellent decorative order, and retains such features as some flagstone flooring, two fireplaces including the beautiful Hamstone fire in the sitting room and, of particular note, is the generous rear garden that is partly walled.

The property is approached from the road via an entrance lobby that in turn opens into the entrance hall. The charming sitting room has secondary glazing and the focal point of the room is the superb Hamstone fireplace (currently not used but is considered suitable for either an open fire or wood burner, subject to inspection). Behind the sitting room and accessed from the hallway is the generous dining room that has a flagstone floor and a further Hamstone fireplace (also with potential to be opened subject to inspection). Off the dining room is a useful conservatory/lean-to that has a tiled floor and patio doors opening to the garden. The kitchen is to be found at the rear, fitted with a good range of matching wall and base units and included Bosch cooker that features an induction hob, slimline dishwasher, washing machine together with the under work top fridge and separate freezer.

The first floor features a large landing that has ample space for a work desk or similar, together with the loft hatch and a large storage cupboard.

The two spacious bedrooms are both double in size, one to the rear whilst the other is located at the front with a pleasant view of The Borough. The first floor bathroom is of an exceptional size, fitted with a traditional 3 piece suite with an electric shower over the bath. There is also a corner cupboard containing the annually serviced combination gas fired boiler.
