A Much-Loved Family Home with Glorious Garden in a Friendly Village Setting

Set in a small, close-knit village with a welcoming pub, cricket pitch, and historic church, this charming mid-terrace home has been a treasured family haven for over 30 years. Well-maintained and full of heart, it offers space, comfort, and an unbeatable garden — all within easy reach of Wincanton, Gillingham, and essential amenities.

Inside, the layout is ideal for family living. Three generous bedrooms provide plenty of room to grow, alongside a family bathroom and a handy downstairs WC with potential to add a shower. The bright sitting room is perfect for movie nights and quiet evenings, while the open-plan kitchen and dining room is made for mealtimes, homework sessions, and weekend baking.

There’s also exciting scope for personalisation, making it easy to put your own stamp on the space and adapt it to your family’s lifestyle over time — whether you’re dreaming of a contemporary update or simply want to add a touch of your own style.

Step outside and you’ll find one of the home’s true highlights — a large, sun-drenched garden that’s been lovingly cared for and backs onto open fields. With excellent privacy, space to play, and endless potential for growing, relaxing, or entertaining, it’s the kind of outdoor space every family dreams of.

Parking is available on the road or in a nearby communal area, just a short walk from the front door.

This is more than just a house — it’s a warm, welcoming home ready for its next chapter in a village where neighbours know your name and children can grow up with space, freedom, and a real sense of belonging.
