Blackmoor Lane, Henstridge

Stylish 1850s Stone Cottage with Contemporary Flair, Garden Bar & Garage

Situated on a quiet village lane, this charming end-of-terrace stone cottage, dating back to the 1850s, has been beautifully transformed over the past decade from a dated home into a stylish, contemporary retreat. Thoughtfully updated while retaining its character, the property enjoys a peaceful setting within walking distance of the local shop, pubs, village hall, and primary school.

Step inside to discover a spacious sitting room with a cosy log-burning stove, perfect for relaxing evenings. The modern kitchen is both sleek and functional, featuring soft-closing cabinetry, integrated appliances, and tri-folding doors with integrated blinds, opening directly onto the garden—ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. There are three generous double bedrooms, along with a luxurious bathroom complete with a double-ended two-person bath. A separate cloakroom with WC and tabletop basin adds convenience, and there’s potential to create a first-floor cloakroom by re-configuring the layout.

The garden has been designed for easy maintenance and features a fantastic bar area, making it a wonderful space to unwind or host guests. The plot also borders a gentle brook, adding a touch of tranquility to the outdoor space.

To the side of the property is a garage with both front and rear opening doors, offering excellent storage or workshop potential and convenient through-access to the garden.

With period charm, modern comforts, and flexible living space, this home is move-in ready and full of character—offering a unique lifestyle opportunity in a sought-after village setting.
