Summary
A charming and substantial Grade II listed cottage with origins dating back to the 15th century, set within beautifully landscaped gardens of approximately two thirds of an acre in the quiet hamlet of Upton.

Constructed of local Lias stone beneath a thatched roof (re-thatched in 2021), this detached character home offers a wealth of period features including inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, and deep-set window seats.

With three reception rooms, conservatory, four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the house offers generous and versatile accommodation, complemented by a range of outbuildings including a double garage, a further garage, detached barn, and summerhouse.

A rare opportunity to acquire a quintessentially English country home in a delightful rural location with easy access to nearby market towns and main transport links.

The Cottage
This characterful home is set in a peaceful rural hamlet just outside Long Sutton and enjoys a private position with views across the surrounding countryside.

The property has been sensitively maintained by the current owners, preserving a wealth of period features. The thatched roof was re-laid by local master thatchers in 2021, and the house is heated via mains gas central heating.

On entering, a central hallway sets the tone for the rest of the home, with exposed beams and original detailing throughout. To the left is a large dining room with an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers and fitted storage. A window seat enjoys a pleasant outlook to the gardens.

At the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and includes an integrated oven, gas hob, and dishwasher, with further space for a freestanding fridge. Adjoining the kitchen is a rear lobby, ideal for coats and boots, which in turn leads to a utility area and ground floor shower room.

The main sitting room is dual aspect, generously proportioned and features a second inglenook fireplace with a gas fire and another window seat. Beyond this is a light-filled study, leading through to a conservatory that opens directly onto the garden.

Upstairs, a spacious landing gives access to four well-proportioned bedrooms, all with character features. The primary and third bedrooms have built-in storage, and all are served by a central family bathroom

Gardens & Grounds
Set within approximately 0.62 acres, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide distinct and charming spaces. The grounds feature formal lawns, herbaceous borders, fruit trees, vegetable beds, and a poly tunnel—ideal for keen gardeners.

The front and side gardens form a classic English cottage garden, richly planted with roses and perennial borders. A summerhouse and garden shed are tucked into quiet corners, offering spaces for pottering or relaxing.

To the rear, a patio area provides an excellent spot for alfresco dining, while mature hedging and trees offer seclusion and shelter.

The property offers ample off-street parking and a detached double garage with adjoining store. A further detached barn, currently used as a workshop, offers excellent potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation (subject to planning permission).

Location
Upton is a small and peaceful hamlet located less than a mile from the highly desirable village of Long Sutton. Long Sutton offers a well-regarded primary school, shop with Post Office, the popular Devonshire Arms country inn, a church, village hall, and an 18-hole golf course.

The surrounding countryside offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling and exploration, with easy access to the nearby market towns of Somerton and Langport.

Transport links are excellent with the A303 just minutes away, giving fast access west to Exeter and east to London (via the M3). Mainline train services to London Paddington are available from Castle Cary, and to London Waterloo from Yeovil Junction.
