This Grade 11 listed property has a wealth of charm and includes an entrance porch, a sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, kitchen/dining room, a useful back kitchen and a sunny, very private garden room. On the first floor are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.
There is no private parking but there is easy parking on the village lane in front of the cottage.

Location
Butleigh is a charming and sought-after Somerset village, well known for its attractive period homes, rural setting and strong sense of community. It offers a peaceful and picturesque environment while retaining an active local identity. Amenities include the historic parish Church, Primary School, playing fields, children’s play areas and the well-used sports pavilion, which hosts a variety of clubs, activities and community events. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with a network of local footpaths and lanes providing excellent opportunities for enjoying the wider Somerset landscape. Nearby Sourdown Farm also offers a café, farm shop and tap room, adding to the area’s appeal. With its blend of character, community facilities and accessible rural charm, Butleigh is particularly attractive to families, downsizers and buyers seeking village life within a tranquil yet well-connected part of central Somerset. It is also worth noting that it’s less than three miles to Millfield Senior School.
Description
This idyllic cottage is set in the heart of a vibrant and popular village. It offers the character one would expect from a Grade 11 listed property, with period charm and a delightful garden.
The stone cottage has a tiled roof, timber windows and a very attractive front elevation softened by climbing roses.
The front door opens from the High Street into a small porch, with space for coats and boots, before leading into the sitting room. This is a wonderfully characterful room, rich in period detail, with exposed ceiling beams, an inglenook fireplace with Bessemer beam, wood-burning stove, an old bread oven, paved hearth, window seats and an exposed stone wall. The room has a particularly generous space, extending to over 20 ft in length, and forms the heart of the cottage.
A timber door opens through to the kitchen, which has a tiled floor, exposed stonework and a good range of fitted units with work surfaces, sink, electric cooker, extractor and two electric ovens. Leading off the kitchen is a useful back kitchen providing a laundry/pantry/utility room and has shelving, plumbing for a washing machine and the gas central heating boiler.
Double half-glazed timber doors open from the kitchen into a generous garden room/conservatory which is one of the highlights of the living areas. It has a tiled floor and doors directly into the garden, creating an excellent link between the house and charming gardens.
The stairs rise from the sitting room to the first floor landing, where there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Each bedroom has its own cottage character, with timber doors, attractive timber-framed windows, exposed boarding, fitted cupboards or desk areas. The principal bedroom is a generous room with timber panelling, fitted cupboards and hanging space, while the third bedroom enjoys a particularly pleasant outlook over the garden. The bathroom includes a bath with shower over, basin, WC and tiled splashbacks.
Outside
Directly outside the garden room is a paved terrace with ivy-clad walls. The garden is mainly lawned, with established boundaries, mature shrubs, trees, climbing roses and a small pond. Further along are useful outbuildings, including a stone store and timber sheds, with a small apple orchard area beyond leading to a vegetable area.

About the area
The surrounding area offers an excellent range of amenities, schooling, communications and recreational opportunities, making Butleigh a particularly convenient base from which to enjoy this beautiful part of Somerset. The historic City of Wells, England’s smallest city, is within easy reach and is renowned for its magnificent cathedral, Bishop’s Palace, market square and independent shops, as well as a good choice of cafés, restaurants and everyday services.
Nearby Glastonbury is rich in history and character, with its famous Tor, Abbey ruins and vibrant town centre, while the large village of Street provides a more extensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, including Clarks Village, supermarkets, cafés and a variety of practical day-to-day amenities.
The area is also well served by excellent state and independent schools in the area including Crispins, St Dunstans, Wells Blue School, Strode College, Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, and the Bruton schools.
For those needing to travel further afield, Castle Cary offers a mainline railway station with services to London Paddington and the West Country, making the location well suited to buyers who require occasional or regular access to the capital. Road links are also good, with the A303 providing a principal route east towards London and west towards Devon and Cornwall, opening the wider southwest for business, holidays and weekend escapes.
The countryside surrounding Butleigh is one of the area’s great attractions. The village sits amid rolling farmland, quiet lanes, footpaths and bridleways, with the Somerset Levels, Mendip Hills and wider West Country landscape all accessible. This is an area ideal for walking, cycling, riding and enjoying the outdoors, while still being close to the cultural, educational and commercial facilities of Wells, Glastonbury, Street and Castle Cary. The result is a highly appealing balance of rural tranquillity and practical accessibility, with some of Somerset’s most distinctive towns, villages and countryside close at hand.
