Jasmine Cottage, Tengore End, Somerton, Somerset

A wonderfully characterful semi-detached, cottage, set on the north-eastern outskirts of Langport within grounds of approximately half an acre. A registered smallholding with a lifestyle feel from the moment you arrive, Jasmine Cottage combines period charm with meaningful modern improvements, generous outside space, a heated outdoor swimming pool, extensive parking, and exciting future potential.

The current owners have thoughtfully enhanced the property to create a home that feels both more stylish and more practical for modern living. Decorative upgrades throughout have helped brighten and modernise the cottage, while landscaping works have improved the enjoyment and usability of the grounds. The result is a home that still retains its cottage warmth and personality, but now feels more functional and ready to enjoy.

The accommodation is arranged around a welcoming sitting room with a wood burning stove, which acts as a natural focal point and adds to the home’s cosy, characterful atmosphere. To the rear of this room is a useful study area, ideal for home working, reading or hobbies. There is also a separate reception room, offering flexibility as a family room, snug, play room or occasional guest space depending on a buyer’s needs.

The bathroom has been upgraded by the current owners and serves the ground floor accommodation well, while the kitchen/dining room offers an excellent social space with plenty of storage and room for a dining table and chairs. It is a practical and inviting part of the home, well suited to everyday life as well as entertaining.

On the first floor are two bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a further dual-aspect double bedroom.

Outside is where Jasmine Cottage really begins to set itself apart. The grounds provide a rare blend of space, charm and versatility, with landscaped garden areas, extensive parking, and a heated outdoor swimming pool that gives the property a real lifestyle edge. There is also a timber summer house and a substantial detached outbuilding with light, power and heating, making it ideal for storage, hobbies, a workshop, studio or creative space.

The upper section of the grounds has previously been used as a smallholding and offers excellent flexibility for those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle, further garden space, or simply room to breathe. The property also offers exciting scope for the future, with clear potential for enlargement and enhancement, subject to the necessary permissions and consents.

Jasmine Cottage is the sort of home that buyers remember, not just because of its looks, but because of how it feels. Full of charm, packed with potential, and offering a rare amount of outside space for a cottage of this type, it is a property with genuine individuality.
