Pitcombe, Bruton, BA10

An attractive two-bedroom stone cottage in the sought-after village of Pitcombe, offering plenty of character and an exciting opportunity for a new owner to renovate and create a charming country home.

5 Pitcombe is a traditional stone-built cottage with an abundance of period character and considerable potential. Now requiring modernisation, the property provides an increasingly rare opportunity to update a characterful cottage to individual taste, while retaining many of the features that give the house its charm.

The front door opens into the ground floor accommodation, where the principal reception room forms the heart of the cottage. Timber flooring and a fireplace with wood-burning stove create an attractive focal point, while doors at the rear lead through to the conservatory, bringing in plenty of natural light and providing a lovely connection with the garden.

Alongside the reception room is the kitchen, currently fitted with a range of timber-fronted units, wooden work surfaces and a Belfast-style sink. The kitchen also provides access to the garden and incorporates the staircase rising to the first floor.

The conservatory has French doors opening directly onto the garden and with glazing on three sides, this is a wonderfully light space with the potential to become a very appealing extension of the main living accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor provides two bedrooms and a shower room. Both bedrooms retain the cottage's character, with timber floorboards and traditional windows and a charming fireplace in the larger of the two rooms.

Outside

To the rear is an established cottage garden, enclosed by mature planting and offering a good degree of greenery and privacy. The garden is currently somewhat overgrown, but its mature shrubs, planting and stone and brick boundaries give a real sense of what could be created here. With some thoughtful landscaping, it has the makings of a particularly pretty and secluded outdoor space. There is a right of way over the neighbours garden to the river beyond.

Location

Pitcombe is an attractive Somerset village just outside Bruton, surrounded by beautiful countryside yet conveniently placed for both Bruton and Castle Cary. Bruton offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, while nearby Castle Cary provides further everyday amenities and a mainline railway station with services to London Paddington. Together, they make Pitcombe a lovely rural base with plenty close at hand.
