About this property

Charming 200 Year Old Cottage with Glorious Gardens & Countryside Tranquillity

Property Overview

Set in a peaceful countryside location just moments from the A303, this delightful two-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of rural charm and practical convenience. Though easily accessible, the setting feels wonderfully secluded—ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life without sacrificing access to local amenities.

Accommodation

The property is approached via a gently sloping private driveway, leading to both a traditional front entrance and a more practical side access. The side door opens into a spacious reception area, flowing into a generous country-style kitchen/diner with ample storage and room for entertaining.

The sitting room enjoys dual-aspect windows, flooding the space with natural light, and features a charming fireplace—perfect for cosy evenings.

Also on the ground floor is an internal lobby providing access to the garage, a handy downstairs WC and offering excellent storage or potential for conversion.

Upstairs, you'll find two comfortable double bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom. Notably, planning permission was previously granted (now lapsed) to extend the first floor above the existing ground floor living space—offering exciting potential for future development, subject to renewed consent.

Outside

The elevated gardens are a true highlight—private, peaceful, and brimming with potential. With mature trees, vibrant planting, and space for growing your own produce, this outdoor haven is ready to be nurtured and enjoyed.

Location

Situated in the heart of the South West countryside, the property enjoys excellent road links via the A303, with nearby villages offering shops, pubs, and essential services. A perfect base for exploring the region’s natural beauty, historic towns, and coastal escapes.

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home with scope to personalise and extend. Viewings are highly recommended and can be arranged at your convenience.

Maperton, first mentioned in the Domesday Book, is a sought-after village known for its scenic beauty, strong community feel, and proximity to key amenities. With excellent road links and a rich local heritage, it’s an ideal setting for those looking to enjoy countryside living without isolation.
