RIVERSIDE, 6 LUSTY, BRUTON, SOMERSET, BA10 0BY

A charming period cottage, set within the heart of Bruton, with immense charm and potential. 

The accommodation requires some modernisation but offers great scope to improve and includes an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, three spacious double bedrooms, and a refurbished family bathroom. 

Outside, there is a garage for parking, and an enchanting, partially walled garden alongside a spring-fed brook.

Accommodation Riverside is a period semi-detached cottage, quietly positioned just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Bruton. Rich in original detail and offering well-proportioned accommodation throughout, the property presents an excellent opportunity to create a characterful town home.

The cottage is accessed via a side entrance hall, which connects to the sitting room and kitchen. The sitting room is a generous and welcoming space, featuring original sash windows and a traditional brick fireplace. A separate dining room also benefits from sash windows and its own fireplace, with exposed local stone walling, and stairs rising to the first floor.

To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, making it a usable space, although it would benefit from updating. There is a lovely copper extractor, set above an alcove, which could be retained to create an impressive feature.

On the first floor are three comfortable double bedrooms, all with sash windows and timber floors which could be refurbished. Two bedrooms retain attractive cast-iron fireplaces, while the master bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, including a large walk-in cupboard, offering flexibility as storage, dressing space, or potential as an en-suite or study area. The family bathroom is notably spacious and has recently been updated to include stylish aqua panels, a bath with an overhead shower, a basin, and a toilet. An airing cupboard off the landing completes the accommodation.

Outside To the rear lies a private and secluded south-facing cottage garden, with a paved terrace leading up a few steps to a level lawn. Mature planting and fruit trees give the garden a well-established, enclosed feel. Beyond the garden is a garage owned by this cottage. The garage could be removed to create parking, subject to the necessary consents.
