Charlton Mackrell is a popular village in Somerset, close to Street and Castle Cary. The property is a 17th-century detached cottage that has been well-maintained and updated, boasting 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The location benefits from being within walking distance of Charlton Mackrell Cofe Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), making it attractive to families. While other amenities may require a short drive, the village setting offers a peaceful and desirable lifestyle. The property itself appears to be in excellent condition based on the provided photographs, showing a blend of period features and modern updates. The interior is presented to a high standard, suggesting minimal need for repairs or renovations. The extensive gardens are a significant feature, offering a variety of landscaping, including a stream running through the property. The size of the garden is considerable and adds significantly to the property’s appeal. Considering the property’s condition, location, and substantial garden, the list price of £750,000 is in line with other properties in the area, although higher than the average price. However, the unique character of the cottage and its extensive grounds justify a premium compared to the average price per square foot. The lack of plot size data in square footage prevents a precise price per square foot calculation for this property. However, when compared to similar properties in the area, the price appears reasonable given the property’s condition and features.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
