Set in one of East Coker’s most prestigious village addresses, 1 Buntham is an exquisitely restored Grade II listed end‑terrace thatched cottage, full of charm and finished to an exceptional standard. The solid painted oak front door opens into a welcoming porch with Ham stone flooring and a multi‑pane cottage window, creating an immediate sense of period warmth.

Glazed double doors lead into the main reception room, a beautifully presented space filled with natural light and rich in original character. An exposed brick chimney breast with quarry‑tiled hearth and a cream cast‑iron Jotul log burner forms the focal point, complemented by solid oak flooring, exposed heavy beam work and both front and rear cottage windows, one with a window seat. Period‑style double doors open to the courtyard, while an open staircase rises to the first floor with a useful understairs recess.

Double panelled doors lead into the recently fitted kitchen, offering stylish painted units, wooden work surfaces, a composite 1.5  sink and drainer, integrated appliances and a period‑style window overlooking the rear. The craftsmanship and attention to detail continue throughout.

The staircase leads to a characterful landing with exposed beams and painted floorboards. A latch door opens into the main bedroom, a wonderfully atmospheric room with two multi‑pane cottage windows to the front, both with window seats, and an additional side window. Exposed beams and painted timber floorboards enhance the cottage feel, and a loft hatch provides storage.

The bathroom features a period‑style white suite with a panelled bath, pedestal basin and toilet. A multi‑pane window brings in soft natural light, and a latch door opens to the airing cupboard housing the pressurised hot water cylinder.

Outside, the cottage enjoys a small front garden with a Ham stone raised flowerbed and a timber side gate leading to the rear. The rear courtyard is an intimate, stone‑walled space with a timber log store, ideal for quiet moments outdoors. Beyond this sits a charming detached outbuilding, formerly a piggery, now used as a workshop with light, power and space for appliances.

Natural Ham stone steps rise from the courtyard to the breathtaking landscaped rear garden, stretching out behind the cottage and designed with structure, planting and year‑round interest in mind. It provides a stunning backdrop to this historic home and a peaceful retreat in all seasons.

Neighbouring properties have a right of way across the rear garden and side access, though this is not currently in use.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored period cottage in a highly sought‑after village, close to a country pub, primary school, farm shop and mainline rail links. A home that truly needs to be seen to be appreciated.
