Description
Ground Floor
The front door opens from the High Street into an entrance hall with stairs ascending to the first floor and space for coats and shoes. The kitchen/breakfast room pairs classic charm with practicality, featuring cream shaker-style cabinetry, wooden countertops and retro tiled flooring. A corner 1 ½ sink sits beneath shelving, while a double electric range cooker with five-ring hob offers an ideal set-up for keen cooks. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and dishwasher, with space for a washing machine. A side door opens to an aesthetic courtyard and gated shared driveway. The sitting room is a welcoming and light-filled space, complete with a large front-facing sash window and an elegant gas fireplace with a white surround and tiled hearth.
First Floor
The first-floor landing is illuminated by a light tunnel and leads to two beautifully presented bedrooms and a family shower room. The principal bedroom enjoys twin sash windows, a decorative fireplace and a built-in wardrobe, while the second bedroom also features period details, a cast-iron fireplace and a tall Victorian-style radiator. The shower room combines traditional styling with modern comfort, fitted with a vanity sink, WC, walk-in shower with rainfall head, and underfloor heating with digital thermostat control.
Second Floor
Stairs ascend to the upper floor, where the third bedroom forms a secluded loft suite. With slanted ceilings, three dormer sash windows and a built-in double wardrobe, this space makes an ideal guest suite. The ensuite bathroom completes this floor, fitted with a bath and shower over, WC, basin with mirror above and elegant marble-style flooring.
Outside
To the front, the property displays all the charm and character of a traditional townhouse, with its sash and dormer windows, sage-green accent door and elegant facade. A shared gated driveway to the side provides allocated parking spaces while the attractive courtyard offers an enclosed outdoor area. Traditional stone paving and a storm porch adds both style and shelter and the attached shed provides practical storage. Altogether, this is a home that perfectly balances town living, period beauty and everyday convenience.
Location
Wincanton is a small Somerset town lying just north of the A303 and offers a range of day-to-day facilities including doctors’ surgery, post office, library, schools, independent shops and two supermarkets. It is approximately six miles from the main-line railway stations at Gillingham and Templecombe with services to London, Waterloo and Exeter. A few miles to the north are Castle Cary and Bruton, which are on the London Paddington line and the much-improved A303, which links with the M3, is literally minutes away and provides east-west road travel. Wincanton is a typical Somerset town close to many delightful villages and places of interest such as the Abbey town of Sherborne, the Cathedral City of Salisbury and the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury. The larger town of Yeovil is approximately 15 miles distance.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
