Secret ‘Tardis’ cottage is bigger than it looks

If you didn’t know it was there you would certainly miss it. But this hidden cottage in Somerset is full of surprises – just like Doctor Who‘s Tardis.

Squashed between two houses, it certainly lives up to its adorable name – ‘Backabit Cottage’.

And it is now on sale for £109,000 – quite a bit less than the average property price in the area, which sits at around £275,000.

Behind the unassuming front door, there is a whole two-storey home awaiting.

Inside is 538 sq ft of space, including a welcoming pale green entrance hall complete with stained glass windows and handy shelving.

Also on the ground floor is the living room and a kitchen complete with a wood-burning stove.

Upstairs there is one bedroom, with enough space for a double bed, along with the bathroom which has a combination bath and shower.

The house has a real country cottage feel with traditional exposed beams and sash windows which add to the cosy atmosphere.

And despite being tucked away from view, the cottage is in a handy location within a ten-minute walk from Highbridge train station.

Auctioneer Scott Gray, known for his regular appearances on BBC Homes Under the Hammer, said: “This cottage offers real charm due to its unusual situation being tucked away behind the main terrace of properties. The deceptively spacious accommodation gives the cottage a real Tardis-like feeling!”

The house is being auctioned off in two weeks time by 247 Property Auctions so if you’ve always dreamed of living in a Tardis – and think you can fit your furniture through the front door – this could be the house for you.
