for keen gardeners or those wishing looking for potential to extend and create
an even larger home. Offered with no onward chain.
**The Property**
The elevated position of this fine 1950’s bungalow gives it the loveliest
views to the south across the Somerset countryside. Tucked away in a private
position with a wooded area behind, it’s a haven for wildlife and a real bonus
for keen gardeners.
The property is approached up a private driveway leading to a parking /
turning area. A gate leads you through to the front of the property where a
UPVC double glazed door opens into a good size porch which in turn opens to
the entrance hall. There’s a storage cupboard for coats that also houses the
electric consumer unit, and a further airing cupboard housing the hot water
cylinder and shelving.
A bright and exceptionally spacious reception room is plenty large enough for
use as living / dining room, making the most of the position with triple
aspect windows and doors providing lovely views over the grounds and
countryside. The stone and brick open fireplace is not in use currently but
could be reinstated.
Beyond is a separate kitchen / breakfast room with views over the rear garden.
Fitted with a range of modern white units and black laminate worktops it
comprises floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and drawers with stainless
steel sink unit, and incorporates space for under surface fridge and space for
an electric cooker.
A stable style door opens to a separate utility area wit space for two further
undercounter appliances.
The hall leads to two good size double bedrooms, both with a range of fitted
bedroom units including wardrobes and overhead storage. The fully tiled
bathroom is fitted with a neutral suite comprising panelled bath with electric
Triton shower over, close coupled WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
**Outside**
The driveway leads onto a paved driveway / turning area which in turn provides
access to the single garage with up and over door, power and light. There is
also a timber summerhouse for catching the evening sun. At the rear of the
garage is a further Laundry / Store area with space for both washing machine
and tumble dryer and lots of useful storage. To the side of the garage steps
lead up past the PVCu oil tank to the rear garden. An undercover area leads
around to the back door past a handy external WC with wash hand basin. There
is also an outside tap.
The rear garden is slightly elevated from the bungalow and mainly laid to lawn
that sweeps down to the east side of the garden where a gateway separates a
further area containing the private drainage system and composting areas.
A gate leads through to the lower lawn, dotted with shrubs such as
rhododendron and hydrangea. A path leads up to a upper level of lawn, edged
with shrubs and primroses, leading back to the front door.
**Situation**

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its miles and miles of herepaths
