Set directly off Chard’s High Street, this large Victorian semi-detached house offers substantial living space and a private, enclosed garden in a genuinely central location. The property’s size and flexible layout — formerly two dwellings — provide scope for a growing family or an investor seeking rental income after refurbishment.
The ground floor includes a recently fitted kitchen, utility space, snug and a second kitchen with a large living room beyond, demonstrating clear potential for reconfiguration. Upstairs are multiple bedrooms served by two bathrooms and a loft room; the two staircases create self-contained circulation that could suit multi-generational living or be rationalised into a single-family layout.
Practical positives include off-street parking and a garage, good mobile and broadband connectivity, and very close access to local shops, schools and commuter links. Nearby schools include Manor Court Community Primary (Good), Chard School (independent) and Holyrood Academy (Good).
Material drawbacks are significant and stated plainly: the house requires general modernisation throughout, sits in an area with higher crime and local deprivation indicators, and has above-average council tax. The sale uses a Reservation Fee process — a non-refundable reservation fee of £3,636 plus additional buyer administration charges apply; please review the Legal Pack and Terms and Conditions carefully before proceeding.
