Set over two levels, this detached 3/4 bedroom chalet bungalow sits on a large plot close to Chard town centre. A bright 26ft lounge/diner with dual-aspect windows and a raised dining area gives generous living space, while the fitted kitchen includes a built-in larder and good appliance space. Two ground-floor bedrooms and a wet room provide flexible living; two further double bedrooms occupy the first floor with fitted storage cupboards.
Outdoors there is a driveway, off-street parking and two single garages, plus gardens and a private enclosed patio with external W.C. Practical benefits include double glazing and mains gas central heating (back-boiler). The property is chain free and sold freehold, offering scope to add value through updating and reconfiguring the upstairs bathroom (subject to services).
Important considerations: the house needs renovation and updating throughout, with cavity walls likely uninsulated. Current accommodation includes only a ground-floor wet room; an upstairs bathroom would require new services. The area has higher crime and relative deprivation, and council tax sits above average — factors to weigh alongside the property’s size and potential.
This home will suit buyers seeking space and scope to modernise — families wanting flexible layout, or DIY-focused purchasers looking to add value. Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the accommodation, plot and conversion potential.
