Summary - 26, BOWDEN ROAD, TEMPLECOMBE BA8 0LE
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three-bed period home with rare plot and planning permission — strong family or investment prospect.
Full planning permission for a 2-bed detached house and garage (ref: 25/00569/MNTDC)
This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Templecombe blends characterful period detail with practical living and a rare development opportunity. The house offers a generous kitchen/dining extension with vaulted Velux windows, a spacious living room with an open fireplace, private gardens and off-street parking for two vehicles. The plot includes an attached outbuilding with electricity and a large additional parcel of land with full planning permission for a separate two-bedroom house and garage (ref: 25/00569/MNTDC), making this attractive to families seeking extra space or buyers looking for investment/development potential.
Internally the layout suits everyday family life: entrance hall with wooden flooring, a comfortable principal bedroom with built-in storage, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Practical features include double glazing (fitted before 2002), partial loft boarding and useful built-in cupboards. The front and rear gardens provide room for children and pets and the rear outbuilding could serve as a workshop or storage, although it currently lacks an external door.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is primarily by electric room heaters and broadband/mobile coverage is average; an oil tank and boiler are present but their condition has not been confirmed. The property has a single family bathroom and some elements — such as the outbuilding door and general cosmetic updates — will need attention. Council Tax is Band A which keeps running costs low.
Templecombe’s village amenities, good primary schools and a mainline station with direct services make this a convenient rural-fringe base. For families who want comfortable, characterful accommodation with scope to create extra value, or for investors seeking a permitted development plot, this property offers a compelling combination of home and opportunity.
