Spacious split-level bungalow with large garden and double garage, ideal for countryside living..
Chain-free split-level detached bungalow on c.0.42 acre plot
Set in a quiet hamlet between Chard and Combe St Nicholas, this split-level detached bungalow sits within about 0.42 acre of mature gardens and offers flexible family accommodation across c.2,340 sq ft. The house includes a double garage, large carport, lower-ground hobbies room and a double-aspect living room with a wood burner — strong assets for countryside living and practical storage. Offered chain-free, the property is attractive to buyers seeking space, privacy and scope to personalise.
The house has been in the same ownership for around forty years and would benefit from a programme of sympathetic updating. Notable practical considerations are a single family bathroom (plus one en-suite), oil-fired central heating, double glazing installed before 2002 and an EPC rating of D. These factors, together with an above-average council tax band, should be factored into running-cost and renovation budgets.
With a substantial, well-treed plot and a secluded drive, the garden is a standout feature — lawn, mature shrubs and specimen trees offer privacy and potential to create terraces, vegetable beds or an extension (subject to consents). The split-level layout and lower-ground hobby room give options for home offices, annexe use or leisure space once modernised.
This home will suit families or downsizers who value rural seclusion and generous outside space, and buyers prepared to invest in updating to unlock its full potential. Its location in an established farming community gives easy access to local amenities in Chard, good schools nearby and the Jurassic Coast within reasonable driving distance.
