House For Sale £240,000
An absolutely fabulous chance to purchase a bright and spacious end of terrace retirement bungalow with two double bedrooms, presented to the market with no onward chain and situated in the heart of the country yet within a short drive to Wincanton, which offers a range of facilities. In the opposite direction there is a mainline train station serving Waterloo at Templecombe, which is less than four miles away and nine miles away is Castle Cary with a mainline to Paddington. The property has been especially designed for those over 55 years of age with wide openings and doors and to provide independent living with a choice as to how much personal interaction is taken with the other residents. The Club House holds many events from film screenings to church services and there is also the option of a weekly meal for a nominal cost and opportunity to use for private gatherings. There is also on site management staff Monday to Friday who can offer guidance on getting additional support, if required and pets are welcome. The bungalow itself offers well proportioned rooms with high ceilings, economy 7 electric heating and double glazing as well as its own paved sun terrace. A viewing is absolutely vital to truly appreciate this home as well as the large beautifully landscaped grounds.
