House For Sale £650,000
'On The Rocks' is an individually designed bungalow located on a elevated and enviable position within the popular Mendip village of Chilcompton.
The property is set back from the road and offers a secluded retreat that affords excellent views out towards Bath as well as the local countryside.
The property is approached via a long sweeping driveway that opens up into the generous parking area in front of the double garages.
The official entrance is through the French doors into the hallway which stretched from one end of the property right around to the other end.
The living room is spacious with light coming in from three sides and an excellent 'Jet stream' open fire and stone built feature chimney, the dining room can be linked in for social occasions by sweeping back the folding doors.
Across the hall you will find the kitchen/breakfast room with granite work tops, integral appliances as well as a Rayburn for those cooler months. There is a utility room with stable doors out to the side garden and a step down into the other entrance lobby that could double up as a study.
The bedrooms are found along the far rear end of the bungalow offering maximum privacy and solitude, most have fitted wardrobes. The bathroom has a five piece suite and a separate Shower Room.
Externally the gardens are really superb, stretching to all sides, enclosed by hedge and fencing mainly. Plenty of space to enjoy at the rear, planting garden to the side and beautiful gardens to the front with a mixture of trees, shrubs flowers and grasses.
The present owner began the process of seeking planning to add a second two bedroom dwelling, the plot is big enough and can be continued, also the outbuildings, double garage and log store are all adjoined making a potential home office/gym set up feasible.
Chilcompton has a strong community with a highly sought after Primary school, local co-op supermarket and public houses. All in close proximity to Bath, Bristol and the Mendips surrounding.
