House For Sale £170,000
An interesting opportunity to acquire this famous Grade II listed historical building on the outskirts of Chard. This intriguing property was built in 1838 for the Turnpike Trust to collect toll money from passing traffic. The octagonal shape and placement of the windows meant that the collector of the tolls would not miss anyone that passed by. The property has been used as a holiday cottage for a number of years and would suit this again. Comprises: Entrance/utility, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, bathroom, 2 bedrooms, off road parking and charming garden orchard. **Available with no onward chain**
