House For Sale £610,000
A wonderful chance to purchase a large, individually designed detached family home set in grounds approaching a fifth of an acre with four double sized bedrooms, presented to the market with the advantage of no onward chain and enjoying a set back and peaceful position in the popular village of Bourton. The village boasts a public house - The White Lion, which serves food, garage with convenience store, church and a primary school. Further facilities may be found at Mere, Wincanton and Gillingham, all about five miles away with Gillingham benefitting from a mainline train station. The property was built for the current sellers, to their own specification in 2005 and offers a traditional style layout with well proportioned rooms offering flexible usage. The property benefits from hardwood double glazing and oil fired central heating with underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the first. This lovely home provides excellent accommodation as is, yet offers scope to further develop by pushing out from the walk in wardrobe of the main bedroom and creating an en-suite and turning the current en-suite into a large walk in wardrobe/dressing room. The garage loft space also offers possibilities to convert to meet one's own needs. The property must be viewed to really appreciate what it has to offer, both inside and out, as well as its situation within the village plus its' direct access to a footpath leading through countryside to Pensel Wood and Stourhead. An early viewing is strongly urged.
