House For Sale £500,000
This detached bungalow is situated in a small cul-de-sac of just three properties, built in the early 1970's of traditional construction. The rooms sizes are generous with a wide hallway and large loft offering the potential for a loft conversion if desired (Subject to consents). The plot slopes gently from one side to the other with the garage and driveway at the lower end. The accommodation would benefit from some modernisation and comprises: Three double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, family bathroom with separate w.c., large central hallway, spacious L shaped lounge with a wood burning stove and a good sized kitchen/dining room. The central heating is a gas fired warm air system and the current owners have installed a heat exchanger in the loft with vents to all rooms, which improves the circulation of air throughout the property and helps prevent a build up of condensation. These systems are especially helpful in bungalows.
There are solar pv roof panels, which benefit from a generous Feed In Tariff, which helps enormously in these days of escalating household costs.
Outside, the garden lies mainly to the front which is south facing and then continues around the upper side of the house and to the back. The lower side has a pathway running along the side of the bungalow to join the driveway with some steps half way along the path leading down to the garage.
Musbury village offers many facilities within a short walk of the property, including a shop and post office, petrol station and car repairs, village pub, Church, primary school and regular bus services. The village offers easy access to nearby towns, the railway station at Axminster, 3 miles away, (with trains to London Waterloo and Exeter) and good road links. For those who enjoy walking, Musbury is well positioned with some very good walks from the door step, in particular the walk up to Musbury Castle, an Iron Age Hill fort from where there are great views over the Axe Valley.

Garden
The garden surrounds the bungalow on all side with the main part lying to the front, which is south facing. A mature beach hedge provides privacy to the front. The front garden is laid to lawn with a low raised planting bed beneath the hedge. There is a wide strip of garden to the side of the bungalow planted with a good variety of flowering shrubs, herbs and perennials such as Agapanthus. A low wall forms the boundary to this side. At the back of the house is a paved patio with a wall behind, although the actual boundary is beyond the wall itself. A paved path from the patio continues around to the other side of the property along which is a well established grape vine. Behind the garage is a log store and covered storage area. Around the garden are planted a number of small trees and mature shrubs including, Smoke Bush, Choisya, Mahonia, Palm, Hellebores and a Flame Yew to name a few. There is also a small ornamental pond. The garden has been planted with year round interest and wildlife in mind, with many plants (including lavender) to attract bees and butterflies.
