House For Sale £650,000
A fabulous chance to purchase a spacious detached family bungalow sitting in grounds approaching half an acre and providing nearly 2000 square feet (185 sq. M.) of living accommodation. The bungalow offers four double bedrooms and is situated in a tranquil no through lane on the outskirts of the popular Somerset village of Henstridge. The village has a good Ofsted rated Primary School, two pubs, Village Hall and local shop with Post Office. We believe that the property dates to the 1970s and has been the much loved and enjoyed home to our sellers for seventeen years. During this time it has been exceptionally well maintained and reconfigured, and more recently sympathetically extended to include a generous hall, study, utility room and a large conservatory that has a splendid view over the garden and pastureland. The property also benefits from lpg central heating, lpg aga, uPVC double glazing and wholly owned solar panels that provide electric with any surplus going to the grid. This lovely home must be viewed to truly appreciate how special it is and the rural but not isolated location. Further shopping facilities are a short drive away in Stalbridge and there are excellent communication links from the village to the A30 and A303 plus a mainline train station at Templecombe, with direct trains to London, is less than 2 miles from the property.
