It benefits from generous gardens totalling half an acre, incredibly versatile accommodation, sensational countryside views, prominent and exclusive positon, private driveway, double garage and situated in the esteemed village of Dowlish Wake.
Occupying what we consider to be one of the most exclusive positions in the renowned village of Dowlish Wake is this attractive three bedroom chalet bungalow on a generous plot of circa half an acre. In brief the property comprises a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, two bedrooms, bathroom and WC to the ground floor, with a bedroom and useful loft space to the first floor. The property comes to the market for the very first time, testament to what a wonderful family home it has been. All the rooms are noticeably well-proportioned and because Orchardland sits within the heart of its own plot, there are stunning garden views at every turn. The dual aspect sitting room is light and airy and has the added benefit of an inset wood-burner making it the perfect space to enjoy throughout the seasons. For those who enjoy entertaining the dining room is a welcoming setting in which to do so. The kitchen is well-fitted with plenty of workspace and has lovely views to the garden and fields beyond. The ground floor has two bedrooms which are serviced by the family bathroom which is well worth noting for those who are looking for single storey living. The current upstairs set-up includes another double bedroom and a large loft space which could be utilised in a number of different ways depending on one’s needs and necessary consents. What is most apparent about this charming home is the degree of versatility and potential it has to offer.

Dowlish Wake, tucked away from main roads in a hidden and beautiful part of the South Somerset with some excellent walks and public footpaths, nearby, together with a farm shop at Perry's Cider, parish church and public house (The New Inn). The nearest town is Ilminster, centred on its fine Minster and Market Place with independent and traditional shops as well as supermarket, together with many clubs and amateur dramatics. Other main towns in the area include Chard, Yeovil and Taunton all of which have a good range of facilities. Communications to the area are excellent. The A303 is a dual carriageway most of the way to London and provides fast access to the east. Exeter is under an hour away to the west, and junction 25 of the M5 is about 10 miles north of Ilminster. There are mainline railway stations at Crewkerne (7 miles - Waterloo connection) and Taunton (14 miles - Paddington connection). South coast at Lyme Regis 16.2 miles.
The property is approached by a private, gated driveway giving access to off-road parking and the double garage. The generous plot of circa half an acre, surrounds Orchardland to all sides and is laid to sweeping lawns, apple trees, shrubs and colourful flora. It is further complemented by the babbling Dowlish Brook which runs through the grounds and can be found at the lower level of lawn. It’s the most idyllic and magical setting for entertaining, alfresco dining and enjoying with family and friends whilst those with green-fingers will appreciate the exciting blank canvas. The views are exceptional, taking in historic, picture postcard scenes of Dowlish Wake to the front and endless views over farmland and the rolling countryside beyond at the rear. The plot and gardens really must be seen to fully appreciate.
Please note there will be a small area of land retained to the East and North of Perry’s Cider offices.
Note that one of the sellers used to work for Greenslade Taylor Hunt.
