House For Sale £600,000
This much loved detached bungalow is in need of modernisation but being set in a stunning location, in front of the old limestone quarry wall at Chewton Mendip and built by the former owners, this is the first time this property has come to market and offers a brilliant opportunity to transform this sizeable bungalow into a large family home (subject to planning consent). The property sits on a clearly defined plot on Coles Lane with a spacious driveway and a double detached garage to the side. Entering the property into the large entrance hall, you are greeted by the spacious living room to the right with a gas, stone effect fireplace and amazing views through the patio doors. There is also sufficient space to add an additional dining table if wanted, making it the perfect place to dine whilst watching the sun set over the neighbouring fields every evening. Leading off of the living/dining room is a study which is extremely handy for those who frequently work from home. Straight ahead of the entrance hall is the breakfast room and kitchen, the perfect social area for family and friends to gather. The kitchen holds plenty of storage, with oak effect kitchen units, built in hob and double oven. Following on from the kitchen is the utility room and WC with space to add a washing machine and tumble dryer. To the left of the property there are three good sized double bedrooms, two with built in wardrobes and the third with a built in storage cupboard. There is also access to the family bathroom and separate WC. Outside, there is parking for several cars and a detached double garage. The level wrap around garden provides you with endless opportunities for alfresco dining, play area and vegetable patches for those avid gardeners. The land surrounding the bungalow has been used as a small holding in the past but has been cleared to make way for its next chapter. Totalling 0.25 acre there is a huge opportunity to develop this much loved home into a modern forever family house.
Situation
Chewton Mendip is located in the Mendip Hills - an area well known for its beautiful landscape, and unspoilt villages.

Both offer excellent shopping, leisure and educational facilities. High speed rail services to London Paddington are available from Bristol and Bath and Bristol International Airport is 20 minutes (12 miles) away.

Travelling along the A37 through Farrington Gurney stay on this road at the top of Rush Hill where the road becomes the A39 towards Wells. As you come down the hill into the village of Chewton Mendip, turn left into Coles Lane and the property can be found 450 yards approx. on the left hand side. ///developer.shudders.exclaim
Our vendor says... The property has loads of potential and was built in 1966 by my parents, but after 57 years it is now on the open market ready for any new owner to turn into a family home.
We have noticed... In need of modernisation, this property offers a great amount of lateral living space but given the 0.25 acre setting, could be cleverly extended into the perfect family home.
