House For Sale £800,000
Property Description: This detached bungalow in the popular village of Chilcompton was built by a local builder in 1977 and has been a cared for home. The property is centrally positioned within a fabulous walled garden of just under half an acre and was once the kitchen garden of the neighbouring property. The walled garden offers a high degree of privacy and security along with the automated gate that opens out to a gravel drive with a turning circle and double garage.
As you drive through the gates, you can truly appreciate the space and opportunity that this property has to offer. The dual aspect living room has a warming gas fire and has views over the front of the property. The dining room and kitchen/breakfast room could be combined and extended to create a larger open plan kitchen/family room. These are situated at the rear of the property and both overlook the beautifully landscaped grounds. There is a useful utility room leading from the kitchen with a rear door leading out to the garden and a personal door through to the double garage together with space and plumbing for a water softener, a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The main double bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom which has a corner whirlpool bath and a separate shower. There are two further double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. All three double bedrooms have plenty of built in or fitted storage. There is a fourth room which could be used as a fourth bedroom, however the current owners use it as a home office. There is also a family bathroom located off the hallway.
This already lovely bungalow with its generous sized plot, has a wealth of opportunity to put your own stamp on to create a property for your own needs.
