Bishopswood, Chard, Somerset, TA20

A deceptively spacious 3 bedroom split level village home set in a large well established garden and enjoying open views over surrounding countryside. EPC: Band D

Built in the late 1960's, the property has been substantially extended to create the spacious and adaptable home that we see today. Entering at ground floor level, a wide hallway leads to a double aspect sitting room with wood burner, fitted bookshelves and lovely country views. Sliding glazed doors open into the dining room, also double aspect and with views, which in turn opens into a well fitted kitchen. The remainder of the ground floor is completed by two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The full height extension is glazed on three sides allowing the light to flood in and affording extensive views and access to the garden. The master bedroom is located at this level together with en-suite shower room, utility and garden rooms. Oil fired central heating is installed and there is Upvc double glazing throughout. With energy saving in mind, the property benefits from photo voltaic panels feeding back to the grid providing an income and subsidised electricity.
Fronting onto the village road, a wide visibility splay gives access to a tarmac driveway and parking area together with an attached single garage/workshop with office/storage space over. The garden has been established over many years and is mainly lawned with herbaceous borders, mature shrubs and trees including apple trees, fruit cage and vegetable area, bounded by a mix of traditional hedges and panel fencing.

The property is located in the centre of this popular Blackdown Hills village with its well known 'gastro' pub and thriving community hall and within 1 mile of the neighbouring village of Buckland St Mary with primary school and Church. The Blackdown Hills are a designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the surrounding landscape is very much one of an unchanging agricultural nature with undulating fields, woodland and small copses. The traditional market towns of Chard, Ilminster and Honiton are all within easy reach and the County Town of Taunton is some 8 miles to the North. Taunton offers a wide range of commercial, leisure and educational facilities with good choice of both independent and state schools, easy access to the M5 motorway and inter city rail link (London Paddington). The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 20 miles to the South at Lyme Regis with its renowned Cobb Harbour, specialist shops and leisure activities.
