Outwood, West Lyng, Taunton

A deceptively spacious detached chalet bungalow, currently configured to provide a self-contained annexe, standing in large gardens and grounds of about 2 acres with garaging, long driveway providing ample parking and enjoying a semi-rural location in this small hamlet, close to the Bridgwater and Taunton canal.

The property
Originally comprising a detached bungalow this property has been substantially extended so that it now provides first floor accommodation and a 'wing' has been added which can be utilised as an annexe if so required. The property provides great flexibility as to use and can be occupied as one large property with 5 bedrooms and 2 reception rooms, or subdivided to provide a two-storey 3 bedroom home and single-storey 2 bedroom annexe.  The property is well presented, has oil-fired central heating and is double glazed.  The property stands within gardens and grounds extending to about 2 acres and is offered with a good number of outbuildings.

Main property
If utilised as 2 units of accommodation the main property is approached via a conservatory, which leads to the kitchen/dining room.  Doors provide access to the 'annexe wing' and also to a hallway with access to the ground floor rooms and a staircase providing access to the 2 first floor bedrooms.  On the  ground floor can be found a sitting room with double doors opening to the garden.  There is also a bedroom which can be utilised as a study and a shower room.  On the first floor are 2 bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and the other has an en suite cloakroom.

The annexe
This can have its own separate access via a sun room with lovely views over the garden.  This opens to the kitchen/dining room, which enjoys a pleasant double aspect.  The sitting room also overlooks the garden and double doors open to the terrace.  There are 2 double bedrooms and a shower room. 

Outside
The property can be approached via 2 driveways.  Either from the main A361 or the village road into Outwood.  A long driveway extends to about 180m and is gated at either end.  The gardens lie mainly to the front of the property and include a large expanse of lawn with numerous trees and approached directly from the property is a large paved terrace.  Situated at the end of the garden is a timber garden shed/garage.  Situated to the side of the property can be found a productive vegetable garden.  To the rear of the property is a further area of paving and a pathway gives access to another timber framed garage.  Rising up behind the property is a further grassed area with numerous trees and includes a Second World War Pillbox, believed to have been installed to protect the adjacent railway line. The property enjoys a good deal of privacy and in all the grounds extend to about 2 acres.
