Honeyhurst Lane, Rodney Stoke, Somerset, BS27

A unique opportunity to purchase a detached bungalow set in 3.40 acres with a double garage, extensive parking and a large detached outbuilding (2613 sq.ft.) idyllically situated on the south-western outskirts of Rodney Stoke. EPC rating E.


A door to the front of the bungalow opens into an entrance porch, which has a double glazed window to the side and an inner door through to the hall. To the left of the hall is the dual-aspect master bedroom, which leads through to an en-suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms, both with double glazed windows to the rear.

The sitting/dining room is located at the front of the bungalow and has a set of sliding doors opening outside. Adjoining the sitting/dining room is the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units. Within the kitchen, there is an integrated electric oven, an electric hob with an extractor over, plumbing and space for a dishwasher and washing machine, plus a wall-mounted Worcester boiler for the LPG-fired central heating.

Completing the accommodation is a further reception room/bedroom, accessed from the kitchen, which is well-proportioned, has external access to the rear and also continues into a second bathroom. The property would benefit from some updating works, including both bathrooms and offers scope for improvement.

OUTSIDE
Double metal gates from Honeyhurst Lane open into a privately owned driveway which leads down to the property and outbuilding (approx. 135m from gates). There is extensive off-road parking available for numerous vehicles at the front and the side of the outbuilding. A further set of gates then opens into an enclosed section of parking in front of the bungalow, leading to a detached double garage. The garage has two ‘up and over’ doors, light, power and a personal door to the side.

The outbuilding, located to the north of the bungalow, is particularly large in size (2613 sq.ft.) and provides a purchaser with a considerable opportunity for change (subject to gaining any necessary consents). Currently set up as a 60’7’’ x 29’6’’ open barn, with three to four bays providing superb parking, ideal for tractors, campervans etc. Adjoining, is an additional enclosed outbuilding/workshop, measuring 36’ x 29’6’’, with light, three windows to the front and double doors to the side.

Occupying a total plot of 3.40 acres, the property includes a single, level enclosure of land to the west of the bungalow and outbuilding, which measures approx. 2.78 acres. The land benefits from gated vehicular access from the aforementioned driveway. Very pleasant rural views can be enjoyed from the land to the north and south, taking in the Mendip Hills and neighbouring countryside.
