Boards Lane, Croscombe, Wells, Somerset, BA5

A well-proportioned four bedroom detached bungalow desirably situated in an elevated position within the sought-after village of Croscombe. The property includes driveway parking, a garage and a delightful south-facing garden with a patio terrace enjoying a superb outlook. No onward chain. EPC rating C.


Upon entering the property from the driveway, a door opens into a double glazed conservatory which offers space for seating and an inner door through to the kitchen.

The kitchen has been tastefully refitted with a range of contemporary floor and wall units and integrated appliances including a double oven, a 4-ring gas hob and a slimline dishwasher. In addition, the kitchen offers space for an under-the-counter fridge, freezer and a washing machine. There is a double glazed window to the front of the kitchen and an opening through to an adjoining dining room.

The sitting room is located at the front of the property and enjoys a delightful southerly outlook across the village and the countryside beyond. This spacious reception room incorporates a brick fireplace and double glazed patio doors which open out to the terrace.

A glazed door then continues through to an inner hall which gives access to four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bedrooms are configured with two on each side of the bungalow (two with fitted wardrobes), with the master bedroom also enjoying the attractive outlook.

The family bathroom would benefit from modernisation, however, is particularly generous in size and currently presented with a corner bath, a shower cubicle, a low-level WC and a pedestal wash hand basin.

OUTSIDE
A driveway accessed from Boards Lane provides off-road parking for several vehicles at the front of the property, part of which is secured by a wooden five-bar gate. Within the parking area is a detached garage, which has light, power and an ‘up and over’ door. Gated side access to the side then leads through to the south-facing rear garden. Directly behind the bungalow is a full width patio terrace (in need of some repair in places), currently with a timber storage shed. Stone steps then lead down to the main area of the garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with established shrub borders. Enclosed to all sides by fencing and hedging, the garden has the advantage of sunshine throughout the day and, of course, impressive views.

Croscombe is located three miles east of Wells and is one of the area's most favoured villages. Local facilities include a popular public house which sells day-to-day groceries, a village hall, a primary school and a church. The City of Wells is renowned for its beautiful architecture, including the Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace. England's smallest city, Wells contains many clubs and societies for those wishing to get involved in the thriving local community. There are excellent shopping facilities, a bustling High Street with both independent and well-known retailers, as well as various major supermarkets, including Waitrose. Wells also benefits from a busy, twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square. In addition, there is a large bus/coach station providing links to other parts of the West Country. Bristol and Bath are readily accessible, as is Castle Cary to the south which has the nearest mainline train station to London Paddington (approx. 1 hour 40 mins).

There are excellent schooling options, both state and independent, in and around the area. The property is conveniently located within easy travelling distance of Wells Blue School, the local secondary school.
