Merryfield, Mark, Highbridge, TA9

Extensive five-bedroom bungalow, beautifully presented, with versatile accommodation to adapt to a multitude of needs, surrounded by mature level gardens, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, in the heart of Mark village.

This extraordinary property has been lovingly maintained and is finished throughout in a modern, neutral colour palette, creating an ideal home for anyone wanting to move in, unpack and get on with life. Alternatively, for someone excited by a project, the property could be reconfigured to create fewer rooms and open-plan living spaces; or it could easily be divided up to provide two independent homes in one, each with its own living space, kitchen, bedrooms and front door.

The two sitting rooms are situated at opposite ends of the bungalow, each with French doors to garden conservatories, and both rooms have cosy, log burning stoves for those cooler days. The open-plan kitchen/dining room is fitted with an attractive range of modern wall and base units with contrasting wood-effect work surfaces and hard-wearing luxury vinyl flooring. An archway leads through into the dining area where there is plenty of space for a dining table and there are matching kitchen units cleverly designed to create the look of a dresser and provide practical storage. Further cupboards and space for appliances are found in the large utility and laundry room, leaving the kitchen free of clutter.

Of the five-double bedrooms, two are currently used as an office and a snug. The three other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and the principal bedroom also benefits from an ensuite shower room. With two bathrooms (with bath and shower) and a shower room this property can easily accommodate a large family.

Outside, the extended level garden which wraps around the property on two sides has been lovingly landscaped with areas of lawn, paved patio, shingle and paved pathways, and a pond all framed by mature flower beds trees and shrubs. The lovely kitchen garden is a practical and productive space with two greenhouses and a shed. An extensive driveway at the front of the property provides parking for numerous vehicles and access to a double garage.
