North Cheriton, Somerset, BA8

Hill View Bungalow is an individual two/three bedroom detached bungalow situated in a delightful village location with far reaching views over adjoining fields. The property is set within just over half an acre of mature gardens and offers versatile living accommodation with huge potential to extend. Although recently lapsed, the current owner obtained planning permission to create a large family house, plans of which can be viewed on the South Somerset District website REF 21/03083/Hou.

The front door opens to a spacious entrance hall. Straight ahead is a light and airy sitting room with a feature bay window and an original open fireplace. The dining room is of a generous size and with a minor alteration could easily provide a third bedroom. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and benefits from a large walk-in larder. Both bedrooms are good size doubles with the principle bedroom having the convenience of an en-suite cloakroom. Completing the living accommodation is the family bathroom.

Moving outside, a driveway provides off road parking and leads to a single garage. A covered pathway between the garage and bungalow provides sheltered access to the utility room (9'1" x 6'1"), store room, storage cupboard and kitchen. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn fronted by a mature hedge. The rear and side gardens are a particular highlight due to their wonderful views and generous size ideal for families and keen gardeners.

A unique and rare find, this is the first time the property has been offered for sale since the current owners grandfather built the property approximately 75 years ago. Properties like this are hard to find so an early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid missing out on being the next owner.

LOCATION: North Cheriton is a popular village in beautiful countryside on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, lying south of the A303, a couple of miles south west of the small, historic market town of Wincanton and within easy reach of Bruton, Castle Cary and Sherborne. A wide range of commercial, cultural, sporting facilities and amenities are on offer in the surrounding area, with a good choice of excellent state and independent schools. North Cheriton has a church, and there are country pubs and restaurants to be found in neighbouring villages. There is easy access to the A303 (London/ Exeter) just over a mile away and two mainline rail links to London are within a short drive. The first runs from Templecombe to Waterloo and the second from Castle Cary to Paddington.
