Chapel Allerton, Axbridge, BS26

In green and leafy, tranquil surroundings, this spacious four-bedroom bungalow with large reception rooms, kitchen with Aga, and an adjacent double garage with workshops, is situated on an extensive, level plot with gardens front and back, on the edge of the village.

Built in the 1960s and extended in the ‘70s to create a more versatile and extensive living space, Tynings offers a great opportunity for anyone excited by an interior makeover project, or for someone who enjoys remodelling, extending and converting. The bungalow, with its double garage, store/workshop and WC, span the width of the plot and are situated within mature, level gardens on both sides. At the front, a driveway runs between level lawns to the garage. At the rear, a larger area of garden, mainly laid to lawn, stretches to the lane providing ample space for a keen gardener or for an active family.

Inside, warm wooden floors run through the entrance hall and the second reception room, which is currently used as a home gym and yoga studio. The room is flooded with natural light from windows on two sides and the room is characterised by its exposed stonework and stripped wood floor. The main sitting room benefits from glass sliding doors which open out to the front garden, and there is a log burning stove inset within a feature fireplace with exposed stone and wood surround. Across the rear of the bungalow the kitchen looks out over the back garden with a door to the covered side passage where there is access to the garage and workshops. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with an eye-catching, deep red Aga and there is plenty of space for a kitchen table, other furniture and appliances.

The versatile nature of this property means that the further four rooms, three of which are currently designated as bedrooms and one as a sewing room, could offer potential for perhaps a home office, art studio or children’s playroom. The bungalow benefits from a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom with WC.
