South Street, South Petherton

Spacious enough for a family, yet practical enough for those downsizing, this versatile chalet bungalow offers the choice of single-level or two-storey living and enjoys a beautiful setting with countryside views.

The Property - Having undergone extensions, alterations, and enhancements over the years, this charming chalet bungalow offers much more than meets the eye. It provides generously proportioned accommodation across two floors, with the flexibility to live entirely on the ground floor if desired. The main living areas are positioned at the rear, taking full advantage of views over the garden and surrounding fields. Guests and visiting family will enjoy the spacious first-floor bedrooms, each served by its own shower room. Ideal for families seeking a home in this highly desirable village, or for those looking to downsize without compromising on space, this property truly combines practicality with comfort.

Accommodation - The spacious and inviting hall creates a welcoming first impression, featuring an extensive use of oak, including oak-effect flooring, solid doors, and stairway details. Beneath the stairs, a practical downstairs cloakroom offers additional fitted storage. At the front of the home, a generously sized optional fourth bedroom currently serves as a study. Adjacent lies a large master suite, complete with fitted wardrobes with sliding doors and a generous en suite bathroom, tastefully finished with neutral tiles and modern cabinetry. The en suite includes both a panelled bath and a separate shower.

From the hall, the well-proportioned sitting room benefits from abundant natural light through French doors that open onto the patio, highlighting the lovely rear outlook. A sleek, contemporary gas fire is flush-mounted to the wall, providing a cosy ambiance without occupying valuable space.

Across the hall, the spacious dual-aspect kitchen is fitted with modern cream-colored units and work surfaces that incorporate a large five-burner gas hob, double electric ovens, and a dishwasher. There is also space for a freestanding fridge freezer. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a generous separate dining area, and bi-fold doors lead to a substantial garden room, spacious enough to function as an additional sitting area all year round. A side hall off the dining room provides convenient access to the garage and utility area, with a door to the front driveway ideal for unloading shopping. The utility room also opens onto the garden, offering extra storage and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms feature a range of built-in wardrobes and under-eaves storage, with lovely views to the rear. Both bedrooms are served by a modern shower room, perfect for guests or older children, and also versatile enough to serve as principal bedrooms if a dependant relative occupies the ground-floor suite.

Outside - The property is positioned near the centre of its grounds, with an attractive frontage that offers ample block-paved driveway parking, turning space, and access to the attached single garage. An additional gravelled section provides further parking if required. The frontage is enclosed by a stone wall and mature shrubs, enhancing its charm within the pretty street scene.

To the south side, there is a surprisingly generous area laid to paving and gravel but currently under-utilised and offering lots of potential. This area is enclosed by timber fencing with gated access to the front driveway, and therefore screened from view. This versatile space could be used for storage or adapted for raised beds and homegrown planting.

At the rear, the garden enjoys a south and west aspect with far-reaching views over open countryside. A spacious patio provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the lawn—bordered with shrubs and roses—leads to a charming seating area beneath a pergola, ideally positioned to capture the evening sun. A practical outdoor tap is also located at the back of the house.
