Church Lane, Chilton Polden

A detached four-bedroom bungalow set on a generous corner plot in the popular Somerset village of Chilton Polden. This versatile property offers spacious and flexible accommodation, ideal for families or buyers seeking a peaceful country lifestyle. Enjoying a quiet village location, the property benefits from planning permission for a single-storey extension, providing excellent potential to further enhance the living space. The home features a south-facing front garden, attractive rear garden, and views towards the Mendip Hills.

Accommodation
You are welcomed into the property via a uPVC porch, a good-sized area that also serves as a sunroom, perfect for enjoying the south-facing front garden and the afternoon sunshine. From here, a door opens into a spacious entrance hall with handy under stairs storage, ideal for coats and shoes, and doors leading to all ground floor rooms. The sitting/dining room is an impressive triple-aspect space, filled with natural light from large picture windows to the front and rear. The rear outlook takes in the beautiful Mendip Hills in the distance, creating a living picture. A multi-fuel burner forms a cosy focal point, perfect for winter evenings, while the dining area easily accommodates a family table and chairs, an excellent space for entertaining and social gatherings. A door from the dining area leads through to a corridor with a useful airing cupboard, and access to the kitchen. While the kitchen would benefit from updating, it offers an excellent footprint, fitted with a range of wall, base, and drawer units, generous worktop space, and room for freestanding appliances including a cooker, fridge/freezer, and under-counter appliances. Here a rear door provides access to the garden. Two double bedrooms are located on the ground floor: a well-proportioned double to the front with fitted wardrobe space and ample room for additional furniture, and a further double overlooking the rear garden. Completing the ground floor is a handy WC.

Stairs rise to a spacious first-floor landing, which provides access to two further bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is a generous double with a built-in wardrobe and walk-in access to eaves storage, while the second room works perfectly as a single, study, home office or nursery. Both rooms enjoy far-reaching views over rooftops toward the Mendip Hills. The stylish modern family bathroom is beautifully fitted with a corner shower enclosure, vanity unit with basin and storage, WC, and bath, along with two heated towel rails and an airing cupboard. The landing also provides further eaves storage and a large storage cupboard.

Outside
The rear garden is a real highlight — a generous, private space mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by established shrubs and colourful planting that brings year-round interest. A mature apple tree adds character and a lovely spot of shade, while the greenhouse is perfect for anyone who enjoys growing their own fruit and vegetables. There’s also pedestrian access to the garage and a side gate leading to the front. It’s an ideal garden for families, keen gardeners, or simply for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

The south-facing front garden features a large lawn bordered by well-stocked flower beds, mature shrubs, and established trees, creating a colourful and welcoming approach. Retained by a natural stone wall, the garden is complemented by a tandem driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, leading up to the garage which is fitted with an up and over door power and light.
