Set on the edge of the village of Wookey Hole with wonderful far reaching views is this deceptively spacious two bedroom detached chalet bungalow.  The property sits comfortably in the plot with attractive gardens to the front and rear and benefits from a rear balcony offering marvellous views over the gardens towards the Mendip Hills.

Upon entering is a porch with space for coats and shoes and a door opening into the hall.  The hall leads to all rooms and features a parquet floor and a slim, open tread staircase leading to the first floor.  The sitting room sits at the front of the property with plenty of space for comfortable seating and a large bay window with views over the front garden.  Across the hall is the kitchen/breakfast room with a range of cupboards with solid pine doors and drawer fronts, tiled work tops, built-in eye level oven and ceramic hob along with space and plumbing for a washing machine. To the front is a large picture window, with views over the garden and space in front for a breakfast table to seat four people comfortably. From the kitchen a wide archway leads through to the dining room with feature wall clad with pine, French doors leading out to the rear garden space for a dining table to seat six to eight people, and a door leading out to the hall.  At the far end of the hall, glazed doors opens into the triple aspect garden room with tiled floor and pine clad walls, this versatile space is currently used for storage but could also be used as a study, playroom or further seating area and has French doors opening out to the garden.

The first of the double bedrooms is at the rear of the property and benefits from a coved ceiling and a large window with views over the rear garden to the Mendip Hills in the distance.  Adjacent is the family bathroom which comprises; a bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.   From the hall the staircase leads up to the open plan bedroom with ensuite shower room.  The double bedroom benefits from a triple aspect with a Velux window offering far reaching views to the front, a dormer window offering panoramic views over the garden towards the Mendip Hills, along with a window to the side.  The bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, eaves storage spaces (one housing the wall mounted boiler), and plenty of space for a double bed and additional bedroom furniture. To one side is the well-appointed ensuite shower room with vanity basin, WC, shower enclosure and modern towel radiator.    A glazed door opens to a large balcony with wrought iron railings.  This wonderful space once again benefits from marvellous views of both the garden and Mendip Hills beyond.  There is plenty of space for outdoor furniture and the ideal spot to sit and soak up the view.
