Combining the best of both worlds, this spacious bungalow enjoys a tranquil setting with generous gardens, while providing the convenience of town living and easy access to the scenic nature reserve just a short stroll away.

The Property - Significantly enhanced by the current owner, including recent redecorations, a new conservatory, and electric roller-shutter garage doors, this spacious detached bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to enjoy low-maintenance, single-level living in a private, tucked-away location. Positioned on arguably the finest plot in the cul-de-sac, the property occupies just under a fifth of an acre, with gardens that wrap around the side and rear, offering a peaceful retreat for keen gardeners. Situated on the edge of town, the bungalow is conveniently close to local amenities, yet still provides easy access to scenic walks and nature, with a nearby reservoir and nature reserve. For those looking to embrace retirement life, the stunning Jurassic Coast is only a short drive away, offering the perfect seaside escape.

Accommodation - A convenient storm porch leads into a spacious hallway, offering plenty of storage with a coat cupboard, a linen cupboard, and an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and shelving. To one side, a bright and airy living room flows through an archway into a separate formal dining area, which in turn opens via sliding double-glazed doors into a stunning UPVC conservatory overlooking the attractive gardens.

The generous kitchen/breakfast room provides ample space for informal dining and socialising. It features a range of modern fitted units with space for a dishwasher or washing machine, a gas or electric cooker, and an alcove for a freestanding fridge-freezer. An adjoining utility room, complete with a useful second sink unit, leads out to the rear garden—ideal for laundry days. The utility also houses the gas boiler and plumbing for a washing machine or tumble dryer.

There are three spacious double bedrooms and a good size shower room serving them, while the master bedroom also benefits from a full en-suite bathroom. The two largest bedrooms enjoy particularly pleasant views over the gardens at the rear.

Outside - A driveway offers ample parking and leads to the adjoining double garage, which features two electric, remote-controlled roller shutter doors for added convenience. A rear door from the garage provides direct access to the gardens. The gardens extend mainly to the rear and side of the property and are thoughtfully landscaped with lawns, rockery, patio areas, and raised beds, complemented by ornamental trees and shrubs such as birch, holly, and other evergreens. An ornamental pond adds a charming focal point, and the gardens are fully enclosed with fencing, ensuring privacy and security.

Situation - This area of South Somerset lies within easy reach of the lovely Jurassic coastline, with historic seaside towns such as Lyme Regis within 30 minutes’ drive. Excellent road links such as the A30 and A358 (which in turn connects to the M5 and A303). Chard has plenty to offer including a well-respected Independent school, recently opened leisure centre / indoor swimming pool, high street banks, independent shops, three supermarkets and B&Q store. The local reservoir and nature reserve lies withing walking distance of the property, popular with dog-walkers and nature lovers and perfect for those who want a slice of the countryside on their doorstep, alongside the convenience of town.
