Manor Close, Templecombe, Somerset, BA8

A wonderful opportunity to acquire this three bedroom semi-detached house, which has been thoughtfully extended to the rear to provide a practical utility/boot room and a convenient downstairs WC.

Occupying a pleasant position within a no-through road on a small mature development, the property enjoys countryside views to the rear. The front door opens into a useful entrance porch, offering ample space for coats and boots. Beyond, a spacious sitting/dining room benefits from double-glazed windows to both the front and rear, allowing plenty of natural light throughout the day. From the dining area, a door leads into a well-appointed kitchen, fitted with an excellent range of units and providing direct access to the utility/boot room.

On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, with one bedroom enjoying views over the surrounding countryside.

Externally, the front garden is mainly laid to lawn, complemented by a resin driveway to the side providing off-road parking and access to the single integral garage. The garage offers potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, subject to the relevant building regulations. To the rear, the garden is of a manageable size and benefits from a sunny aspect, making it an ideal space for outdoor relaxation.

We highly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate this delightful home which is offered for sale with no onward chain.

Templecombe is situated in the beautiful Somerset countryside and is well placed for the many amenities on offer, including a mainline railway station (London Waterloo 2hrs), post office, welcoming community café and Co-op convenience store. There is the village Church, primary school and doctor's surgery with dispensary, and the village hall offers space for community clubs (bowls, mums & toddlers and there is a separate scouts hut), while the recreation ground has a tennis court and BMX track. A big attraction of Templecombe is its accessibility, being situated close to both the A303 and the A30 with fast routes east and west towards the motorway network. The mainline station is an obvious draw, while local comprehensive shopping, cultural and leisure amenities are found close by in the towns of Sherborne, Wincanton, Shaftesbury and Yeovil. To the south, the World Heritage Jurassic coast is within easy striking distance. The area is renowned for its schools, both independent and state and the surrounding countryside, much of which is an area of outstanding natural beauty, is a playground for sporting and leisure pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling, golf and field sports. There are village cricket clubs close by and sailing and other water sports are readily accessible on the south coast.
