Description

The Close, Prestleigh Road, Evercreech, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, BA4 6LW

Offers are invited in the region of £550,000.

Set on the outskirts of the desirable village of Evercreech, this well-presented three-bedroom chalet bungalow occupies a generous plot and offers flexible accommodation.

Accommodation
The Close is a spacious three-bedroom chalet bungalow offering ample living accommodation, set within a plot of approximately 0.6 acres with significant potential to extend, subject to the usual consents. 

Upon entering through the front door, a hallway provides access to all ground floor living accommodation, along with stairs rising to the first floor. Since purchasing the property, the current owners have carried out cosmetic improvements throughout.

The living room is carpeted and benefits from a generous front-facing bay window that allows plenty of natural light to flow in, while a central fireplace keeps the room feeling comfortable and inviting.

Formerly used as a dining room but now serving as a home office/snug, there is a further well-proportioned reception room. Fitted with carpets and featuring a media wall with integrated fireplace, the space is flexible and easily adapted to suit individual needs. Double doors lead through to the conservatory, while an open archway connects directly with the kitchen.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, complemented by a tiled splashback and electric hob with extractor above. A window overlooks the rear garden, while a breakfast bar provides additional workspace and storage. Further features include a head-height oven and doors leading through to the utility room and back into the hallway.

The utility room is a practical and welcome addition, fitted with a window and door opening to the rear of the property. There is space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge freezer, keeping everyday appliances neatly out of the main living areas.

Also located on the ground floor is a bathroom comprising a bath and separate shower cubicle, tiled flooring, WC and wash hand basin set within vanity units, along with a radiator and window for ventilation. Completing the ground floor accommodation is an under-stairs airing cupboard and a separate cloakroom fitted with a WC.

To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms and a further single room. The principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe, dressing area and an en suite bathroom fitted with a shower, WC and wash hand basin.
The second double bedroom, also carpeted, features a large built-in wardrobe and enjoys views over open countryside. Bedroom three, currently used as a home office, is fitted with carpets and provides access to the attic.

Outside
Outside, the property sits within a generous plot offering clear potential for extension, further development or reworking into landscaped gardens, subject to the usual consents. A long, gated driveway provides ample off-road parking.
There are a range of outbuildings including a workshop, carport and multiple storage rooms and sheds, all benefitting from power and lighting. Beyond the outbuildings lies a large, level garden enjoying far-reaching views across open countryside and adjoining farmland.

About the area
Evercreech is pleasantly situated in beautiful countryside away from but within easy reach of major roads. It is a lively village with a good range of amenities including a fine church, primary school, surgery, pharmacy, pub, store & post office, community art studio, hairdressers and bakery. A wide range of social, sporting and cultural organisations reflects its thriving community spirit. 

The facilities and attractions of the nearby towns of Bruton, Castle Cary, Wells and Glastonbury including The Newt and Hauser and Wirth Gallery are all within a short drive. All major supermarkets including Waitrose in Wells are easily accessible at Shepton Mallet, Wells and Wincanton.

Bath, Bristol and Yeovil are within commuting distance and the A303 is a few miles south via the A37. Within 5 miles at Castle Cary is a main line station to London Paddington (100 minutes).

P.S. 
A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help. 
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes, we can negotiate an agreement that suits both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes, a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
Call us for information on any of these points.
