Walnut Tree Close, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

Set within a peaceful cul-de-sac within walking distance of the historic city of Wells, this deceptively spacious detached three bedroom chalet bungalow style home offers a wonderful combination of flexible accommodation, generous outdoor space and exciting potential. With a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, further bedrooms upstairs and a sunny south-west-facing wrap-around garden, this is a home that can adapt to different stages of life. The property, which would benefit from some cosmetic updating, has a conservatory, enclosed southwest facing rear gardens and two private parking spaces. Offered to the market with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

The spacious, welcoming kitchen features a range of cabinets with stainless steel sink and space for a washing machine, fridge freezer and free-standing cooker. There is space for a dining table to six to eight people. The kitchen leads into the hallway with stairs to the first floor and understairs storage. Leading off the hall is the bathroom which comprises a bath with shower overhead, WC and vanity wash basin. Across the hall is an airy bedroom, which has direct step-free access to the garden. Along hall is the bright sitting room which is a good size and features a large alcove and laminate floor, along with a door and window looking out over the southwest facing garden. The sitting room leads through a half-glazed door opens to the conservatory. This warm, bright space is currently presented as a dining room but also offers space for comfortable seating and has a lovely outlook over the private southwest facing rear garden along with a door opening out to a small, paved area with steps leading down to the garden.

From the hall stairs rise to the first floor and two double bedrooms. Both bedrooms are a good size with built-in cupboards with aspects to the front and rear of the house.

OUTSIDE

To the front of the property is a paved path leading to the front door and to a pedestrian gate at the side of the property - leading to the rear garden. The front garden has a wide border, currently laid to gravel for ease of maintenance and enclosed by mature hedging. To the side is a small border and a pergola, with climbing plants, leading to the two parking spaces at the side of the house. The wrap -around rear garden mainly faces southwest and features a paved patio - ideal for outside furniture and entertaining with steps leading up to the sitting room and conservatory. Beyond the patio is a circular gravel path with central flower bed and borders of mature shrubs, trees, roses and flowering plants. To one side of the house is a further gravelled area leading to a greenhouse. On the other side of the house is a wide planted border, a path, an outside tap and a shed neatly tucked away to one side. Adjacent to the shed is a pedestrian gate opening to the front garden.
