An impressive detached four-bedroom family home, offering a spacious and versatile living accommodation, conveniently positioned close to an excellent selection of local amenities.
Inside
Immediately, you are welcomed by a bright, spacious entrance, creating an inviting first impression. From the hallway, you can access the dining room, second reception room, kitchen and downstairs WC.
Positioned to the left of the hallway is the attractive dining room, complete with an electric fireplace and double doors into the sitting room, making it a brilliantly sociable space.
To the rear of the property is the extended sitting room, with generous floor area to provide plenty of space for relaxing and hosting guests. Enhanced by a skylight and double doors to the garden, this room is flooded with natural lighting.
The kitchen has a great range of storage, and a private outlook to the garden through its large windows. It is fitted with a double AEG oven, gas hob, Bosch dishwasher, and a practical breakfast bar, offering a functional layout for day-to-day living.
Leading from the kitchen, the utility room provides excellent additional storage, featuring a second sink, a rear door to the garden, and internal entry to the garage. The garage is equipped with both lighting and power, making it suitable for storage or workshop use.
Completing the ground floor is a versatile reception room, perfectly suited as a snug, children's playroom, home office, or hobby room, depending on your preferences. As this room is adjoining the kitchen, this room offers excellent scope for reconfiguration, with the potential to create a substantial open-plan kitchen/ dining area, subject to any necessary consents.
Upstairs:
On the first floor, the property offers four wonderfully sized bedrooms. Three are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate king-size beds, while the fourth is a well-proportioned double bedroom.
The spacious principal bedroom has ample floor space, and benefits from its own en-suite shower room; comprising a shower enclosure, wash hand basin, and WC.
To the left of the property is the second bedroom. This room is an incredible space, with dual-aspect windows creating an amazingly bright area.
The family bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms, and is fitted with a bath incorporating an overhead shower. Both the family bathroom and the en-suite enjoy the added comfort of underfloor heating.
Outside
The property sits close to Chard town centre; within walking distance to supermarkets, schools, many independent shops and great transport links to Axminster, Yeovil, Exeter, or to the beach (12.3 miles to Lyme Regis).
From the utility room and the sitting room, is the incredibly private rear garden. The property comes with a hot tub and outdoor Spanish BBQ, ideal for alfresco dining and hosting. The property also benefits from off-road parking for multiple vehicles, as well as a garage.
Matilda loves: 'How spacious and bright every room is within the property. It’s within walking distance to the town centre and to schools, making it perfect for families.’
