This spacious five-bedroom family home occupies a secluded plot at the head of a private no-through road less than one mile from the centre of Chard and all of its amenities.

The handsome detached house dates back to the 1950s and benefits from well-proportioned and spacious rooms, and the flexibility to change the living arrangement.

On the ground floor, there is an attractive sitting room with original parquet flooring, an ornate fireplace and a dual aspect that enables the space to be filled with natural light. The kitchen/dining room is equally pleasant and features shaker-style units, contrasting dark work surfaces and plenty of space for appliances. This flows through to the cosy family room and then onto a bright conservatory which overlooks the garden.

On the first floor, there are four large and airy double bedrooms with stripped floorboards, a study or a fifth single bedroom and a stylish family bathroom.

The house comes with the potential to create a self-contained annexe, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, the well-established garden is abundant with mature shrubs and trees that surround a lawn and a seating area. There is a south-facing terrace at the front of the house which is a superb spot to soak up the sun when the weather is fine. A further terrace sits at the side of the house along with an ornamental pond and various fruit trees.

At the front, the wide driveway provides ample space for parking and gives access to a double garage.
