Description

This former farmhouse, located in a picturesque area with expansive country views, presents a substantial opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on a generous plot, the property boasts three bedrooms along with extensive outbuildings that hold significant potential for various uses. The main structure is built from brick under a tiled roof and features two spacious reception rooms with dual aspects showcasing lovely vistas, a kitchen also benefiting from great views, and a cloakroom. Upstairs, you'll find two large double bedrooms alongside a single room and a family bathroom. While equipped with UPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating, there's ample opportunity to enhance this property by tailoring it to modern tastes and needs. Accessed via double gates from the public highway, the wide concrete yard provides an inviting entry to the substantial outbuildings that include three former loose boxes and two sizable workshops/stores with lighting and power already connected. The primarily lawned garden is fully enclosed, offering privacy and space for outdoor activities. The property is conveniently positioned just north of Chard, which is approximately 2 miles from the town center. Chard offers an array of amenities including supermarkets, local shops, educational facilities, and leisure options. Additionally, you are within easy reach of both the A303 and M5 motorways as well as mainline rail services from nearby Crewkerne and Taunton. For those seeking coastal adventures, Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast is approximately 14 miles away. Noteworthy details include access to ultrafast broadband through FTTP technology with exceptional speeds available in the area. The flood risk is low according to local assessments, making this an attractive proposition for families or investors looking to capitalize on renovation potential.
