Description

This remarkable detached former chapel presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with substantial renovation and income potential. The dwelling boasts four spacious bedrooms, which offer ample room for personalization and modernization, allowing you to create a residence that truly reflects your style. The property includes an integrated self-contained apartment or annexe, ideal for generating rental income, accommodating extended family members, or potentially merging with the main living space. With both the main chapel area and the flat interconnected on the first floor, there is flexibility in how the spaces can be utilized. Should privacy be preferred, this connection can be easily modified. The integral garage adds further promise as it appears conducive to conversion into additional living space—subject to necessary permissions—enhancing the property's value. The expansive plot also features a long driveway leading to a spacious parking area capable of hosting multiple vehicles alongside the double garage. Outside, the garden is designed for leisure and privacy, featuring mature trees, well-maintained hedgerows, and level lawns that invite outdoor enjoyment. A secluded sun terrace provides an intimate setting for relaxation. Additionally, a covered lean-to attached to the property offers potential for further development into an outdoor kitchen or extra living quarters. Located in the desirable village of Babcary, this property enjoys proximity to key transport links including the A37 and A303 routes. Local amenities include a popular gastro pub while nearby towns such as Castle Cary provide independent shopping options and mainline rail access to London Paddington. The surrounding area is rich with cultural attractions, including Bruton’s renowned Hauser and Wirth Art Gallery. While the property requires significant updating throughout, it presents an excellent canvas for renovation enthusiasts or investors keen on capitalizing on its potential in a sought-after locale. With no onward chain involved in the sale, this is a prime opportunity to make your mark on a distinct character home in Somerset.
