Description

This charming 3-bedroom detached home, built in 1930, is situated on the northern outskirts of Chard, presenting a rare investment opportunity with significant potential for further enhancement. The property currently rests on an impressive plot of nearly a quarter acre, which is becoming increasingly hard to find in today's market. Recently extended, the house now features a spacious kitchen/family room that is designed to take advantage of its elevated position and picturesque views towards Windwhistle Hill, aided by two sets of bi-fold doors that draw the outdoor scenery inside. Notably, planning permission has been approved for an ambitious expansion to create five bedrooms along with a double garage, offering further scope for personalisation and increased value (planning reference: 15/05076/FUL). While there are some updates like double glazing from August 2019 and underfloor heating in the kitchen area, various aspects are ripe for modernisation and refinement to meet contemporary standards. The garden space also provides ample opportunity to enhance its aesthetic appeal or utility functions. Situated just under a mile from Chard's amenities and close to major transport links including Taunton and the Jurassic Coast, this property offers both tranquility and accessibility—a promising blend for any renovation enthusiast or investor looking to make their mark on a period home.
