Description

Nestled on a tranquil residential street, this three-bedroom link-detached house presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Positioned at the village's edge, the property benefits from immediate access to scenic countryside walks, adding to its charm. The expansive layout of this home offers considerable versatility, rivaling that of many four-bedroom properties. The generous sitting room spans the width of the house and features French doors that open onto a raised terrace—ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The kitchen, while functional, provides ample space for potential transformation into a modern open-plan kitchen/diner by removing the internal wall (subject to necessary building regulations), allowing for a more contemporary living experience. Upstairs reveals three sizeable bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is spacious enough to accommodate updates, offering the possibility of incorporating a separate shower unit to enhance functionality. The rear garden is a significant asset, complete with an elevated terrace, a lush lawn area, and a pleasantly shaded pergola seating space enclosed by mature hedging—perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat or entertaining guests. Additionally, the property includes a large single garage with utility space and cloakroom access. Conveniently located near Templecombe's amenities—including a mainline railway station offering quick connections to London Waterloo (approximately 2 hours)—this home combines rural tranquility with accessibility. Local resources include essential shops, community facilities like the village hall and recreation grounds, as well as schools known for their quality education. With close proximity to major roads such as the A303 and A30 facilitating easy travel across the region, this property not only serves as an inviting family home but also presents significant renovation potential in an attractive location known for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities. For those interested in development possibilities, there is outline planning permission available for land adjacent to the property (reference: 22/03560/OUT). This factor further emphasizes its investment appeal in an increasingly desirable area.
