This detached four-bedroom house, originally a pair of cottages from the late 19th century, presents a unique opportunity for buyers interested in renovation or redevelopment. Set within approximately seven acres of grounds, the property boasts significant potential to extend or refurbish, allowing for the creation of a custom family home that leverages its impressive location near Chard Reservoir Nature Reserve.
Although the home has not changed ownership in nearly sixty years, it retains classic features with rendered elevations and a tiled roof. The existing layout includes a spacious triple-aspect sitting room, a study, a kitchen, four bedrooms, and a bathroom. This configuration offers plenty of space to reimagine the interior design according to modern preferences while maintaining its historical charm.
On the practical side, high-speed ultrafast broadband is available at the property, making it ideal for remote working or tech-savvy households. The location also benefits from low flooding risk in the area and easy access to amenities—Chard town center is just 0.75 miles away, providing supermarkets and local shops. Furthermore, Taunton is only 14 miles to the north with convenient access to the M5 motorway, perfect for commuters.
The grounds themselves are particularly appealing; they feature well-maintained gardens surrounding the house and include pastureland and woodland that's accessible via an independent road entrance—once part of an old railway line. There's also ample parking available alongside a substantial block-built workshop for additional storage needs.
If you're seeking a project with significant investment potential in an attractive location that combines tranquility with accessibility to urban conveniences, this property should not be overlooked. For those interested in expansion possibilities, there is also an option to negotiate separately for an additional paddock of 1.06 acres.
