Description

Nestled in a well-regarded village, this three-bedroom chalet-style bungalow presents an appealing opportunity for renovation and investment. The property is conveniently located within walking distance to a mainline railway station, making it an excellent prospect for commuters, as well as being close to essential amenities like a Co-op convenience store. The spacious layout includes a ground floor that primarily accommodates everyday living spaces, featuring a welcoming entrance hall and a bright sitting room characterized by a bow window that invites natural light. Two generously sized double bedrooms on this level contribute to the overall comfort of the home, along with a functional kitchen that overlooks the tranquil rear garden. A wet room provides practical facilities and ensures ease of access. A standout aspect of this property is the thoughtfully designed loft conversion which adds significant value. This additional space can serve multiple purposes, such as an inviting guest suite, primary bedroom, or hobby area—offering flexibility for various lifestyles. Key features include oil-fired central heating and double-glazed windows that enhance insulation and energy efficiency, alongside low-maintenance UPVC fascias and soffits. The exterior boasts a driveway leading to a single garage, providing off-road parking and convenient access to the enclosed rear garden. This private outdoor space enjoys plenty of sunlight and presents opportunities for landscaping or gardening projects. While the interior would benefit from updates to align with modern tastes, this represents an advantageous chance for new owners to customize their environment. The bungalow's potential for improvement is further heightened by its prime location in Templecombe—a community surrounded by picturesque Somerset countryside, with easy access to both major roadways (A303 and A30) and local towns like Sherborne and Wincanton. The village itself offers essential services such as a post office, café, primary school, doctor's surgery with dispensary, and recreational facilities including community clubs and sports amenities. Furthermore, the proximity to the World Heritage Jurassic coast enhances its desirability for leisure activities such as walking, riding, cycling, and water sports. In summary, this bungalow not only promises comfortable living but also represents an excellent investment opportunity in a sought-after location with substantial renovation potential.
