Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached stone house is situated on a generous corner plot in the sought-after town of Templecombe. With its period charm and practical layout, this property offers numerous opportunities for renovation and enhancement, including an additional plot of land that has planning permission for a two-bedroom detached dwelling with a garage. Entering the home, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway that features wooden flooring and views into the rear garden. The living room, characterized by its open fireplace and natural light from the French doors that open to the front garden, provides a cozy atmosphere. The kitchen/dining area stands out with its vaulted ceiling and Velux windows, which ensure ample natural light. Here, you will find wood-effect shaker-style cabinetry and enough space for essential appliances. The extension showcases an original stone wall, adding a rustic touch to the dining space. A convenient downstairs cloakroom adds to the practicality of the ground floor. On the first floor, the layout is functional with well-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes fitted storage solutions and a feature fireplace, while the second bedroom also accommodates double bed arrangements. The third bedroom overlooks the rear garden and offers additional fitted storage. A family bathroom completes this level, equipped with essential amenities. Outside, there is off-road parking for two vehicles on gravelled grounds neatly integrated into the lawn. The enclosed rear garden presents various landscaping possibilities with paved areas and rockery beds poised for transformation into a tranquil retreat. An attached stone outbuilding with electricity provides versatile space suitable for projects or hobbies. The property's investment potential is significantly enhanced by the additional plot of land at the end of the garden that holds full planning permission for constructing a two-bedroom detached dwelling complete with a garage—an attractive prospect for developers or homeowners seeking expansion options. Located in Templecombe, this property benefits from access to local amenities such as shops, community services, schools, and recreational facilities. Its proximity to major transport routes like the A303 enhances commuting convenience while placing it within reach of larger towns like Sherborne and Yeovil for more extensive shopping and leisure options. For those who appreciate outdoor activities, the surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and various other pursuits. Both main utilities are connected (mains water, electricity, sewage) while heating is provided via oil central heating. This property presents a unique blend of character and investment potential in an appealing Somerset location—not to be overlooked by those looking to make their mark in an evolving neighborhood.
