Description

This self-built property presents a unique investment opportunity in the quaint village of Croscombe. Set on approximately 0.4 acres, this three to four bedroom house features well-considered layouts and sustainable design elements but may require additional capital for completion or updates. The accommodation is bright and airy, with an open-plan kitchen and separate sitting room that both lead to a covered terrace through bi-fold doors, making it well-suited for entertaining or family gatherings. The home includes practical spaces such as a utility room and walk-in larder, although further enhancements could elevate their functionality. With three bathrooms, including an ensuite in the principal suite, all bedrooms are strategically positioned to maximize the splendid views over the surrounding valley. Significant sustainability features include an air source heat pump combined with Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), which optimizes energy efficiency while providing clean air circulation. The inclusion of photovoltaic panels further supports the home's green credentials, yet potential buyers might explore additional upgrades to improve energy performance even more. The outdoor space is versatile and private, bordered by hedges and trees, creating an ideal setting for landscaping or garden development projects. Current planning permission allows for substantial new construction opportunities within the site’s framework, offering scope for expansion or customization based on individual needs. Located in a vibrant community with rich historical roots and access to local amenities in Wells and Shepton Mallet, this property not only allows for a comfortable living environment but also represents a promising venture into self-directed renovation efforts that could yield significant returns in value.
