A unique and well proportioned, three bedroom detached bungalow, sat in the middle of an enviable, generous plot in Lower Godney that boasts far reaching countryside views and has the River Sheppy trickling through the garden. The property further benefits from a large, detached stone built coach house style barn and garage which is ripe for converting into a home office or additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. EPC rating G.


Chainbridge is a superbly positioned, unique bungalow that has been in the family since it was first built by the current family owners in circa 1979. Situated on the site of an old farmhouse, within a very generous and idyllic plot, the bungalow has even been built using the original stones from the former property which were each reclaimed and restored by hand. The original coach house style barn and garage is still present and currently just used for storage, however, would be perfect for a home office/studio/garages or extra accommodation should the necessary permissions be granted. To the rear of the bungalow, there is 'chain bridge' that takes you over the river to a wonderful second, orchard style garden.

The bungalow is accessed via a handy storm porch at the front of the property, which leads into the entrance hall. From here, you can access all rooms of the property, with the sitting room being located on your right-hand side upon entry. The sitting room is a large, dual-aspect room which runs the full depth of the bungalow, with large windows at either end affording it plenty of natural light as well as enjoying the far reaching countryside views, whilst there is also an open fireplace with tiled surround. The kitchen is located to the rear of the property and offers a range of wall and base units, with a window to the rear aspect overlooking the fields to the rear and the array of wildlife that enjoy the River Sheppey that dissects the garden. There is also a rear door which opens onto the patio seating terrace, as well as a fitted oil-fired Aga, which will remain with the property.

To the left side of the property, you will find the three generous double bedrooms, with two enjoying an outlook to the front and one to the rear. The separate bathroom and cloakroom are also located at this end of the hallway.

The property is situated in the rural village of Lower Godney which has a widely renowned local public house and a village hall. Godney is some 5 miles from the Cathedral City of Wells. The historic town of Glastonbury is 4 miles and offers a good range of shops, banks supermarkets etc, whilst the thriving centre of Street is 6 miles and offers more comprehensive facilities including both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Strode Theatre, Strode College and the complex of factory shopping outlets in Clarks Village.

Approached from the front via a five bar gate which opens onto a large, tree-lined gravelled parking area, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. The front garden is enclosed by stone walls and is predominantly laid to lawn and includes a selection of small, well-established trees. The stone barn is located at the front of the garden and comprises three rooms on the ground floor with sliding door access, as well as a full-length attic room above.

The garden to the rear offers an attractive sitting area with a flagstone paved terrace, which has been made from the flagstones of the former farmhouse floor. There are further lawns to either side, an established selection of mature shrubs and plants, as well as a bridge over the River Sheppey to the further orchard style lawned garden area, which offers a selection of trees and is enclosed by hedgerow and chain-link fence. The garden also offers stone steps down into the river, for those looking to do some paddling or kayaking.
