A unique opportunity to acquire this detached 2 double bedroom bungalow in the heart of its own plot with garden to all sides, parking, huge potential and situated in one of the areas most sought-after villages.


A wonderful opportunity to acquire this two bedroom detached bungalow in the heart of its own plot with parking and occupying a great position in the ever popular village of Horton. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms, family bathroom and WC. Fairholme comes to the market for the very first time, testament to what a tremendous home it has been. Although now in need of general updating and modernising, it’s a great blank canvas on which to stamp one’s dream designs on. Both reception rooms are dual aspect with the luxury of wood-burning stoves and views over the garden. The sitting room is great space to unwind throughout the seasons whilst the dining room will appeal to those who like to entertain. There is a well-fitted kitchen and both bedrooms are considered to be good-size doubles. They are both serviced by the family bathroom and separate WC. It should be noted that given the position within the plot, there is lots of potential to extend out or up, subject to the necessary consents. This charming home will prove particularly popular to those looking for single-storey living, those looking for an exciting and manageable project and those simply wanting idyllic village life.

Horton together with its sister village of Broadway form a very active community with facilities which include a Post Office/stores, local primary school, doctors surgery, village halls, churches and two popular pubs. To the south west lie the Blackdown Hills designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty providing excellent opportunities for those with country interests. The larger busy market town of Ilminster lies less than three miles to the east, providing a range of facilities fulfilling most day to day needs. With the A303 and its connections to the M5 only one mile away Horton is well placed for the larger County town of Taunton 10 miles with its comprehensive facilities, including shops, schools within both the state and independent sectors, county cricket ground, race course and mainline station (London Paddington), Chard 5 miles, Axminster and Crewkerne with mainline stations (London Waterloo) 9 miles, Yeovil 15 miles and the South Coast 18 miles.

The property is approached by a driveway leading to off-road parking and timber shed. The remainder of the grounds wrap around Fairholme and are laid to lawn and various trees and shrubs. It’s a delightful setting for enjoying through the warmer months, especially for those who enjoy alfresco dining and sitting out with family and friends. Keen gardeners will also appreciate the addition of a large polly-tunnel and storage shed.
