4 bedroom detached house for sale

A great opportunity to purchase a surprisingly spacious detached modern thatched cottage with four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and enjoying a peaceful location at the end of a small private cul de sac. The property is situated on the edge of the popular Somerset village of Templecombe and is within walking distance of the mainline railway station and within reach of the other amenities, which include a Co-Op store, primary school, church, doctor's surgery plus a further convenience store with post office. There is also a village hall and many clubs available to join. The property is about twenty years old and has been a very much loved and enjoyed home to the current owners. During this time it has been exceedingly well cared for and has benefitted from many improvements. These include the fitting of shutters to many of the windows, new carpets have been laid to the stairs and landing, the en-suite and family shower room have been replaced with stylish contemporary suites and the kitchen has benefitted from a spruce up to bring it into current trends. The property has also benefitted from a re-decoration throughout, landscaping to the garden and a new oil tank. This lovely home holds many surprises and must be viewed to truly appreciate the layout and size of the rooms, as well as the location.
