3 bedroom detached house for sale

A detached period cottage set in private, mature gardens of approximately 1 acre with flexible outbuildings and the potential to improve and extend. EPC: F

Pleasant Valley is a charming period detached cottage that has been thoughtfully improved and extended over time, retaining the warmth and character of its original period features. Set within its own beautifully tended gardens and grounds, the property enjoys an exceptional level of privacy with no near neighbours.
The property is entered via a hall with a staircase to the first floor and a door to the downstairs cloakroom. The sitting room features an open fireplace, dual aspect windows, exposed beams, and access to the conservatory. The conservatory overlooks the garden and has double doors opening onto the rear terrace.
There is a separate dining room with wooden beams and garden views. The kitchen is fitted out with the usual range of appliances and wall and floor units.
A rear hall leads to a garden room/study with a door to the garden, along with a second downstairs WC.
On the first floor, there are three well sized bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, and a bathroom.

Pleasant Valley occupies a fine semi rural position close to the traditional small town of Chard surrounded by some beautiful South Somerset countryside and within a 30 minute drive of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis. Chard offers a good range of everyday amenities with a choice of major supermarkets, smaller retailers, educational and leisure facilities. The County Town of Taunton is some 12 miles to the North with an excellent choice of schooling in both the private and state sectors. Road and rail links are very accessible as the property is within 3 miles of the main A303 and the M5 motorway connects at Taunton with intercity rail services at Taunton and Crewkerne and both Bristol and Exeter airports are within easy driving distance.

A five bar gate opens onto the cottage’s private gravelled hardstanding providing access to the detached double garage and the studio/workshop, which already includes a utility area and bathroom and offers excellent potential for conversion to self contained accommodation (subject to planning and the necessary consents).
The gardens wrap around the property and have been lovingly maintained over many years. Paved terraces to the front, side and rear provide wonderful vantage points over the grounds. The garden is divided into distinct areas and features mature specimen trees, fruit trees and established shrubs. A substantial kitchen garden includes fruit cages, raised beds, greenhouses and timber stores.
