DESCRIPTION

A splendid three bedroom detached bungalow, set on a 1/4 acre plot, in a quiet area of the desirable village of Westbury Sub Mendip. The property has been within the same family ownership since 1976 and is now in need of updating, offering a wonderful opportunity to place your own mark.

The room has ample space for a large dining table and chairs along with comfortable seating and a stone faced fireplace as the focal point. The fireplace has a gas connection but could equally be adapted to fit a wood burner or open fire if desired. The open plan reception room has sliding doors out to the rear path and gardens of the property whilst also benefitting from views across the village and countryside in the distance. 

From the central hall are three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom can be found to the front of the property looking out over gardens, bedroom two has the benefit of fitted storage and the third double bedroom has a view over the rear gardens and countryside in the distance.

The South-West garden to the rear is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, flowers, shrubs and hedging.
