Prestleigh, Shepton Mallet, BA4

Brynhyfryd (translating to 'pleasant hill') is a spacious two double bedroom bungalow in an attractive plot and surrounded by mature gardens on all sides. This well-proportioned detached property was built in the 1950's and is set in the centre of this private plot which is thought to extend to around 0.25 of an acre. With drives and entrances from the road at the front and the lane at the rear, there is the potential for the plot to be developed, subject to receiving the necessary planning consents. Alternatively, the property itself offers scope to extend into the roof or at the side, once again subject to planning permission. The current accommodation includes an open plan kitchen and dining area with a conservatory and utility room leading off. There is a also sitting room, two double bedrooms and a modern fitted bathroom. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with dedicated seating areas. The gardens are well stocked with a range of established trees, mature hedges and planted borders. In addition to the detached garage, there is off road parking at the front and rear of the property with parking for several vehicles. Very close to the well regarded Mendip School and offered with no onward chain.
