Wincanton, Somerset, BA9

A wonderful opportunity to purchase a spacious three bedroom detached bungalow which has been extended to take full advantage of stunning views across the Blackmore Vale.

Upon entering through an enclosed entrance porch you are welcomed into a spacious L shaped hallway. To your left the living room beckons with an attractive stone fireplace as its centrepiece. The living room seamlessly flows into the sun lounge offering an abundance of natural light and delightful far reaching countryside views. Off the sun lounge, there is a lobby which gives access to a second shower room with underfloor heating. Returning to the hallway, a modern stylish kitchen awaits, enjoying an excellent range of units and thoughtfully designed to provide an eye level oven and space for a kitchen table. Further along the hallway there is access to a family shower room and three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles.

Stepping outside, the rear garden is a particular feature full of colour and interest with natural stone walls, rose bed, area of lawn and a large terrace ideal for relaxation and taking in the wonderful views. To the font, there is an area of lawn and a driveway providing off road parking and access to the garage with an electric remote door.

We highly recommend an internal viewing of this delightful home which is offered for sale with no forward chain.
