Semi-detached bungalow for sale in New Buildings, The Pound, Donyatt, Ilminster TA19

Set in a generous plot of just over a fifth of an acre with scope for further extension, this surprisingly spacious bungalow sits in a sought-after village and boasts lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Offered for sale with no onward chain.

The Property

Set on a generous 0.22 acre (0.09 hectare) plot at the edge of the village, this spacious bungalow offers far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. Whether you’re a keen gardener planning for single-level living or a family looking for a home with ample space for children to play and explore, this property is perfectly suited to meet your needs. If you have hobbies or need space to work from home, then the adjoining workshop / potential home office offers lots of additional space or potential to incorporate into the existing accommodation.

The bungalow is well-presented for sale, with many replacement UPVC double-glazed windows and oil-fired central heating boiler and oil tank updated in 2023, ensuring you can move in and start making it your own one room at a time. The spacious interior provides a solid foundation, offering potential for updates to suit your personal style and preferences. The flexible layout can accommodate those looking for three double bedrooms, or two spacious doubles and an extra reception room.

Inside, the bungalow features generously sized rooms, offering flexibility for various living arrangements. While some internal updating might be desired, the property’s overall condition is neutral and tidy, making it ready for immediate occupancy.

The entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway includes a particularly spacious airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and slatted shelving, as well as access to the loft space via a hatch. To one side a former bathroom is now laid out as a shower room with accessible walk in shower area with low profile tray and mains shower. The separate WC to the side could be incorporated into the shower room to make a large bathroom if required. There are three double bedrooms, two of which overlook the gardens at the rear and the main bedroom enjoying the fabulous views to the front alongside a range of fitted wardrobes. At the rear, the kitchen / breakfast room has room enough for a table if you prefer and as well as opening onto the rear garden, perfect for wash days. It also has a great view from the kitchen sink. Although currently fitted with the original units there's lots of space for all your white goods and no doubt those looking to have their own choice of kitchen have plenty of space to play with.

The vendors have traditionally used the living room as a sitting / dining room with space to one corner for a dining table. Again, the wonderful views overlook the fields at the front and there's an open fireplace if you like the additional glow in the cooler months.

Combining the charm of country living with practical modern features, this bungalow is a versatile choice for those looking to create a personalized, comfortable home. The stunning countryside views add to its appeal, providing a peaceful and picturesque setting.

Outside

Ideal for gardening enthusiasts, the large plot provides plenty of outdoor space to cultivate and enjoy. Families will appreciate the ample grounds where children can burn off excess energy and enjoy the freedom of outdoor play. Those with more time on their hands will love the greenhouse space, the scope to grow your own and the mature apple tree which no doubt will help fill many a crumble or pie. Across the rear is a substantial patio leading up onto the large lawn. A few years ago the vendors started to create an outdoor pergola area, screening the oil tank from view and although this was never finished it could be incorporated into new garden plans, perhaps by the addition of wires and climbing plants, or creating the perfect area for an outdoor hot tub. A further UPVC double glazed door leads into what is currently an adjoining workshop / potential home office area with power, light and polycarbonate roof. Beyond is a further area, which was originally intended to be converted into an external WC. Whilst these areas are currently believed to be single-skinned they offer scope to insulate, re-roof and incorporate into the main accommodation or simply make use of them as they are, for hobbies, storage or working from home.

The driveway to the front provides parking and turning space along with access to the single garage, with up and over door, power and light. It also houses the oil fired central heating boiler. A side access path provides additional access to the rear garden, flanked by mature Hydrangeas.
