Beautiful detached period Chard home is up for sale

Believed to date from the late 19th Century, the property offers generous accommodation with a peaceful outlook over its own superb garden and grounds and enjoys a high degree of privacy.

Entering the house you are drawn through the hallway to a sun room giving an immediate sight of the garden.

The ground floor provides four reception rooms with a triple aspect sitting room having French doors into the garden, a cosy snug and separate dining and breakfast room, creating flexibility for anyone wishing to work from home.

Finally there is a well fitted kitchen, separate utility and cloakroom.

At first floor level the master bedroom, with en-suite shower room, overlooks the garden and there are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with bedrooms four and five, also doubles, on the second floor.

The property is double glazed throughout and heating is provided by an external oil fired boiler to radiators with multifuel stoves in the sitting and dining rooms.

The property is approached from an unsurfaced lane where double gates give access to an extensive parking area and single garage.

The gardens form a perfect setting for this property and have been developed over many years with both formal and informal areas.

In the past the vendors have kept both pigs and goats and there is an extensive poultry run.

A number of small outbuildings include two greenhouses, a range of useful stores at the rear of the garage and a delightful former beach hut.
