Nestled in the heart of this charming rural community, the property enjoys views over adjoining fields and offers an appealing blend of peace, privacy, and potential.
Occupying a generous plot, the bungalow provides excellent scope for extension - either into its existing footprint or, subject to the necessary planning consents, by adding a first floor to create a larger family home.
Currently, the accommodation is comfortable and well laid out, featuring oil-fired central heating and double-glazed windows. The front door opens into a wide, welcoming hallway with a hatch giving access to a large loft space. To the right, a light and airy sitting room enjoys views across the village and surrounding countryside, with an attractive natural stone open fireplace providing a lovely focal point.
At the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room offers plenty of space for a table and is fitted with a range of units, an eye-level oven, and inset hob. A useful rear lobby provides access to a WC, storage cupboard, and the gardens/driveway.
Off the main hallway are two double bedrooms, both with fitted double wardrobes, along with a modern bathroom
Outside, Scotts Retreat enjoys an elevated position, with the front garden sloping down to a mature laurel hedge. The driveway provides ample parking for several cars and leads to a detached garage with an adjoining car port.
Although the rear garden is not especially deep, it is wide, very private, and enjoys a sunny aspect — ideal for outdoor relaxation. Areas of lawn extend to both sides of the property, offering plenty of scope for keen gardeners or those wishing to further landscape the space. A small garden room provides a sheltered area to enjoy afternoon tea.
In summary, while some areas would benefit from updating, Scotts Retreat presents an exciting opportunity to extend and modernise, creating a truly delightful home in a wonderful rural setting just moments from Bruton.
