Enjoying a rural but not isolated location this impressive detached bungalow lies on the outskirts of Charlton Musgrove with delightful views over adjoining fields. Over the years the property has been cleverly re-configured and extended to provide a wonderful open plan kitchen/diner which has been recently updated creating an inviting area for family meals and entertaining. Another highlight is the beautiful garden, now made even more expansive with the recent addition of a neighbouring parcel of land which has transformed the garden into an idyllic haven for keen gardeners. There is a large area of lawn, fruit trees, seating areas and a garden room being the perfect space to sit and relax after a busy day. Returning to the accommodation there is a bright but cosy sitting room featuring a magnificent solid oak floor and a wood burning stove, two double bedrooms, large bath/shower room, cloakroom and versatile utility room which could be converted into an additional bedroom if required. The bungalow benefits from double glazed windows, oil fired central heating and a large garage. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this home and its surroundings has to offer.

The drive is owned by the property with the neighbour having a right of way to their garage. A tall picket fence makes the garden dog proof and separates it from the driveway. The garage has a roll up remote controlled electric door and benefits from light and power. To the rear of the garage an opening leads through to a garden room with double doors opening to the rear garden.

FRONT GARDEN: A metal gate from the drive opens to a path leading to the front door and the garden, which enjoys the morning and early afternoon sun. This is enclosed by mature hedgerow and planted with a variety of flowers and shrubs plus vegetable beds and greenhouse. A lawn at the side of the bungalow leads to the rear garden.

REAR GARDEN: The rear garden is a particular feature with a lovely outlook over fields. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with shrub and flower borders providing colour and interest throughout the year.
