Property Description

Built in 1961, The Wickets was the first bungalow on the street and has been much loved and extended by the current owner and is being sold with no onward chain.

We enter into an enclosed storm porch which leads onto a significant entrance hall. From here we can access the three bedrooms, two of which are well sized doubles and the third is a large single. There is a family bathroom with shower over bath and next to this a central kitchen with built in cooker and free standing white goods. The oil fueled boiler is tucked away within a cupboard and extensive kitchen cupboards and worktops frame the space, with views across garden and fields behind. Beyond this is a large utility room with separate cloakroom and an exterior door to the garden. Towards the front of the house is the extremely spacious drawing room with a picture frame window, showcasing the mature front garden and a large fireplace with electric fire. Open with the original dining room and over 20ft wide, this room leads onto the sun room, beautifully screened to provide a perfectly private sitting room with sliding doors leading out to the patio and a single exterior door to the garden. 

A large double garage is attached to the house and offers a huge opportunity to extend, as does the loft space, subject to planning permission. The spacious driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and the garden wraps around the property with access on both sides with the rear overlooking extensive fields towards Axbridge and therefore plenty of stunning countryside views.

This much loved home would be perfect for those seeking a spacious home on one level but could also be a fantastic project for a young family looking to benefit from living in this desirable hamlet!
