4 Bed Detached House For Sale

***END OF CHAIN***SOUGHT AFTER VILLAGE LOCATION***DOUBLE GARAGE***LARGE DETACHED HOME***A fabulous chance to purchase a substantial, modern detached family home offering around 2198 sq. feet (204. sq. meters) of space with four double sized bedrooms, presented for sale with the advantage of no onward chain and forming part of a small exclusive development of other similar properties. The property enjoys a peaceful location and is situated down a private drive within walking distance of all the village's facilities. Bourton provides everyday facilities with a public house - The White Lion, garage with convenience store and a primary school as well as doctor's surgery and church. The property lies close to some excellent communication links and is within reach of Wincanton, Mere and the old market town of Gillingham where there is a mainline train station. The popular town of Bruton is also close by and is the home of the Hauser and Wirth gallery and has a choice of independent schools. This is the first time that the property has been brought to the market for sale having been the much loved and enjoyed home to our sellers since 1997. During this time it has been exceptionally well cared for and maintained. The oil fired central heating boiler was replaced about five years ago, replacement uPVC double glazing was fitted in 2016 with nearly all windows being a sash design and a wood burner has been installed. The property offers a traditional layout, with all rooms boasting a high degree of natural light and provides well proportioned rooms with the option to update, as and when, to ones' own taste and design. This lovely home must be viewed to truly appreciate what it has to offer and how easily it would lend itself to many potential buyers' needs - from those looking for a large family home to those seeking an interim downsize. An early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid missing out on being the next owner.
