Detached house for sale in Chard TA20, 3 Bedroom

This deceptively spacious cottage has been greatly improved but has managed to retain plenty of character. Located on the edge of the village it has lower maintenance gardens to suit those with busy lives and lovely far reaching views.

The Property
You enter through a handy porch into the entrance lobby and immediately start to get a sense of the character of the place. There's a great use of timber throughout, whether it's exposed beams, polished window sills or the reclaimed floor in the dining room. The kitchen and dining room are separate enough to retain their designated uses but have been knocked through to create a larger dual aspect space with exposed brick pillars giving a rustic feel. The vaulted ceiling in the kitchen adding to the sense of space, and the shaker style cream units suiting the "modern cottage" look.

There is an integrated electric oven and hob with cooker hood over, and further integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer. A white ceramic one and a half bowl sink unit sits in timber worktops whilst underneath sits plumbing for your washing machine. If you want to keep an eye on things in the back garden the kitchen looks out to the rear, and a stable door leads onto the patio too. The living room is a lovely size with natural light coming in from all elevations including patio doors to the side. A feature fireplace makes a focal point, and there's nothing to stop the addition of an electric fire should you want a pretty glow, although the property has full oil-fired central heating and double glazing.

On the first floor the landing is quirky and characterful, the exposed ceiling beams highlighting the vaulted ceiling above your head as the landing leads off in two directions. The front bedrooms enjoy the view to the front, whilst the nice size master bedroom has views to the side and an en-suite shower-room too. The family bathroom is attractively fitted with white suite including bath and shower over. Again there is great attention to detail upstairs, from a pretty display niche on the landing to exposed beams and oak doors.

Outside
There is a driveway to the front and side providing off road parking. The side drive can be enclosed by a gate and also has the benefit of foundations in place for a potential garage / utility room should a buyer wish to make use of this. Behind the house is a pleasant enclosed patio and raised lawned garden. A further timber garage / store is accessed via a vehicular right of way to the other side of the property.

Combe St Nicholas is set in lovely countryside not far from the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its miles and miles of herepaths popular for walking, cycling and horse-riding. Approximately 3 miles from Chard and 6.5 miles from Ilminster, it has great accessibility to all the day to day amenities you require and excellent road links via the A358, A30 and A303. Both the beautiful Jurassic coast to the south and the M5 Junction at Taunton are within c.30 minutes' drive. The A303 London – Exeter trunk road is just an easy 3 minute drive away.

The village appears to have a good sense of community and together with the nearby hamlet of Wadeford has a great deal of parish organisations including History group, Horticultural society, short mat bowls, weekly village café in the village hall, ladies groups, and Gala association that organises lots of events and entertainments.

The village also has its own Football club with four teams plus a ladies team, clubhouse and pitch. There is a post office and store, historic parish church, two pubs and Church of England Primary School. Doctors surgeries are available in Chard whilst there are community hospitals in Chard, Axminster, Crewkerne, South Petherton and Honiton. The main district hospitals are at Yeovil and Taunton.
