Wincanton, Somerset, BA9

The property is tucked away in a cul-de-sac on a sought after mature development with minimal passing traffic. Upon entering the property there is a useful cupboard to your right for coats and shoes. Straight ahead and to your right there is the bathroom and two double bedrooms. To the left of the hallway a door opens to a large L shaped sitting/dining room with a  fireplace as its centrepiece. From the dining area an opening leads through to a huge kitchen fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units topped with a work surface. French doors lead out to a conservatory with a solid roof providing all year round use, and a delightful outlook over the garden. Speaking of which, this is a particular feature being totally secluded and enjoying a wonderful seating area with a gazebo and raised fish pond providing the perfect place to sit and relax or entertain friends and family. There is also generous off road parking to the front of the property and a large single garage.

Although there are some areas of the bungalow that would benefit from updating, this is a wonderful opportunity to create a home to your own taste and style, situated in an enviable location within a mature secluded garden.
