3 2 2
A deceptively spacious detached bungalow with a large mature garden, three double bedrooms, upstairs office, garage and conservatory situated in the sought after village of East Harptree. With scope for extending this is a superb opportunity to create a perfect family home.
Marchwood is a deceptively spacious detached bungalow with a wonderful, large mature garden to the rear, including a secluded Japanese style summer house, pond and productive vegetable garden. There are three double bedrooms with one en-suite, and the loft has been converted into an office and offers scope for further improvement.
About the inside:
Two double bedrooms sit either side of the entrance hall, one with a decorative fireplace, and the other with an en-suite bathroom with separate shower. The third double bedroom is a light room looking out to the side. The dining room benefits from an open fire, and steps lead down to the newly fitted kitchen overlooking the garden. The generous living room is also to the rear with patio doors onto decking. A woodburner provides a cosy focal point and decorative beams add character. The conservatory is a lovley room connecting the bungalow with the single garage. Doors open out to both the front and rear garden.
Accessed from a staircase in the entrance hall is an upstairs office with a skylight looking over the rear garden. There is scope to alter the existing layout to potentially create a larger room.
About the outside:
A timber five bar gate opens to the gravelled drive, providing parking for several vehicles and access to the single garage. The rear garden, however, is the real feature of this property. Approaching a quarter of an acre, the owner has lovingly landscaped the garden into several 'rooms' starting with a large level lawn, ideal for playing, then an arbour walk with a bridge to the water feature - a tranquil pond with seating areas and a Japanese style pergola. Hidden behind timber fencing is a productive vegetable garden, compost area and large greenhouse with a mature grapevine. Decking and a patio area immediately to the rear of the bungalow is perfect for al fresco dining.
About the area:
Marchwood is situated in the popular and charming village of East Harptree, on the northern edge of the Mendip Hills and within the Chew Valley.
Within the village there is a strong community with a range of local facilities including a church, village hall, public house, primary school, pre-school, shop, playing field and cricket club. Further local facilities are available in the near-by villages of West Harptree and Chew Magna.
The property is ideally located for those commuting to Bristol, Bath and the local market towns. The regional centre of Bristol is 14 miles to the north whilst the Heritage City of Bath is 16 miles to the north east. The Cathedral City of Wells offers further facilities and is 7 miles to the south. Mainline rail services to London Paddington are available from Bristol (98 minutes) and Bath (85 minutes).
