Dating from the early 1800's, this unique town house is attractively finished with rendered elevations set beneath a tiled roof and retains a wealth of original character. Features include sash windows with working shutters, stunning period fireplaces and high ceilings with original plaster mouldings. The accommodation is set over three floors, extremely versatile with potential to create an annexe and perfect for a family or anyone looking to run a business from home. Entering through a pillared storm porch you step into a spacious hallway and thence to a lovely drawing room with display alcoves and a marble fireplace with inset Jetmaster grate. This opens into a stunning 'wrap around' garden room with bi-folding doors to the garden and full of natural light. On the other side of the hallway is a cosy traditional study again with fine period fireplace. The kitchen is generous and well fitted with bespoke units and separate utility room with access to both the garden room and back driveway. The current owner runs educational courses and workshops making use of the independent entrance and the garden room. The property is listed on the UK register of learning providers.
At first floor level there is a wide elegant landing leading to three double bedrooms and an excellent family bathroom. Stairs then lead to the second floor and two further interconnecting bedrooms but currently only used for storage.
Note: Attic bedrooms 4 and 5, have been used as bedrooms long term but do not have current building regulations.
The property is quietly tucked away on the South side of Chard main High Street in a secluded and private location but within a few hundred yards of the town centre and close to open countryside. All of the amenities of a small town are within reach including a good selection of shops, major supermarkets, banks, medical services etc with the County Town of Taunton some 14 miles to the North. There is easy access both to the M5 and the A303 with a choice of main line rail stations at Crewkerne (London Waterloo) 7 miles or Taunton (Paddington). The World Heritage Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis is about 14 miles distant.
The property is approached over a private lane that leads off the High Street. To the front of the property is an extensive gravelled parking area that will accommodate any number of vehicles and the walled garden then stretches away to the south. There is an excellent barn/workshop suitable for a variety of uses and beyond this gravelled paths meander through the garden which is in need of some attention but could easily be returned to its former glory. There are extensive hedges and shrubs, a pergola with grapevine, lawned areas and former kitchen garden with greenhouse and vegetable beds. The whole area extends to just over 0.5 Acre.
