4 bed detached house for sale

Foxglove Way, Chard TA20

A light, bright and immaculately presented four bedroom home, tucked away in a cul de sac just a short walk from the local nature reserve and countryside walks.

The Property

Beautifully presented throughout, and with lots of practical features, this super four bedroom detached home could be just perfect if you need a low-maintenance home within easy reach of the town and yet close to countryside. Just a short walk takes you into the Chard Reservoir nature reserve with its lakeside walks and links to local footpaths, whilst the town has everything you need for day to day living. Not only that but within 30 minutes drive you can be at the stunning Jurassic coastline, making a fish and chip supper by the sea completely feasible after work!

The vendors have made many improvements and the house has been nicely kept. One recent addition includes the new entrance porch which gives you an extra area for coats and shoes before you enter, and helps to keep the house nice and warm too. The double glazed front door then opens into an entrance lobby with wood effect flooring and the stairs rising to the first floor.

The spacious sitting room is made even more so by the lovely bay window at the front letting in as much natural light as possible and there's a feature electric fireplace for a cosy glow. Beyond the sitting room is a dining area with double glazed french doors opening onto the southerly facing garden at the rear. A door opens through to the fitted kitchen / breakfast room with the added bonus of a separate utility room adjoining.

The kitchen is fitted with crisp white units, and includes space for an electric cooker with stainless steel cooker hood over. There is also room for your dishwasher and upright fridge freezer, whilst the adjoining utility room houses space for your washing machine and tumble dryer. It also houses the wall mounted Vaillant gas boiler and has a separate door to the rear garden perfect for wash days. To one side is a handy downstairs cloakroom. Another useful feature of the layout is the interconnecting internal door to the garage. This is located adjacent to the understair's cupboard and means that the garage can be used for plenty of extra storage if you so wish. Currently it is fitted with extra cupboards, and has power and light connected with a remote controlled roller shutter door.

On the first floor an attractive landing provides access to the loft space and houses the airing cupboard with hot water cylinder and optional electric immersion. The master bedroom includes a deep built-in wardrobe over the stairs with ample hanging space and shelving. The en suite shower room is well fitted with modern suite including shower cubicle with Triton electric shower, concealed cistern WC and vanity wash hand basin, finished with neutral tiling and mosaic border.

There are three further bedrooms, two of which overlook the rear garden and have a lovely sunny aspect, and a fourth bedroom to the front. Three of the bedrooms include their own fitted wardrobes and two of the bedrooms have TV aerial points.

Outside

To the front, the property is accessed via a shared driveway and this leads onto the private driveway directly in front of the property providing parking for two cars side by side. It also provides access to the integral single garage. A side path provides access to the rear garden which enjoys a southerly aspect and has been landscaped into gentle tiers with rendered retaining walls. A patio makes a lovely sheltered spot to sit and relax and has the benefit of a remote controlled sun awning above the dining room doors. There is also an outside power point, external courtesy light and water tap by the utility room door. The garden is fully enclosed by fencing, and there are lawns dotted with mature shrubs and japanese acer.

Situation

Chard is a historic market town with a good mix of local independent stores, large supermarkets and B&Q store. Chard also has a good variety of schools, both state schools rated “good” by Ofsted and the historic Chard Independent School.

Just a short walk from the property is the Chard Reservoir Nature Reserve, a beautiful expanse of open water with surrounding woodland ideal for dog-walking, fishing (via permit) and bird-watching. From the reservoir edge you can access the Chard-Ilminster cycle path, part of the Sustrans route 33 which follows a predominantly level pathway between the towns of Chard and Ilminster along the site of the former railway line, completely away from traffic and popular for cyclists, dog walkers and joggers. Chard also has a newly finished Leisure Centre with a swimming pool, Softplay area and gym. There is also a golf course within 2 miles and several other sporting activities close by.
