Southgate Drive, Wincanton, Somerset, BA9

Whilst in need of modernisation, this unfurnished, Two Bedroom Semi-Detached Bungalow, conveniently located and within walking distance to the town centre, is sure to inspire anyone wishing to put their mark on a property which enjoys a private garden, garage and parking.

Entering the double glazed and obscured glass porch, an internal door leads to the hallway which provides the central corridor to all the rooms. The sitting room/dining room, with dimmable ceiling and wall lights and large window to the front creates a bright living space and feature fireplace with electric fire provides warmth on colder days. The smaller second bedroom sits at the front of the property with the larger main bedroom to the rear. The family bathroom has an electric shower and obscured window providing natural light. A separate double airing cupboard is conveniently located in the hallway.

The kitchen, with wooden wall and base units, provides ample storage space. A wall-mounted Neff single oven and grill, ceramic electric hob and extractor neatly fit the space with additional room for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. Worktop currently used as a breakfast bar could be utilised for additional appliances below. The bungalow is currently fitted with night storage heaters which, if upgraded, would ensure greater energy and cost effectiveness. A hatch, with ladder, provides access to the loft which is partially boarded and has the benefit of lighting.

Outside
The bungalow is set back from the road with a pathway to a step into the front porch. The path continues across the front of the property to aid with ease of maintenance. The front garden is laid to lawn with a circular planting area which, when planted with flowers and shrubs, would provide a colourful focal point to enjoy from the sitting room. A door from the rear of the porch leads to a path at the side of the house and to a wooden gate into the back garden.

The back garden is accessible via a door from the kitchen. North facing, the garden enjoys the morning sun which can be appreciated from the stone bench. The wooden Summerhouse, at the rear of the garden, is perfectly placed to sit and enjoy the afternoon sunshine. The back garden is laid to lawn with a stone sun dial, bird bath and central planted bed of Heathers providing areas of interest. A pathway along the side of the garden leads to both a set of concrete steps which provide access to the rear of the garage via a door and to the end of the garden where a gate provides access to the parking space and main entrance to the garage. The garage, accessed via Tything Way, benefits from an up and over electric door, lighting, shelving, electrical sockets and a workbench with vice for DIY enthusiasts.
