Description
Property description: Guide Price £270,000 - £290,000. Set in the heart of the village, this three bed property would make the perfect first time purchase, a down-sizer, small family house or "lock up and leave". The potential is huge. You enter through an extension that provides a useful porch area - the perfect spot for storing shoes and coats. Off the porch is a downstairs WC. From the hall, to your left, there is a fitted pine kitchen with a range cooker, and space for a fridge, freezer and washing machine. The living room has windows that look over the Glastonbury festival site and down the valley to the Tor. It is a well proportioned room with French doors to the terraced courtyard, and is flooded with natural light. Currently, the room has a range of units to its east side, if these were removed there would be ample space to create a dining area in the living room. There is also the potential to knock through into the kitchen and create a really spacious open plan living area. There is a small conservatory which could be extended (subject to any necessary consents).
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. All of the rooms have views across the village with the Tor and iconic Somerset countryside beyond. There are two double bedrooms and one single that could also be used as an office if required.
The house is in need of some modernisation but does present a real opportunity for someone to come in and make their mark. We have seen similar properties in the immediate area being bought up and transformed.
Outside: There is a walled, private courtyard area that wraps around the property. As it is, it is a low maintenance space that has enormous potential depending on your attitude to gardening. One can only imagine the BBQs in the summer. There is a garden shed and scope to extend (STPP) if one wants. There is a single garage and a parking space.
Location: The house is in Pilton and within walking distance of all the village amenities. The village of Pilton lies between the towns of Glastonbury, Wells and Shepton Mallet and is known for its green spaces and pretty stone cottages, as well as the world famous Glastonbury Festival (for which the lucky purchaser of this property will get free tickets). This thriving village has a shop, a fabulous pub with venue and garden, post office, playing fields (including skate park and tennis courts), church, chapel, playgroup, allotments, a community orchard and numerous clubs. And is also home to the Pilton Club and Village Hall which acts as a community venue for music, events & functions. Throughout the year the village hosts several well attended events including the village flower show and fete not to mention the Glastonbury Festival. The village is steeped in history with almost 70 listed buildings including the 11th Century Church and the restored 14th Century tithe barn which is now used for a variety of village events.
