4 bed detached house for sale

Main Street, Babcary, Somerton, Somerset TA11

A converted, detached, former chapel situated in this ever sought after village. Offered for sale with no onward chain.

The Old Chapel provides a purchaser with an outstanding opportunity to acquire a converted former chapel that offers generous three bedroomed accommodation as well as a self contained flat. This offers income potential, the ability to house a dependent relative, or perhaps incorporation into the main dwelling.

This delightful property also features a substantial integral garage that appears to offer conversion possibilities subject to practicality and the necessary consent.

At present the main dwelling and flat interconnect at first floor level although, if required, this could be blocked up.

The overall generous accommodation is in need of updating, allowing a buyer to stamp their own identity on the property which evidently would make a delightful home.

Please note there is no onward chain involved with the sale of the property.

The highly sought after village of Babcary lies conveniently close to the A37 which offers quick access to the south onto the A303 with the towns of Sherborne and Yeovil beyond. The village has a gastro-style pub, The Red Lion. To the north are the towns of Shepton Mallet, Wells and Frome which, in turn, allow access to the cities of Bristol and Bath. Babcary is also a short drive from Castle Cary, well known for its good selection of independent shops together with a mainline railway station offering a direct service to London Paddington. Beyond Castle Cary is Bruton which also has its own train station with the Hauser and Wirth Art Gallery amongst other local attractions and facilities.

In addition there are lawns, a variety of mature trees, planted beds and well maintained hedgerows. Also within this area is a covered lean-to that is attached to the property and may also provide opportunities for conversion into additional accommodation/outdoor kitchen, etc. This formal garden is enclosed mainly within attractive stone walling beyond which is a further mature area that was formerly orchard, containing a variety of fruit trees together with well stocked and planted beds.
