Three Bedroom House with Additional Plot of Land with Planning Permission for a Two Bedroom Detached Dwelling with garage - 25/00569/mntdc

Set in a generous corner plot in the popular residential town of Templecombe, this charming semi-detached stone property offers a wonderful blend of character and practicality. This home offers three bedrooms, a garden and parking for two vehicles and sits just a short distance from local amenities.

Ground Floor
The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with wooden flooring, a rear garden outlook, and a staircase rising to the first floor. An internal window opening and door lead into the bright and inviting living room, where wooden flooring and an open fireplace provide warmth and charm. French doors and a further window look out to the front garden, while a fitted cupboard with shelving provides useful storage. At the heart of the home is the kitchen/dining room, designed with both character and functionality in mind. The kitchen area enjoys a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows that draw in natural lights, complemented by a large side window and a cottage door opening to the garden. Wood-effect shaker-style wall and base units are paired with a ceramic sink and swan tap, while there is ample space for appliances, including a freestanding electric oven, fridge-freezer and additional under counter space. The dining area offers space for a family table, and the extension proudly displays the original stone wall, now an attractive interior feature. A door leads through to a practical downstairs cloakroom fitted with a WC, basin and heated towel rail.

First Floor
Upstairs, the accommodation is well arranged around a landing with a family bathroom, comprising a bath with Mira Go shower over, WC, sink, heated towel rail and obscured window. The principal bedroom to the front is a generous double with a feature fireplace, built-in wardrobe and fitted cupboards above, while bedroom two also provides a comfortable double with an airing cupboard. Bedroom three, overlooking the rear garden, includes a fitted cupboard with hanging space. All bedrooms are finished with dark grey fleck carpet. From the landing, there is loft access with a pull-down metal ladder to a partially boarded loft.

Outside
To the front, the long garden includes a gravelled parking bay for two vehicles, cut neatly into the lawn and accessed from Collingham Close. The rear garden, enclosed by wooden fencing, features paved areas and rockery beds, with potential to be shaped into a beautiful, secluded garden. Stable doors open into the kitchen, while the rear also houses the oil tank and boiler, as well as a coal bunker currently used for log storage. An attached stone outbuilding with electricity, lighting, sink and window provides flexible additional space. Although currently without a door, it offers scope for a workshop, garden store or hobby room. Beyond the boundary of the rear garden lies an additional plot of land, situated at the end of the property. This plot benefits from full planning permission for the construction of a two-bedroom detached dwelling with an accompanying garage, offering excellent potential for development or investment.

Location
Templecombe is situated in the beautiful Somerset countryside and is well placed for the many amenities on offer, including a mainline railway station (London Waterloo 2hrs), post office, welcoming community café and Co-op convenience store. There is a village church, primary school and doctor's surgery with dispensary, and the village hall offers space for community clubs (bowls, youth, mums & toddlers), while the recreation ground has a tennis court and skate park. A big attraction of Templecombe is its accessibility, being situated close to both the A303 and the A30 with fast routes east and west towards the motorway network. The mainline station is an obvious draw, while local comprehensive shopping, cultural and leisure amenities are found close by in the towns of Sherborne, Wincanton, Shaftesbury and Yeovil. To the south, the World Heritage Jurassic coast is within easy striking distance. The area is renowned for its schools, both independent and state and the surrounding countryside, much of which is an area of outstanding natural beauty, is a playground for sporting and leisure pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling, golf and field sports. There are village cricket clubs close by and sailing and other water sports are readily accessible on the south coast.
