3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Chapel Road, Isle Abbotts, Taunton TA3

This spacious detached bungalow has potential to make it your own and sits in a charming village away from busy traffic. The good size plot with driveway and garage, backs onto open countryside.

The Property

Available with no onward chain, this spacious detached bungalow offers excellent potential-whether you’re seeking the ease of single-level living or a long-term family home to tailor to your own style. The property is already equipped with oil-fired central heating, solar hot water system and double glazing and has had various upgrades and checks over the past few years including a new oil tank and conservatory roof. It sits on a generous plot with a driveway, garage, and gardens to the front and rear.

Accommodation

A practical UPVC front porch provides shelter from the elements and leads into a traditional entrance hall with wood-effect flooring, which continues into the dual-aspect sitting room. This inviting space features a stone fireplace with a cream enamel woodburning stove, creating a charming focal point.

The kitchen extends across the rear of the property, fitted with cream units and beech-effect worktops incorporating a stainless-steel sink, double electric oven, and hob. Adjoining this is a bright conservatory, ideal as a dining area, with doors opening directly onto the garden. To one side, a handy additional WC is tucked away, while the conservatory flows into a generous utility room with space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, a second sink, and the Worcester oil-fired central heating boiler. An internal door also provides access to the garage.

The bungalow offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the two largest enjoying views over the front garden, along with a separate fully tiled shower room fitted with a modern white suite.

Outside

Set back in a slightly elevated position, the property enjoys a driveway providing parking and access to the attached single garage, complete with electric roller shutter door, power, and lighting. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and houses the oil tank for convenient refilling.

To the rear, the garden-clearly a source of pride over the years-now is laid to lower -maintenance paving rather than lawn but remains a generous size with excellent potential for redesign. It includes several outbuildings and storage sheds, along with a charming brick and stone folly currently used as a summerhouse. In one corner lies a former pond with waterfall, which perhaps could be restored to its original character with a little attention. The gardens back onto open fields and more could be made of the vista.
