5 bed detached house for sale

Sparkford, Yeovil, Somerset BA22

A substantial detached chalet bungalow believed to have been built in the 1920's. 4/5 bedroom accommodation with a flexible layout. Wonderful plot extending to 0.93 of an acre. No onward chain.

Lime Kiln is offered to the market with no onward chain, presenting an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful chalet style property that enjoys a high level of privacy and stands on a mature plot extending to just under an acre. Believed to date back to the 1920s, the property enjoys an elevated position with far reaching views across adjoining land and towards the village of Queen Camel and beyond.
The accommodation is exceptionally generous and versatile, ideally suited to multi-generational living. The ground floor provides multiple reception rooms along with a well proportioned bedroom suite, offering excellent potential for a dependent relative, guest suite, or home working space. The first floor accommodation has the benefit of twin staircases with two of the bedrooms interconnecting, allowing for a variety of layout options.

Lime Kiln benefits from oil-fired central heating and double glazing, and while the property is perfectly comfortable and fully habitable as it stands, it also offers scope for modernisation for those wishing to enhance or reconfigure the space.

Agent’s note

Please be aware that the roof covering has spray foam insulation beneath which is likely to cause problems for those obtaining a mortgage. It is also understood that the roof slates may contain asbestos. Purchasers are therefore encouraged to factor this in to their improvement costings.

The property is situated between the villages of Sparkford and Queen Camel, both a short walk, and therefore offers quick access to the recently improved A303. Both villages offer primary schools and public houses, whilst Queen Camel has a modern doctors’ surgery, shop and café. The nearest towns are Yeovil and Sherborne whilst Wincanton, Castle Cary and Bruton are readily accessible.

This outstanding and rarely found size of plot offers extensive off road parking together with a triple garage block, a large workshop with store and a further attached garage, numerous garden sheds and greenhouses. The grounds themselves feature a lawned garden with pond, a large enclosed sun terrace/patio to one side. Further there is a former vegetable growing area, a small paddock with an adjoining orchard. There is huge scope to keep ducks, chickens and possibly a pony.

A further small garage, which is believed to have been part of the original lime kiln, is accessed from the roadside.
