3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Dropping Lane, Bruton, Somerset BA10

Within a short walk of the renowned Hauser & Wirth Somerset art gallery and the historic Bruton Dovecote. Set within approximately a quarter of an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, the property also benefits from a detached garage, ample parking and views across the surrounding countryside.

An enclosed entrance porch opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway, complete with a double linen cupboard and access to the loft space. To the left is a bright and airy sitting room featuring an attractive limestone fireplace with inset wood-burning stove, creating a wonderful focal point. A wide opening leads seamlessly through to the dining room, where patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, while a further door connects to the kitchen/breakfast room.

A particular highlight of the property is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, which provides an excellent family space with ample room for a dining table. Fitted with an extensive range of units complemented by solid wood work surfaces, the kitchen also includes a Stoves electric double oven and a traditional Rayburn cooker, enhancing the room’s charming country character. A practical rear porch provides the perfect space for coats, boots and muddy paws.

The bungalow offers three generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in triple wardrobes. Completing the accommodation is a stylishly refitted family bath/shower room comprising a modern suite with bath, large walk-in shower, WC and contemporary vanity wash basin unit.

Outside, the gardens are a true feature of the property and will particularly appeal to keen gardeners. To the front there is extensive parking for several vehicles, a detached garage, an area of lawn and a productive fruit cage, all enclosed by an attractive natural stone wall.

The rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and is beautifully stocked with an abundance of mature shrubs, flowering borders, hedging and rose beds, providing year round colour and interest. In addition, there is a greenhouse together with a useful gardener’s WC attached to the property, adding further practicality to this superb outdoor space.

In summary, this is an impressive and rarely available bungalow offering spacious, well-presented accommodation in a semi- rural setting close to the many amenities and attractions that Bruton has to offer.
