3 bed detached house for sale

Zeals Rise, Warminster BA12

Set in a tranquil, established setting of predominantly bungalows in the sought-after Wiltshire village of Zeals, this attractive three-bedroom detached bungalow offers versatile accommodation. The home features a spacious kitchen, a comfortable sitting room leading through to an impressive 20ft conservatory/dining room, three bedrooms and a modern shower room. Further benefits include a detached garage, ample driveway parking and a sunny aspect, established rear garden overlooking open fields and countryside. Ready to move into, the property is offered with no onward chain.

Stepping through the entrance porch, you arrive in the hallway, which provides a natural introduction to the accommodation and connects the bedrooms and living spaces. The layout works particularly well for anyone looking for the ease of single-storey living, while offering flexibility to adapt individual rooms as requirements change. The hallway also benefits from a useful airing cupboard with shelving housing the water tank and loft access.

The principal bedroom is a particularly spacious double positioned to the front of the bungalow, while bedroom three also enjoys a front-facing aspect. This third bedroom would work equally well as a home office, hobby room or occasional guest room.

Further along the hallway, the fully tiled shower room is fitted with a modern white suite comprising a shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC, creating a practical and easily maintained space.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly found towards the rear of the home. From the hallway, the kitchen lies to the left, bedroom two is positioned straight ahead and the sitting room is found to the right, with the conservatory and garden beyond.

The good-sized kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall, drawer and base units, including glazed display cabinets and a useful wine rack. Extensive workspace provides plenty of room for everyday cooking and preparation, while there is also space for a table, creating a relaxed setting for breakfast, informal meals or a morning coffee.

A large picture window draws in natural light and frames the attractive outlook across the rear garden towards the open fields and surrounding countryside. Appliances include a built-in fridge freezer and a freestanding electric cooker with a ceramic hob, double oven and grill, complemented by a stainless-steel chimney-style extractor hood. There is also space and plumbing for a washing machine. A separate side entrance opens directly onto the driveway, providing convenient everyday access.

Bedroom two is a light and inviting room with a glazed door opening directly onto the rear garden. This versatile space could be used as a bedroom, welcoming guest room, peaceful home office or somewhere to sit and enjoy the garden.

The sitting room provides a cosy and welcoming retreat in which to relax at the end of the day. Double doors open into the impressive 20ft conservatory/dining room, allowing the two rooms to work beautifully together while retaining their individual character.

The conservatory is a wonderful addition to the home, with ample room for a dining table alongside comfortable seating. It provides an inviting setting for family meals, entertaining friends and family, or simply unwinding while appreciating the garden. The established surroundings offer an appealing degree of privacy, while French doors open directly onto the patio and rear garden, creating a natural connection with the outdoors.

The bungalow benefits from double glazing throughout and electric storage heating, with solar panels contributing to its electricity supply.

Outside, Garage and Parking

To the front, an established lawned garden creates a welcoming approach, with a pathway leading to the entrance porch. A driveway extends alongside the bungalow, providing parking for several vehicles and access to the detached single garage. Gated access leads through to the rear garden.

The fully enclosed rear garden enjoys a sunny aspect and is predominantly laid to lawn, with established flower beds, mature planting and hedging creating an attractive and private setting. The open fields and countryside beyond the rear boundary provide a stunning rural outlook and an appealing sense of space.

A patio adjoining the conservatory offers an inviting place for outdoor furniture and relaxed al fresco dining.

Direct access from the conservatory and Bedroom 2 allows the outside space to become a natural extension of the accommodation during the warmer months. The garden also benefits from an exterior light and outside tap.

Location

Zeals is an attractive Wiltshire village close to the borders with Somerset and Dorset, surrounded by countryside yet conveniently positioned for travelling further afield. The village regained much of its quieter character following the opening of the A303 bypass in 1992, while local historical records indicate that the Zeals Rise development largely dates from the 1970s.

The village has a welcoming, well-established community and useful everyday amenities, including a primary school, village store with post office and The Bell & Crown, a popular village pub. The neighbouring Dorset village of Bourton provides further facilities, including a primary school, church, petrol station and The White Lion Inn.

The nearby town of Mere offers a useful range of everyday facilities, while Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Wincanton and Warminster provide a wider selection of shops, schools, leisure facilities and services.

The location is particularly convenient for access to the A303, providing road connections towards London and the South West. Mainline railway services are available from Gillingham, Castle Cary and Warminster, while the surrounding countryside, Stourhead estate and Alfred’s Tower provide plenty of opportunities for walking and exploring.
