Situation

The property is located off Fantley Lane, a small no-through lane on the edge of the village. Bourton is an attractive and vibrant village lying on the Somerset/Dorset/Wiltshire borders just off the A303. Within the village there is a shop with Post Office, a garage, a pub, a church, a primary school and a golf course. There is a doctor’s surgery in the nearby village of Silton and further facilities are available in the nearby towns of Mere, Gillingham, Wincanton and Frome.

There is a railway station at Gillingham with services to London Waterloo and Exeter and there is easy access to the A303 which provides excellent east west road links.

The property

Chilham is an individual detached ‘chalet style’ home standing centrally in a private mature garden. Extended during the 1990s, the property offers deceptive and flexible accommodation extending to about 2014 sq.ft. with a particularly spacious ground floor yet there is still great scope for further improvement, modernisation and refurbishment.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the reception hall from which the staircase rises to the first-floor landing. The triple aspect drawing room/ground floor bedroom has a brick fireplace with fitted gas fire, and both the extended sitting room and the dining room have patio doors opening to the rear terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of floor standing units, and there is a utility room, cloakroom and boot room.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has an en-suite dressing area and bathroom, and there are two further bedrooms, one double with a vaulted ceiling and one single, and the family shower room.

For further details, please refer to the floorplan.

Outside

The property is approached from the lane over a gated gravel driveway which provides ample parking for a number of cars. There is a detached single garage. The gardens are a lovely feature of the property wrapping right around the house and offering a high degree of privacy. Extending to about 1/3 acre and enclosed by mature hedging, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a number of shrub beds and borders and various trees. There are two paved terraces and a vegetable garden with greenhouse.
