Oaklea, Holcombe

Offered for sale with plenty of parking and beautifully landscaped gardens, this detached well presented bungalow has been thoughtfully reconfigured and extended by the current owners.

Holcombe is a Mendip village in popular Somerset just 4 miles from Midsomer Norton and 7 miles from Frome. The cities of Bath and Bristol are 14 and 16 miles respectively.

Oaklea is discretely positioned towards the end of a private road adjacent to fields. The countryside is on your doorstep with plenty of walks to choose from.

You can walk to the Holcombe Inn across the fields adjacent to the property and the Holcombe Farmshop and Duke is at the bottom of Holcombe Hill. Downside Abbey is 1.5 miles away and St Andrews church is within a mile.

A village playing field with a childrens play area is within a few hundred metres. The village also has two churches and plenty of community activities. Downside School is 1.5 miles away.

The property is located towards the end of Croft Road, a private no through road with fields views. There is plenty of off road parking with block paving hard standing for two cars in front of the gate into the front gravelled driveway. A front entrance porch leads into a roomy hallway.

The redesign of the bungalow makes the best use of the space. A bayed sitting room with woodburning stove is to the front of the property with an open plan kitchen dining room to the rear. The flow works really well with a central rear sun deck accessed from the open plan kitchen dining space, the extended master bedroom and utility room making it an easily accessible outdoor living space in the warmer months.

The kitchen dining space is a great place for a cook and to entertain with lots of storage. Then there is wonderful space for the DIY enthusiast with a fully insulated workshop with LED ceiling lights and two velux windows. There is also a useful studio room to the rear that could also be used as a home office.

There are three bedrooms in total with fitted wardrobes to the master en-suite bedroom. This main bedroom is well proportioned and connects to the garden. The en-suite has a walk in shower enclosure and there is also a modern bathroom and a separate WC off the utility room.

For those who appreciate gardening, the rear garden is a very calming space with hidden seating areas dotted around established flower beds. In the middle of the garden, a pergola framed walkway with climbing roses and shrubs leads to a footbridge over a pond to a partially insulated shed and summerhouse with a seating area.

The garden has been worked on for many years and is also productive with strawberry beds and fruit bushes to one side. The garden plot is approximately 1/4 of an acre offering a tranquil and relaxing space to either keep yourself busy or to just sit and take in the beautiful surroundings.

This sizeable bungalow will appeal to those looking to retire who are looking for a garden to keep them busy but could also work for families given the size of the property and being so close to Downside school.
