Snipe Furlong

A detached four bedroom bungalow finished to an exquisite standard, sitting within a plot amounting to 3.025 acres. Boasting an array of spacious outbuildings with a double garage. An early viewing is highly advised.

Snipe Furlong is an impressive detached four bedroom bungalow, sitting within its own grounds which total in excess of 3 acres. The residence has been restored, extended and improved by the current owners during their tenure, to produce what is now a wonderful, flexible home.

Upon approach via a gated entrance you are met with an extensive tarmac driveway, with an immediate view of the property, garage and outbuildings. The presentation of the residence itself is one of it's many attributes, with the home and garage being designed in keeping with one another. The easily distinguishable and stylish cream fibre/cement cladding sits both on the garage and the left side of the home, while Astral Payrex render sits to the right. Attractive yet subtle red tiling sits upon both areas, with restored red tiling used above the timber barn beyond. The entire property is surrounded by well-maintained mature gardens, providing a wonderful outlook in all directions.

Within the bungalow itself, the accommodation is both spacious and light. Once inside the entrance hall, you can begin to enjoy the clever design. Firstly, the kitchen/diner comprises of a stunning kitchen area with island centre piece, dual aspect with window to the front aspect and French doors to the rear. The kitchen itself benefits from an array of fitted Neff appliances, consisting of a self-cleaning oven, combination microwave oven, warming drawer, induction hob, large fridge, freezer and integrated dishwasher, along with a Qettle combined boiling water/filtered cold water/normal hot and cold suppy tap. To the right a door leads to the sizeable utility room, fitted with a range of kitchen base units with space for a washing machine and / or further appliances, along with additional larder style storage areas to the left. A further door leads to a rear porch area, ideal for any dog owner.

To the left of the kitchen /diner, in an open-plan nature but still allowing a sense of separation, sits the lounge. A wood burner is a real highlight of this area and again with French doors opening out to the rear garden. To the far end sits the 'garden room', which is an inviting area with tri-fold doors and picture windows providing an outlook over the majority of the plot and beyond, a beautiful room to enjoy sunny days.

The four bedrooms sit to the left hand side of the property, predominantly in the extended area of the home. All four bedrooms are sizeable doubles, allowing flexibility for different purposes if required. The main bedroom to the far end of the home is exceptional, with a large array of built in wardrobe space, along with a further walk-through dressing area and leading to the en-suite. The en-suite itself comprises of a spacious walk-in shower unit, hand basin with storage and lavatory. The second bedroom boasts a further en suite, this time comprising of a corner Jacuzzi shower with music speakers and lights, hand basin and lavatory. The final two bedrooms rooms are doubles once again. The third is currently utilised as a snug, while the fourth is used as a study space. This clearly demonstrates the flexibility of the home, allowing for a wide variety of purchasers with different lifestyles and family sizes. All bedrooms overlook the beautiful gardens.

The home is warmed by oil fired central heating, with an underfloor heating system fitted across the entire property with the exception of the utility and garden room. The heating system itself is sectioned into individual rooms and can be controlled as such, allowing for an easy to use yet efficient warming of the home. All of the windows and doors are double glazed throughout the property, while the home has also benefitted from a complete re-wire in recent years.

Externally the residence boasts in excess of 3 acres of mature and well maintained gardens, split into different areas, with a variety of outbuildings. To the rear of the property sits an area of patio, flower beds and stone chippings, thoroughly enjoyed through all months of the year. The majority of the plot then sits to the East side of the property, with an attractive set of trees positioned amongst a wide spread area of lawn. The popular attraction of Glastonbury Tor can be seen from various areas of the plot, while the view in all directions is quite spectacular. Complete privacy is received throughout the entirety of the outside space enjoyed by Snipe Furlong.

The double garage is the first outbuilding you arrive at when visiting. An attractive structure in keeping with the home itself, with electric roller door frontage. The space inside is skimmed and finished well, with plumbing available, light and power. This allows for a great deal of flexibility, with options for conversion and annexe potential (STP). Two further, large outbuildings can be found. The first is a large wood built workshop, with a roof made of restored tiles from the original bungalow at Snipe Furlong. A separate area can be found to the left side of this workshop, currently used as an external office style space, with a multi fuel stove installed to allow for use all year round. The third outbuilding again is of good size. This area is currently used to house a variety of garden tools / mowers, but could easily be used for multiple other purposes. All external structures are fit with light and power. Finally, a wood store and outside W/C (connected straight to the treatment plant).

Greenslade Taylor Hunt highly advise an early viewing appointment for this wonderful slice of the countryside. Snipe Furlong is a truly delightful property which occupies a simply wonderful plot. This, in truth, can only be fully appreciated in person.

The property is situated in the sought after village of Catcott in the heart of the Polden hills. Within the village there is a primary school and 2 public houses. On the border of Catcott and Edington you can find a doctors surgery and village store. Further shopping and leisure facilities can be found in the towns of Bridgwater and Street. Ideally situated for the commuter with links to the M5 motorway at junction 23 and a mainline intercity rail link at Bridgwater.
