DESCRIPTION
A rare opportunity to purchase a three bedroom detached bungalow set within a generous plot (measuring 0.27 acre) within the sought-after village of Alhampton. In need of modernisation, the property offers superb potential and includes beautiful surrounding gardens, a garage and driveway parking. For sale with no onward chain.

A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance hall which gives access to all rooms. To the right of the hall is a dual-aspect sitting room with large window to the front and patio doors to the side. Adjoining there is a kitchen/dining room which requires updating, currently fitted with a range of floor and wall units and includes a built-in pantry, a Rayburn, windows to the back and side and an external door to the garden. There are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single. In addition, there is a bathroom with a built-in airing cupboard and a separate WC. The property is served by electric night storage heaters and is connected to mains drainage.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached from a driveway at the front which provides off road property for a couple of vehicles and leads to an attached garage. Measuring 22'3'' x 8', the garage has an 'up and over' door, light, power and a rear door to the garden. The well-tended gardens surround the property and are ideal for those green-fingered buyers. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens include established borders, trees, shrubs and hedging. To one side of the bungalow is a private south-facing patio seating area.

LOCATION
The pretty and most sought-after hamlet of Alhampton is situated less than three miles north-west of Castle Cary and benefits from a traditional village pub with restaurant and car park. The nearby village of Ditcheat also has an excellent pub, the Manor House Inn, plus a parish church, a primary school and a village hall.

Castle Cary is an attractive and bustling market town of glowing golden stone; it is a haven of historic buildings, independent shops and boutiques surrounded by picture-perfect countryside. Dating back to 1855, The Market House remains the focal point of the town, hosting a weekly market, as well as regular events. The town is home to many independent businesses including shops and art galleries. Amenities include nursery, primary and secondary schools, health centre, dental practice, library, post office, deli, greengrocery, newsagent, chemist, pubs and tea shops. There are large supermarkets a 15-minute drive away in the nearby towns of Wincanton and Shepton Mallet. The Newt in Somerset, a magnificent country estate with hotel, restaurant, woodland and gardens is just a short drive away. In addition, the fashionable town of Bruton, also close by, is home to Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a pioneering world-class art gallery. The mainline railway station situated on the edge of Castle Cary makes this a fantastic location for commuters (London Paddington is approx. 90 mins) and the A303 is also within easy reach.

DIRECTIONS
From Castle Cary, travel north on the A371 passing the railway station towards Shepton Mallet. Just after the Murco petrol station on the left and before the Brook House Inn, turn left signposted for Alhampton. Follow the road along and around to the left into the village. Passing the Alhampton Inn on the left, follow the road around to the right towards Ditcheat. The property can be found after a short distance on the right hand side.
