Property for sale near Bridgwater: four-bedroom house

The centre of Bridgwater is just one and a half miles away, while the Quantock Hills are within easy reach.

The characterful, semi-detached house has a rich history and is believed to date back to the 1850s and is being offered to the market for the first time in more than 30 years. The four-storey dwelling requires some cosmetic updates and enhancements in some rooms but offers spacious and flexible accommodation with a wealth of charming and character features such as ornate fireplaces, picture rails, cornicing, wooden flooring, high ceilings and picture windows.

Beyond the front door with stained glass panels, there is a welcoming L-shaped entrance hall that leads to two reception rooms. The sitting room is well-proportioned and has an attractive bay window and an open fireplace. The dining room sits at the back of the house and has two sets of doors that open to the rear garden and a fireplace with a wood burner. The light-filled kitchen is a good size and has a mixture of open and closed cupboards, and enough space to accommodate a table and chairs. From the hall, stairs lead down to a handy cellar.

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms with feature fireplaces and a sizeable family bathroom. The principal bedroom has the added advantage of having an ensuite bathroom.

Two further rooms can be found on the second floor, offering a variety of uses, either as two single bedrooms or a bedroom and music/hobbies room or study.

Outside, the pretty cottage-style garden has an abundance of mature shrubs, well-established trees and a courtyard area that is perfect for summer entertaining.

At the front, the driveway provides ample parking space for several vehicles.
