About this listing

A superbly positioned and beautifully extended three-bedroom bungalow, occupying approximately 1.6 acres of gardens, grounds and woodland, enjoying breathtaking far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and vale. Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, this attractive single-storey home offers a rare combination of character, space and outdoor lifestyle opportunities. The property has been thoughtfully extended to create a wonderful open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, which forms the heart of the home. Flooded with natural light and perfectly orientated to take advantage of the spectacular views, this impressive room provides an ideal environment for both everyday family life and entertaining. The accommodation is well arranged, with three comfortable bedrooms positioned to the rear of the property, all served by a modern family bathroom. Outside, the property truly comes into its own. Ample driveway parking leads to the barn conversion and the extensive grounds beyond. The plot extends to approximately 1.6 acres and rises gently behind the property, creating a wonderfully private and versatile outdoor space. Halfway up the grounds sits a substantial workshop, approximately the size of a double garage, offering excellent storage, hobby space or potential for a variety of uses subject to any necessary consents. The upper section of the plot is laid to mature woodland, creating an enchanting natural area that is perfect for children to explore, wildlife enthusiasts, or simply those seeking a peaceful retreat within their own land. The elevated position provides stunning panoramic views across the vale and surrounding countryside, which can be enjoyed from both the property and the generous terrace, making this a truly special setting. Combining rural tranquillity with practical living accommodation, extensive parking, useful outbuildings and exceptional grounds, this unique barn conversion offers an increasingly rare opportunity in a highly desirable countryside location. Higher Chillington is a small rural hamlet situated amidst the beautiful South Somerset countryside, ideally positioned between the thriving market towns of Crewkerne, Chard and Ilminster. The surrounding area is renowned for its rolling farmland, unspoilt countryside and extensive network of footpaths and bridleways, making it particularly appealing to those seeking a quieter pace of life. Despite its peaceful setting, the property enjoys convenient access to a wide range of everyday amenities. The nearby towns of Crewkerne, Chard and Ilminster provide supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, healthcare facilities and well-regarded schooling. Crewkerne also benefits from a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Waterloo, making the area attractive to commuters as well as those looking for a countryside retreat. The wider region offers a wealth of recreational opportunities, with the spectacular Jurassic Coast, the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the county town of Taunton all within easy reach. Combining rural tranquillity with excellent accessibility, Higher Chillington remains one of South Somerset's hidden gems.
