West Park, Butleigh

Silver Buckle is a very well presented detached bungalow nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of the popular and well reknowned community-minded village of Butleigh. As it stands currently with three/four bedrooms and wonderful living space, the property provides a fabulous opportunity as a home for retirement or equally has the space to house a family. Offered with no onward chain, the spacious corner plot provides the potential for expansion of the property without compromising the garden or outlook and the set up here lends itself perfectly to this.

The living space is light, airy and generous in size with the sitting and dining areas positioned to enjoy views of the private rear garden. These large sitting and dining spaces open directly to the gardens via large sliding glass doors ensuring a seemless flow inside and out in the spring and summer months. A fireplace with electric fire inset provides warmth on chiller evenings.

The adjacent kitchen is perfectly positioned for catering in the dining room and everyday life. With ample cabinetry, space for all essential appliances, and room for a breakfast table, it is as functional as it is welcoming. A separate utility room provides an ideal back-of-house space, with access to the rear garden and internal entry to the double garage to ensure the practicalities of country living are well catered for.

Two spacious double bedrooms with built in wardrobes along with a single bedroom, all very neat and bright, lead off a generously proportioned hallway. Additionally a home office / study  (or further bedroom if required) provides an ideal spot as a study from which to keep home and life running efficiently. A family bathroom with a shower-over-bath serves the bedrooms, while a separate guest cloakroom is ideally situated by the front entrance.

Running along the front of Silver Buckle is a covered porch, providing a space to discard remnants of a country amble and welcome one inside this very comfortable home. Silver Buckle is perfectly livable as it is but also provides an excting opportunity to develop, extend or re-configure and modernise the current layout. The generous plot size and secluded feel of the position make this bungalow a rare find and we strongly recommend viewing. 

Outside
Silver Buckle is blessed with a private and peaceful rear garden. Boarded with mature trees and a sprinkling of flowering hydragenas and roses the setting is serene. A raised, southeast-facing patio is perfectly placed to catch the morning and early afternoon sun, providing an idyllic setting for coffee, reading, or al fresco dining accompanied by birdsong. Open lawns wrap around to the front of Silver Buckle where there is parking for 3 or 4 vehicles in addition to the double garage.
