Detached house for sale in Forton, Chard TA20

The Larches provides a fine opportunity to acquire an individual home believed to date from the early 1900s built of a brick construction under a tiled roof. There are two principal reception rooms both of which enjoy an outlook over the established gardens complemented by a wood burning stove. To the rear is a more recent extension providing a farmhouse style kitchen/diner with a gas fired Rayburn and walk-in pantry cupboard. Also on the ground floor is a useful utility room, with door opening out onto the garden and seating area, and separate shower room with toilet.

A particular feature is the established grounds which back onto open countryside providing considerable privacy with various hidden sections. Within the grounds is a substantial detached double garage built principally of a stone construction with an inspection pit. Other benefits include a summer house and greenhouse.
