DESCRIPTION
Ladywell is an outstanding opportunity to purchase a detached bungalow, situated in an enviable location between Crowcombe and Stogumber. The bungalow is believed to have originally been built in the 1930’s and is now in need of refurbishment. Architects have drawn up plans to extend the bungalow in order to create an en-suite bedroom and study. There is also the option to demolish the bungalow and create a new dwelling subject to planning. The bungalow stands in grounds extending to approximately 0.72 of an acre, which have been partly landscaped and provides plenty of parking.

The accommodation currently includes an entrance hallway. The sitting room includes an open fireplace, a bow window to the front and a door to the garden room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, which includes a sink, an oil-fired boiler and hob. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom.
OUTSIDE
There is off-road parking, a garage and the gardens have been partially landscaped and have scope to create a wonderful garden.
