A rare opportunity to acquire a three bedroom detached bungalow with land and no near neighbours in a rural and popular location.
The property has been used by the previous owners for private equestrian use and the current owners have used the property for keeping show dogs in the past. It would suit use as a smallholding or for keeping dogs or for private equestrian use.
The property is situated just off the A37 and there is easy access to the A303 to the south and Shepton Mallet to the north with the Royal Show Ground. West Lydford is a rural village with a church and the popular town of Somerton has a good variety of independent shops and amenities as does Shepton Mallet. There is good schooling in the area including Millfield School just outside Street. Nearby Castle Cary has primary and secondary schooling, a range of shops as well as a mainline rail station.
