Property Description

With the benefit of no onward chain and offered to proceedable buyers only, this is a superb opportunity to purchase a wonderful family home of traditional brick construction under a tiled roof. Lightgate Lane is in an ideal location offering a short walk to the local shops and schools as well as all the leisure and health facilities in South Petherton.

Having been in the same family since it was built, 8 Lightgate Lane is set back and elevated from the road on a level plot with driveway parking and garage, and gardens to front and rear. The accommodation offers a bright kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility and WC, 20′ sitting room and large conservatory, hallway and enclosed porch to the ground floor with three bedrooms and family bathroom to the first floor. The south facing rear garden with patio, lawn and pathways has three large sheds, greenhouse and side access to the garage. Heating is via a Gas central heating system and all windows are double glazed. Solar panels on a “rent a roof” scheme significantly help to keep the electricity bills down.

South Petherton is a beautiful Somerset village set in attractive surrounding countryside yet just half a mile from the A303 road. The village offers a wide range of shopping facilities, two schools, library, pub, churches, hospital, doctor and veterinary surgeries, chemist, tennis and bowling clubs. There are bus services to neighbouring towns and villages. Yeovil is 10 miles, Crewkerne (mainline station to Waterloo) 6 miles, Ilminster 6 miles, the county town of Taunton (M5 Motorway and mainline station to Paddington) 18 miles, and the south coast at Lyme Regis 22 miles.
