We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A substantial five-bedroom semi-detached period home within a prime position within Chard. Offering spacious and versatile accommodation across three floors. EPC Band: E.
1 Lyddons Mead is located within a prime position in one of Chard’s most desirable residential cul-de-sacs.
This impressive five-bedroomed, semi-detached period property offers substantial and well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors.
Retaining a wealth of character features, and a wonderful garden, the property presents an excellent opportunity for growing families.
Whilst well maintained, the property would now benefit from a degree of updating.
The ground floor comprises three versatile reception rooms, including a formal sitting room featuring a period fireplace, a separate dining room with a bay window and a cosy dual aspect breakfast room.
These are complemented by a fitted kitchen with a walk-in larder, an additional utility cupboard, and access to the garden which completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom offering ample room for furnishings.
A large family bathroom and a separate cloakroom serves this level. The second floor provides two large further bedrooms, offering flexible use as guest accommodation or home offices.
Additional information Broadband: FTTP-Ultrafast broadband is available-highest available download speed 1600 Mbps, highest available upload speed 115 Mbps. (Openreach).
Mobile Coverage: Available via EE, O2, three and vodafone. For an indication of specific speeds and supply or coverage in the area we recommend contacting your own provider.
Flooding: The property is in an area at a very low risk from River/Sea and Surface Water flooding (defined as the chance of flooding each year as less than 0.1%).
Lyddons Mead is set on the eastern side of the town some 1⁄2 mile from the centre and within walking distance of Tesco.
The town provides a good range of shops for day to day needs, major supermarkets, schools and recreational facilities. The County Town of Taunton is around 14 miles to the North.
Externally, the property enjoys a generous and mature rear garden, along with a garage. A driveway to the front further enhances the practicality of this attractive home.
Please note that the current owners intend to retain a part (outlined in red on the plan image) of the garden with the view of potential of development, however this could be available by separate negotiation.
