Orchard Rise is a much favoured area located on the Western fringe of Chard but within walking distance of both open countryside and the town centre.
Chard is well served with a wide range of amenities including a choice of major supermarkets, smaller retailers, banks, educational and leisure facilities.
The County town of Taunton is some 14 miles to the North with access to the M5 motorway and intercity rail service (London Paddington) and the Dorset Jurassic Coast a similar distance to the South at Lyme Regis.
To the front, the property is approached via a small brick wall with steps leading down to the front door through an open porch.
A brick paved driveway to the side provides convenient off road parking.
The rear garden can be accessed from the driveway through a wooden side gate and is exceptionally generous in size, enjoying wonderful views towards Windwhistle Hill and Cricket St Thomas.
A large patio extends from the rear of the property with French doors opening from the living room, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining.
The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with flower borders and an area currently set to wildflower, offering plenty of scope to personalise and enhance.
In addition, an extra section of garden leading from the entrance of the site up to the property ensures full control of this area, helping to futureproof privacy.
This property truly needs to be viewed to appreciate the setting and the views.
